Where Do I Request A Device Be Added? (self.openrgb)

I'm trying to get my mouse mat to connect but it just doesn't show up. Is it possible to add things that don't normally have a program to control them? It's just a button on the pad.

If it doesn't have an official control app then we most likely cannot add it. Usually button-controlled RGB means that the device just uses the USB cable for power, not data, so there is no control protocol we can send to the device to control it. We use the official applications to reverse engineer the control commands.

Well poop. As long as I got you here Is the MSI Vigor GK50 Elite keyboard compatible?

Likely not possible. It only uses the USB for power, thus can't be controlled through the port.

Yeah, I ended up returning it and got one that has the ability.
