@reillyeon @andypiper I guess the feature request is to make it work over Bluetooth, and to get access to non-standard buttons via WebHID!? As far as I can tell, so far it needs to be plugged in via USB to be recognized. I let the original poster chime in

@kennethrohde @BenDelarre To be fair it’s probably a too niche of a use case.
