R8 Mouse Software New

I'll create a concise feature specification for a new "R8 Mouse" software. If you want a different format (PRD, user story list, mock UI, or development tasks), tell me which.

🔹 Buttons (Customization)

  • Assign macros, media keys, or remap left/right click.
  • Common bug: If macros don’t work, save to onboard memory (if supported) or keep software running.

2. Advanced DPI Customization

Precision is the name of the game. The new software allows for granular DPI adjustment down to the single digit. Whether you play tactical shooters at 400 DPI or MOBAs at 1600 DPI, the new slider and input fields offer a lag-free way to set your sensitivity. Furthermore, the "X/Y Axis Independent Sensitivity" feature is a welcome addition for those who prefer different horizontal and vertical sensitivities.

R8 New Software vs. Old Software: Feature Comparison

| Feature | Legacy Software (v1.x) | New Software (v2.x+) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Windows 11 Support | Broken (requires legacy mode) | Native 24H2 certified | | DPI Adjustment | Typed numbers only | Graphical slider + live preview | | Macro Complexity | Keyboard only, linear | Mouse + Keyboard, editable timeline | | LOD Tuning | None | 1mm/2mm/3mm wizard | | UI Language | Broken English/Chinese | Full English + 8 other languages | | Firmware Update | Manual download | Auto-prompt within app | | File Size | 120MB (bloated) | 38MB (optimized) |

7. Alternatives (If Official Software is Bad)

  • Razer Synapse 3 – Not compatible (but some remap via 3rd-party tools like X-Mouse Button Control)
  • X-Mouse Button Control – Free, lightweight, works with almost any mouse for button remapping (no DPI/LED control though)
  • OpenRGB – May control RGB on certain R8 OEM models

Core features

  1. Device detection & firmware

    • Detect connected R8 mice via USB.
    • Show firmware version; one-click firmware update with checksum/rollback.

  2. Profiles

    • Create/save/load unlimited local profiles.
    • Auto-switch profiles per active application (executable match).
    • Cloud sync optional (disabled by default; stored encrypted) — assume later.

  3. DPI & sensitivity

    • 5 configurable DPI stages (integer values 100–26,000).
    • Global sensitivity multiplier (0.1x–10.0x).
    • On-board profile saving to mouse (2–4 onboard slots).

  4. Button remapping

    • Remap any of N physical buttons to: mouse functions, keyboard keys, multimedia, shortcuts, macros, OS actions (copy/paste), or disabled.
    • Per-profile and per-application mappings.

  5. Macros

    • Record/replay macros with adjustable playback speed, repeat options, and delays.
    • Support for macro sequences, conditional pauses (wait for key), and variable insertion (text snippets).
    • Export/import macros (.r8macro).

  6. RGB lighting

    • Multiple effects: static, breathing, wave, reactive, sync.
    • Per-zone color picker and brightness control.
    • Animation editor for custom sequences and per-profile lighting.
    • Sync with other R8 devices on same host.

  7. Performance tuning

    • Polling rate selection: 125/250/500/1000 Hz.
    • Lift-off distance (LOD) adjustment and surface calibration wizard.
    • Angle snapping toggle and prediction filtering slider.
    • Power plan for wireless variant: battery saver, balanced, performance with estimated battery time.

  8. Diagnostics & logs

    • Real-time sensor telemetry (CPI, Hz, battery, temperature).
    • Input latency test and click latency measurement.
    • Export logs for support.

  9. UI/UX

    • Clean single-window app with tabs: Dashboard, Buttons, DPI, Lighting, Macros, Profiles, Settings.
    • Quick-toggle mini-overlay for DPI and profile changes in games (hotkey to show/hide).
    • Dark/light themes; high-DPI scaling.

  10. Accessibility & localization

    • Keyboard navigable UI; screen-reader labels.
    • Localization support (en, fr, de, es, zh, ja) via resource files.

  11. Security & privacy

    • Runs locally; optional anonymous telemetry opt-in.
    • Profile files saved locally; export can be encrypted with a password.

4. On-the-Fly Profile Switching

The new software supports up to 5 onboard profiles. You can bind profile cycling to a mouse button and see which profile is active via a subtle OSD (On-Screen Display) notification – previously absent.
