Corsair Void Headset & Kysona M600 Lightweight Gaming Mouse Support In Linux 6.13

([Hardware] 6 Hours Ago Linux 6.13 HID)


The HID subsystem updates have been submitted for the [1]Linux 6.13 kernel cycle.

Notable to HID for Linux 6.13 is [2]a new driver supporting the Corsair Void headset . This new corsair-void driver it allows for battery status reporting, sidetone setting, microphone location reporting, firmware information reporting, USB wireless status handling, and other features to work under Linux. This Corsair Void driver wasn't developed by Corsair themselves but rather the open-source community.

Another new HID driver for this next Linux kernel version is the "kysona" driver for supporting Kysona branded devices but initially is limited to just their M600 lightweight gaming mouse. With this driver the battery status reporting for the Kysona M600 gaming mouse is working.

Kysona is a Chinese brand and their M600 ultra-lightweight gaming mouse retails for $25~39 USD depending upon the Internet retailer. The M600 appears to be a very simple gaming mouse compared to what's available from the likes of Razer and Logitech while its main selling point is that it weighs just 55 grams. It claims to have a 26K DPI sensor and 80 hour battery life.

The HID pull for Linux 6.13 also has [3]support for the latest Apple Magic Trackpad USB-C model.

Via HID BPF additions come fixes for the Rapoo M50 Plus Silent side buttons and NKRO on the Mistel MD770. More details on the other HID changes for Linux 6.13 via [4]this pull request .

It is imperative when flying coach that you restrain any tendency toward
the vividly imaginative. For although it may momentarily appear to be the
case, it is not at all likely that the cabin is entirely inhabited by
crying babies smoking inexpensive domestic cigars.
