Thanks

A huge thanks to IllicitFrog for their original implementation of this application. Without their work I would not have gotten inspired to reverse engineer the way the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless headset worked.

Thanks to Stroopwafe1 for delivering an updated fork and delivering Installation instructions in the README.md. Also, big thanks for the additional features that were implemented.

Headset Unavailable, when launching the App

The following fix worked for me:

1. Create a new udev rule file:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-hyperx.rules

2. Add the following content to the file:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="098d", MODE="0666"

3. Reload the udev rules:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo udevadm trigger

4. Unplug and replug the HID device.
5. Finally try running the program again.
