I thought that when I started this thing. Turns out, every device implements slightly different flavors of USB-HID in their drivers. It's a complete shitshow under the hood. I'm trying to get iOS working, but it's so opaque compared to Android. I have achieved limited functionality with iOS, but it's not the buttery smooth action I can get on PC or Android.

Just clone the scroll messaging from any old generic that works already. MiM for the easy win.

A lot of generics (and name brands!) really don’t work right though. Scroll wheel is a mess in macOS.

Logi ergo scroll wheel doesn’t work. ProtoArc M01 works for a bit then stops working after a few minutes. Logi M575 works flawlessly.
