Colors

This mouse supports colors. Various formats are supported.

Hexadecimal notation

You can use a 24 bit hexadecimal notation (like in HTML / CSS documents). Example of “red” color using hexadecimal notation:

#FF0000
FF0000
#F00
F00

Named Colors

The folowing named colors are supported:

`white`	`red`	`lime`	`blue`
`silver`	`maroon`	`green`	`navy`
`gray`	`yellow`	`aqua`	`fuchsia`
`black`	`olive`	`teal`	`purple`

RGB Tuple (Python API only)

If you are using the Python API (not the command line interface), you can also pass colors as RGB tuple or list:

(255, 0, 0)
[255, 0, 0]

RGB Gradients

This mouse supports RGB Gradient. In addition of static colors, you can configure a gradient. The color of the mouse will change according to the colors of the gradient.

RGB Gradient expression

The RGB Gradient follows this format:

rgbgradient(duration=<DURATION>; colors=<POS1>: <COLOR1>, <POSN>: COLORN>)

duration: the time in miliseconds of the color loop. This parameter is optional. Default value: 1000 (1 second).
colors: the colors of the gradient.
- The <POS> parameters are the position of the color stops (e.g. 0%, 50%,…).
- The <COLOR> parameters are the colors in any suported format (se above).

Note

A maximum of 14 color are supported in a RGB Gradient.

Example Gradients

rgbgradient(duration=5000; colors=0%: red, 33%: lime, 66%: blue)

rgbgradient(duration=5000; colors=0%: #e90cce, 33%: #ffe701, 66%: #01cafe)

rgbgradient(duration=1000; colors=0%: #ff1800, 50%: #fde700)

rgbgradient(duration=1000; colors=0%: #3acbe8, 50%: #8706fe)

rgbgradient(duration=15000; colors=0%: black, 8%: red, 16%: black, 24%: yellow, 32%: black, 40%: lime, 48%: black, 56%: aqua, 64%: black, 72%: blue, 80%: black, 88%: fuchsia)

RGB Gradient Dict (Python API only)

If you are using the Python API (not the command line interface), you can also pass a Python dict to define a gradient.

Example:

{
    "duration": 5000,  # ms
    "colors": [
        {"pos": 0, "color": "red"},
        {"pos": 33, "color": "#00FF00"},
        {"pos": 66, "color": (0, 0, 255)},
    ]
}

Buttons

This mouse supports buttons mapping. Buttons can be mapped with:

some special actions,
mouse buttons,
multimedia keys,
and keyboard keys.

The general syntax for buttons mapping is the following:

buttons(layout=<LAYOUT>; button1=<mapping1>; buttonN=<mappingN>)

Example:

rivalcfg --buttons "buttons(layout=QWERTY; button1=button1; button2=PlayPause; button3=disabled; button5=A; button6=DPI)"

Arguments:

layout: The keyboard layout to use when papping the keys (see the “Mapping Keyboard Keys” section bellow).
button1: The first button of the mouse.
button2: The second button of the mouse.
buttonN: The Nth button of the mouse (The number of available buttons depends of the mouse model).

Note

All parameters are optional. If you do not define a mapping for a specific button, it will be reset to its default value.

You can also reset all buttons to their factory default by passing "default" as parameter:

rivalcfg --buttons default

Warning

Be sure to map the mouse button button1 on some button, else you will not be able to click with the mouse!

Mapping Special Actions

The following special actions are available¹:

disabled: disable the button,
dpi: use this button to switch between DPI presets,
ScrollUp: simulate a scroll up (not available on all devices¹)
ScrollDown: simulate a scroll down (not available on all devices¹)

Example:

buttons(button4=disabled; button5=disabled; button6=DPI)

Note

¹ The ScrollUp and ScrollDown actions are not available on all devices.

Rival 300 / Rival: OK
Sensei [RAW]: Not supported

Mapping Mouse Buttons

Mouse buttons can be mapped to any other mouse button.

For example, this swaps the 1 and 2 buttons of the mouse:

buttons(button1=button2; button2=button1)

Mapping Multimedia Keys

Mouse buttons can be mapped to multimedia keys. The following keys are available:

Mute: turn off the sound
Next: play next media
PlayPause: toggle play / pause on the currently playing media
Previous: play the previous media
VolumeUp: increase the volume
VolumeDown: decrease the volume

Example:

buttons(button4=VolumeDown; button5=VolumeUp)

Mapping Keyboard Keys

Mouse buttons can be mapped to any keyboard key, using different layouts.

To select the desired layout, just use the layout parameter. If this parameter is not specified, the QWERTY layout will be used by default.

Available layouts:

QWERTY (see available keys)

The available keys depend on the selected layout.

Example:

buttons(layout=QWERTY; button7=PageDown; button8=PageUp)

Note

Some characters like ; or = cannot be used as a key identifier as they interfere with the buttons() syntax. For those keys, use one of the available aliases, like semicolon (instead of ;) or equal (instead of =).

Example:

buttons(button4=semicolon; button5=equal)
