Sounds reasonable:)

Well, I am planning to add the property
"rechargeable.command_interface" and check it to be "CSR". Because it
seems these logitech mice have common way to get the stuff - based on
some CSR solution. Checking for *.Logitech does not look good - some
Logitech mice can use other chipsets and interfaces

Yeah, that's reasonable.

Absolutely clear.

Thank you for the hints,
