Reference
Supported devices, the features each brand supports, the settings page, command-line options and where Gearwise keeps its files. This page describes Gearwise 0.1.0.
What each brand supports

Supported devices
Gearwise recognises the devices below. So far three of them have been tested on real hardware: the Logitech G502 HERO (wired), the Logitech Lightspeed receiver and the Corsair K55 RGB PRO. Support for the others is built from published protocol descriptions and checked with automated tests. Please report problems on the issues page.
Logitech
Logitech devices are not listed by model. Gearwise asks each device which features it has, using Logitech's HID++ 2.0 protocol, so G-series and MX devices work without a model list. They can be connected by cable, through a Lightspeed, Unifying or Bolt receiver, or over Bluetooth.

File locations
Gearwise keeps all profiles, macros and app settings in one file, library.json.
| System | Location |
|---|---|
| Linux | ~/.config/gearwise/library.json, or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gearwise/library.json if that variable is set |
| Windows | %APPDATA%\gearwise\library.json |
If the file is damaged, Gearwise keeps a backup copy of it and starts with a fresh one. Exported profiles are separate files ending in .gearwise-profile.json.
