Prerequisites

Start by reading the Driver testing page to get an introduction to driver testing.

TailLight driver

The MouseMirror driver will install itself on top of the existing "Microsoft Pro Intellimouse ..." device with HWID HID\VID_045E&PID_082A&MI_00&Col01 (can be modified to fit other mouse models). The TailLight driver will install itself on top of the existing "HID-compliant vendor-defined device" device with HWID HID\VID_045E&PID_082A&MI_01&Col05.
