Would it be possible to create your own mouse software for an existing mouse? If not, why?

I don't know too much about programming but I am genuinely curious as to whether or not someone could write their own mouse software?

I got a Razer Ouroboros awhile back and LOVED the shape and layout but the software was awful!
 

In that case, would it be possible to edit the existing software? Take out the requirement for a login and cloud sync?

Maybe you could even allow for more specific dpi adjustments...

 

Let me know!

Well, first off, you would need to know how the hardware of the mouse works and know how to communicate with the mouse. Then to actually change the program, you would need it's source code and I am pretty sure that razer's software is all closed-source meaning you can't access it. It's not as simple as editing a file.

This probably breaks the license agreement, but you can reverse engineer the software with OllyDBG, disassemble with something like IDA and reassemble after you've made your changes.
