About HeadsetControl

HeadsetControl is an open source command-line tool that controls selected USB gaming headsets from Logitech, SteelSeries, and Corsair on Linux and macOS. It can adjust sidetone, which lets the user hear their own voice without the latency of software loopback, and it can show battery charge level, voltage, and remaining time. It also covers LED lights, equalizer presets and custom curves, chat-mix balance, and an inactive-time auto power-off timer.

Support depends on the specific headset. Only certain models are covered, and the Supported Devices table in the repository lists which features each one supports. Linux users may need the udev rules that the install step adds for non-root access, and the portable macOS build requires macOS 13.3 or newer.
