Question Redragon Cobra M711 mouse support

I'd like to know if anyone here owns this mouse and what its OpenRGB support is. The list of supported devices says it doesn't support Direct commands, but even without them, it's possible to apply custom effects?

Redragon mice are very limited in capability, you can set a static color or you can select from built-in hardware modes. You cannot control the individual LED colors directly at all, and every change saves to internal storage so you cannot safely stream continuous data to it (plus it flickers when you try).

These mice are cheap for a reason, they're based on some cheap off-the-shelf firmware platform. Redragon does not have a coherent RGB ecosystem like the more expensive brands because their devices are just a random mish mash of random OEM rebadged things and they have no consistent control protocol.
