Sharkoon does not always provide Windows Update drivers. Try:

Option A – Generic HID driver (works for basic keys/mouse):

Option B – Sharkoon official software:

Option C – Force driver via INF (advanced): If you have a .inf file from Sharkoon, right-click it → Install.

If the device remains unrecognized after all steps:

Check the physical PCB: open the controller (careful with screws) and look for markings like “HS8836”, “BJ-306”, or “TX-168”. That can help locate a dedicated driver.

Otherwise, replace the controller with a known compatible model like Logitech F310 or Xbox controller – these have native Windows drivers and avoid vid-1ea7 headaches.

Update: If you’re seeing amp-mi-00 in your logs and nothing else, you might have a partial USB descriptor corruption. Try:

echo '1ea7 0066' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/new_id

Then replug the device.

Would love to hear if anyone has decoded the full HID report set for MI-00—especially the command to disable the "beep" on mute toggle.
