RIval 500 Not Working

See original GitHub issue

Whenever I try to run rivalcfg I get the following error:

> ~ $ rivalcfg -c aqua
W: The following mouse was found but rivalcfg was not able to open it:
  * mouse: SteelSeries Rival 500 (Experimental) (1038:170E)
  * error: open failed

Please check that no other application is controlling this mouse and try to:
  * unplug the mouse from the USB port,
  * wait few seconds,
  * and plug the mouse to the USB port again.

Usage: rivalcfg [options]

rivalcfg: error: no such option: -c

Hi,

sorry for the tame I took to answer this issue… Anyway, for the permission issue (using sudo), this can be caused by a missing configuration file. See this: https://github.com/flozz/rivalcfg#i-have-a-permission-denied-error-what-can-i-do
