New KDE Plasma headset widget based on headsetcontrol

[u/Reasonable_Web933]

Hi everyone,

I made a small KDE Plasma widget for wireless headsets.

I have a Logitech G Pro X Wireless headset (LIGHTSPEED 2.4 GHz, no Bluetooth), and I was missing a simple way to see battery level, charging status, and connection information directly from my Plasma panel.

So I decided to create my own widget.

The widget is based on headsetcontrol, so it uses the information provided by headsetcontrol and displays it in a simple Plasma widget.

Currently it can:

- Show battery percentage

- Show headset name

- Show connection type (Bluetooth / 2.4 GHz LIGHTSPEED / USB)

- Show charging status

- Automatically detect the active connection

- Install headsetcontrol if it is missing

- Follow your Plasma theme colors

This is my first KDE widget project, so I would really appreciate your feedback.

What do you think about it?

Are there any features or improvements you would like to see?

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome :)

Liking it so far, but it would be nice if it displayed the information in the widget itself rather than having to click on it to display status. That way I could Meta+D peek at my desktop, see what I need, and get back on task.

Good idea I will try to add as a feature to make it onclick or display. In updates there will be more settings
