Toggle System-wide mute to all Windows microphones with DualSense LED sync
"""
Toggle Microphone Mute (Windows)
Mutes/unmutes ALL active capture devices system-wide with a single hotkey.
Also syncs the DualSense controller's mic LED indicator (works over USB and Bluetooth).
Requirements:
pip install pycaw comtypes hid
Usage:
Bind to a hotkey using AutoHotkey, PowerToys, or similar.
pythonw toggle_mic_mute.pyw
Or can also compile to exe using PyInstaller
