Do you think this might be made to work with other machines using the ite8295?

I have a Sager/Clevo X370SNW-G also known by many other names. It has a ite8295 that controls the per key RGB. Under Linux I can currently manipulate these in /sys/class/leds but in Windows I have no way to manipulate them, the official software from clevo does not work because the laptop is a System76 branded variant, meaning it has coreboot and an open source EC firmware.

True per key RGB or 4 zone? Because I can only try to do something for the latter while hoping the protocol used is independent of the manufacturer.

True RGB per key, but it also has zones. I'm in a weird place with it because my machine uses open source firmware except for that controller - the EC and bios are open and I probably need to reverse some of the LED stuff and share it back with System76 to see if it can help at all.

You could try and add your specific identifier to

L5P-Keyboard-RGB/driver/src/lib.rs

Line 14 in 7b19a1f

const KNOWN_DEVICE_INFOS: [(u16, u16, u16, u16); 11] = [

and see if that does anything, but I assume they'd have loaded a different firmware/programming.

Thank you for the suggestion; I'll take a look and see if I can. Right now I'm using modified kernel drivers for another clevo ODM's machines and their control center to change them - it's universal and not per key, but at least lets me manage things at the worst case.
