A Linux app to change lighting on your Winbond based keyboards (ZET Gaming, FL Esports etc).
To install, you can try the precompiled binary in the releases page. Simply download and run!
Alternatively, you can compile the code from source.
Simply clone the repo, and run cargo build --release.
The target/release folder will contain the binary kb-colour.
I'd recommend dropping the binary in your /usr/bin/ folder so you can access it anywhere - rename it to whatever you'd like.
If this project receives any traction, I may maintain some package repositories for various Linux flavours.
To use the software, execute the ./kb-colour binary. A window will pop up with various options to control the lighting effects.
Select a lighting style to your choosing, and click "Apply" to active the new lighting effects.
I used USBPcap and Wireshark on a Windows VM to sniff outgoing packets from the original keyboard software. Changing a single keyboard lighting setting at a time allowed me to map out the instructive bytes of the keyboard, and hence replicate them.
I did this because the original software does not have native Linux or MacOS support.
