    curious how this interfaces with the keyboard controller. most backlit keyboards use proprietary protocols, did you find a common one that works across brands or is this brand-specific. the website down blink idea is fun but pretty niche, most people would just use push notifications honestly

      I am not sure about whether the project is brand-specific or not, however I worked on first try on a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming Laptop running Fedora. Though, my device doesn't support RGB, so I am unable to test if RGB works or not. Speaking of different brands, I think it the package will work wherever there's a backlit keyboard with operating system as Linux. I don't have a Macbook, so I don't know how to do the same for Mac.
