Could you build this?

Partial The CLI or daemon interface is simple, but communicating with proprietary keyboard RGB hardware on Linux requires reverse engineering ACPI/WMI methods or raw HID USB protocols specific to HP OMEN firmware.

What it would actually take: The core tool requires interacting with `/sys/bus/wmi/devices` or sending raw USB HID feature reports via `hidraw` to undocumented HP hardware endpoints. The hard part is reverse engineering the vendor-specific ACPI/WMI command sequences or USB packet captures from the Windows OMEN Gaming Hub app using Wireshark and decompiled ACPI DSDT tables.
