Could you build this?
Partial A config web app is easy to vibe-code, but the core is reverse engineering an undocumented USB HID protocol, which requires hardware probing and packet analysis that AI assistance can only partially support.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a WebHID or WebUSB front end and a protocol decoder. The hard part is capturing and decoding USB traffic from the physical X20 and mapping the KeyLinker command set safely. This needs the device, USB sniffing tools, and some embedded or reverse-engineering experience.
