# AUKEY KM-G15 RGB Control: decoding keyboard USB HID commands

> AUKEY KM-G15 RGB Control reconstructs the keyboard's USB HID lighting protocol and supplies a Go command-line client. Its protocol notes define 64-byte SET_REPORT packets, a checksum and START–command–END transactions; the client changes lighting modes, brightness, profiles and polling rate.
