# clevo-wmi-rgb: reconstructing Clevo keyboard backlight control

> clevo-wmi-rgb documents the WMI commands used to control keyboard backlighting on a Colorful X15 AT23 laptop with a Clevo NP50SNE chassis. Its protocol notes describe CLEVO_GET.SetKBLED color packing, zone values, power and brightness commands; PowerShell scripts probe the interface and register its WMI class.
