# hiska-keg450-lcd: reconstructing HISKA keyboard HID control

> hiska-keg450-lcd reconstructs Linux control of the HISKA HX-KEG450 keyboard from vendor HID traffic captured under Wine. Its Python client sends images, animation, lighting, settings, and clock commands through hidraw, while protocol notes specify report sizes, opcodes, acknowledgments, and upload sequences.
