KBM TG700 Control: Linux keyboard settings from USB protocol analysis

KBM TG700 Control reconstructs the USB HID settings protocol of KBM! GAMING TG600 and TG700 keyboards from analysis of their Windows software. Its Linux GTK4 app sets lighting, macros and key mappings through hidraw, and the protocol document records report fields and command codes. Hardware testing is reported for the TG700.
