Nuga library: reconstructing NuPhy BYK916 keyboard control
Nuga library implements Go control of BYK916 NuPhy keyboards through a reconstructed USB HID protocol. It reads and sets lighting effects and brightness, while its protocol notes map HID reports, response fields and custom per-key backlight colors.
