Redragon K652: macOS control from driver and HID analysis

Redragon K652 macOS control reconstructs the keyboard's HID configuration protocol from decompilation of its Windows driver with REA and Ghidra. A SwiftUI app and k652ctl CLI use IOKit reports for wired lighting and key settings, while the protocol document ties fields to driver functions and records device observations. The tested model is the Azure K652GG-RGB-PRO.
