# YenKeyControl: decoding the Yenkee YKB3700 Rogue keyboard protocol

> YenKeyControl reconstructs the Yenkee YKB3700 Rogue keyboard's USB HID configuration protocol and implements Python commands for RGB effects, per-key colors and key remapping. Its protocol notes specify packet layouts, command values, checksums and sequencing derived from captured USB traffic and parameter tests.
