Hello!
Have you also problems with 'fn' keys? I have Gigabyte P56XT laptop with Manjaro Linux installed and only few 'fn' buttons serves its purpose.
fn+f1 - sleep - working
fn+f2 - have no idea what is about - not working )
fn+(f3, f4) - screen brightness - not working
fn+f5 - switch monitor - working
fn+f6 - also have no idea what is it about - not working
fn+(f7-f9) - sound control - working
fn+f10 - touchpad lock - not working
fn+f11 - airplane mode - not working
fn+f12 - not defined

would you add support for these buttons?

All scripts I run are executed without errors, for example:

$ ./white.rb
Opening device 1:5:3...
Closing device

But it has absolutely no effect on the keyboard backlight, even if I run it with sudo or perform the complete setup process as root user. I have a AERO 15 YB and I noticed that my keyboard is device 005 and not 004 (Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1044:7a3b Chu Yuen Enterprise Co., Ltd USB-HID Keyboard), but this should not really matter for the code.

HI,
I tried your toolset but can't get it working I changed the product_id to 0x7a3b because this is the product for my Gigabyte Aero 15 keyboard.

But when trying to execute for example orange.rb I receive this nice message:

/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.0/gems/hidapi-0.1.9/lib/hidapi/engine.rb:137:in `get_device_by_path': Path should be in BUS:ADDRESS:INTERFACE format with each value being in hexadecimal (ie - 0001:01A:00), not 1:a:3. (HIDAPI::DevicePathInvalid)

Do you have an idea how to solve this? Usually I could just hit fn+space to make work for keyboard backlight but somehow this stopped working so I tried your code.

Hello !
I'm very grateful for your work.

I tried to run your program on my computer (Aero Classic 15), but it seems the keyboard is not the same :/

When I run :

$ ruby built_in_example.rb 
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from built_in_example.rb:7:in `<main>'
/home/hugues/Téléchargements/aero-keyboard-master/keyboard.rb:12:in `open': The keyboard could not be found (RuntimeError)

The lsusb output :

Is there any chance for this to work on my laptop ?
Thanks in advance
