[FEATURE] Access to new boost option about razer-laptop-control HOT 5 CLOSED

right so basically you'll need to install USBPCAP in windows, unplug everything USB related from your device, turn OFF RGB effects in synapse, then begin doing a series of captures.

for each capture, go to synapse and change a setting (say enable or disable boost mode) about 5 times. then stop capturing and label th packet capture file as to what you did

do this many times for each new feature (for example the CPU boost seems to be a slider), so have one capture with moving it from the lowest setting to the next setting and back again and again

then throw all those into a zip and upload them here so I can take a look as well

If I know how to capture packets I can implement in other tree and make pull request

One interesting fact I have found is that if I use virtual machine to record packets and than turn it off, light effect programmed in Razer Synapse will stick, and keyboard will continue to animate by itself even after reboot, but power option is back to default - balanced. If I force remove USB device from virtual machine - effect will not play and will stick to color it is currently set, but power option will remain until I reboot.

here capture of the two custom sliders in Synapse
CPU - low->medium->high->boost
GPU - low->medium->high

Actually this is incomplete, custom mode is 0x04.

            buffer[5] = 0x03;
            buffer[6] = 0x0d;
            buffer[7] = 0x87;
            buffer[8] = 0x00;
            buffer[9] = 0x02;
            buffer[10] = 0x00;
            buffer[11] = 0x00;
            send_payload(laptop->usb_dev, buffer, 3400, 3800);

            buffer[5] = 0x03;
            buffer[6] = 0x0d;
            buffer[7] = 0x07;
            buffer[8] = 0x00;
            buffer[9] = 0x02;
            buffer[10] = 0x02;
            buffer[11] = 0x00;
            send_payload(laptop->usb_dev, buffer, 3400, 3800);

I don't know why you have to call it with byte 7 set once on 0x87 and one time 0x07 - maybe 0x80 is clear/set bit ? This is for GPU boost. So basically I have made it work. Now it have to be added custom mode - 4 and set cpu boost/gpu boost. Both in driver and in daemon/cli.
