This project is my first foray into Rust, developed out of a necessity to configure my cherry keyboard on Linux, coupled with a keen interest in learning Rust. So this project is a basic implementation for setting the backlight color for the Cherry MX-LP 2.1 Compact Wireless keyboard.

The development process was guided by valuable resources that provided a foundation for understanding USB device interaction and application structure:

• "Reverse Engineering a USB Device with Rust" by Nirav Gill, offered insights into reverse engineering techniques and USB communication protocols.

• The g213_colours GitHub repository by Shahzad Naeem, demonstrated practical application of low-level keyboard configuration on Linux.

These resources were instrumental in overcoming initial challenges and served as a starting point for the project.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

• Rust: You can download Rust from the official website here.

To build the project, navigate to the project directory and run:

cargo build

To run the project, use:

cargo run

The following features are planned for future development:

• Read Out Current Keyboard Settings: Upon starting the application, the current keyboard settings will be read and displayed to the user.

• Show Lighting Color / Speed Scaler Based on Animation Availability: The application will display the lighting color and speed scaler, but this feature will only be available if configuration are supported by the animation.

• Keyboard Setting Section: A dedicated section will be added to the application's user interface for all keyboard-related settings.

• Individual Key Color Configuration: A feature will be implemented to allow users to set different colors for each key on the keyboard.
