Could you explain how this event gets interpreted by Gnome? |

Unfortunately, proper testing reveals that Linux does not currently handle this HID usage, so I am marking as draft. |

Currently, changing the keyboard backlight brightness via fn+space does not notify the OS in any way. Therefore, OS indicators like GNOME Shell's keyboard backlight slider will show the wrong values. This PR corrects this issue by emitting a "Keyboard Backlight Set Level" HID event on fn+space. Signed-off-by: Jules Bertholet <julesbertholet@quoi.xyz>

This would be really awesome, I think I tried that a few months ago and neither Windows nor Linux supported it :( |

(The backlight brightness is still changed directly in firmware, so functionality in e.g. firmware menu won’t be affected.)
