Every model has its own device identity, firmware scope, fixtures, and safety checks.

Use only with this model and firmwareDo not send these commands to another model. OpenBlade uses typed code and reviewed fixtures, not a public raw-command API.

Feature-report envelope

OffsetMeaningValidation
0Status: request 00, successful response 02.Reject every non-success response status.
1Transaction identifier.Response must match the request transaction.
5Payload length, maximum 80 bytes.Validate bounds and exact command-specific length.
6–7Command class and command ID.Both must match the request.
8–87Payload and zero-filled remainder.Apply a command-specific payload decoder.
88XOR checksum of bytes 2–87.Reject a checksum mismatch.
89Reserved trailing byte.The protocol report remains exactly 90 bytes; Windows feature I/O includes its report ID separately.

Read-only queries

FeatureClass/IDRequest payloadDecoded response
Thermal state, channels 1/20D/8201 CC 00 00Recognized automatic or manual state; both channel responses must agree.

Custom CPU/GPU level0D/8701 DD 0001 DD LL, where the recognized level is Low, Medium, or High.
Battery protection/limit07/920050 off; B2/B7/BC/C1/C6/CB/D0 for 50–80%.
Temporary full charge07/8F0000 inactive; 04 active. Other one-byte values are rejected.

Keyboard brightness03/8301 05 0001 05 BB, raw brightness 0–255.
Logo state/effect03/80, 03/8201 04 0001 04 VV; state is disabled/enabled and effect is Static/Breathing.

Gaming mode00/8800 00 00 0000 00 00 00 off; 01 00 00 00 on.

CC is the channel, SS is the fan selector, DD is the performance domain, LL is the level, BB is a brightness byte, and VV is a command-specific value.

Battery limit07/12One value: B2, B7, BC, C1, C6, CB, or D0.Same one-byte value.Exact readback through 07/92.
Battery protection off07/125050Exact readback through 07/92.
Temporary full charge07/0F04 enable; 00 cancel.Same one-byte value.Read through 07/8F; unplug restoration policy is enforced separately.
Performance, channels 1/20D/0201 CC MM 00; admitted modes include Balanced, Silent, Performance, Battery Saver, Battery Balanced, and Custom.Same four-byte channel payload.Both thermal channels must return the same recognized state.
Custom CPU/GPU level0D/0701 DD LL; domain and level are typed and constrained.Same three-byte domain payload.Read back each domain; CPU High + GPU High is rejected.
Manual fan state0D/0201 CC 00 01 on both channels.Same four-byte channel payload.Firmware exposes only a generic manual state.
Fan target0D/0101 CC RR; RPM is RR × 100, bounded 2,000–5,400.Same three-byte channel payload.Generic manual-state readback plus safe telemetry; subtype is retained by OpenBlade.

Gaming mode00/0801 00 00 00 on; zeros off.32 0A 00 00 for both admitted actions.Catalogued as an explicit one-shot action; a separate 00/88 getter is admitted.

Lighting effects

Supported effects are Off, Static, Spectrum Cycling, Breathing, Reactive, Ripple, Tidal, Starlight, Wave, Wheel, and Ambient Awareness. OpenBlade converts each effect into validated matrix frames. It does not expose raw frames through IPC. Animated effects run in the service.

Admission meaning

Admitted means a command has reviewed evidence and code checks for this exact model and firmware. It does not make the command safe for other models or firmware versions.

Normal setters require capture, decoding, application, readback, and restoration. One-shot actions must record their response, declare oneShotOnly, and pass restoration even when direct readback is unavailable.
