It should be fairly straightforward to write a macro that saves the current RGB settings into a file on the CIRCUITPY drive, and modify code.py to load them at boot time. This would let you persist them across restarts without needing to edit code.py yourself.

MacOS 9 doesn't know what to do with this thing.

It sees it as a USB HID and attaches the generic HID driver, which does nothing.

By making it a boot keyboard, I am able to get the HIDKeyboardDriver to attach to it, but it still doesn't register keystrokes.

I suspect this has something to do with the CircuitPython HID keyboard class implementing both IN and OUT endpoints; every keyboard I've tried that works with MacOS 9 has only an IN endpoint.

Next step would be to set aside the entire firmware and try a minimal CircuitPython USB HID example that builds a keyboard manually from the documented Report Descriptor and sends a repeating test pattern or something, to see what is required to get keystrokes to register.

Unsure if it will be better to listen to OS events to update these, or to update them directly when the keys are pressed.

This will likely require modifications in the keyboard module.
