I will love to use it. Will all keyboards with linux compatibility work?

I guess so, I have tested in Fedora. As long as they expose a System API for increasing and decreasing brightness

I am not sure about whether the project is brand-specific or not, however I worked on first try on a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming Laptop running Fedora. Though, my device doesn't support RGB, so I am unable to test if RGB works or not. Speaking of different brands, I think it the package will work wherever there's a backlit keyboard with operating system as Linux. I don't have a Macbook, so I don't know how to do the same for Mac.

How was RGB tested, in that case?

This project requires on-device physical RGB testing, so something like RGB in CI/CD testing won't work.
