Cannot change keyboard RGB backlight color/mode on ASUS TUF A17 (FA706IU)

Kernel version: 6.1.4-arch1-1

I've verified that asus-wmi supports changing the keyboard backlight color/mode using the following command:

echo <cmd> <mode> <red> <green> <blue> <speed> > "/sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/kbd_rgb_mode"

  • red/green/blue range: 0-255
  • speed range: 0-2
  • cmd seems to accept any value

On this particular laptop, modes are:

  • 0 - static
  • 1 - "breathe" 1 color
  • 2 - cycle through all colors
  • 10 - pulse (does not seem to be affected by speed parameter)

Adding the following configuration to /etc/asusd/asusd-ledmodes.toml does not allow changing the keyboard RGB color/mode through rog-control-center.

[[led_data]]
prod_family = "ASUS TUF Gaming A17"
board_names = ["FA706IU"]
standard = ["Static", "Breathe", "Strobe", "Pulse"]
multizone = []
per_key = false

Instead, under the "Keyboard Aura" tab, this is all that shows up: image
