someone on reddit pointed me here saying it should work on 5520 despite there being no mention of it working on 5520 in the documentation

yeah it would work i just needed a tester

#!/bin/bash

c(){ echo "$1" | sudo tee /proc/acpi/call >/dev/null && sudo cat /proc/acpi/call;echo;}

for mode in 0xa{0..9} 0xa{a..b}
do
    echo "Trying mode ${mode}"
    echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {0x01, ${mode}, 0x00, 0x00}"
    c "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {0x01, ${mode}, 0x00, 0x00}"
done
echo "Reverting to balanced."
c "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {0x01, 0xa0, 0x00, 0x00}"

send the output of this

and tell if ur keyboard is per key rbg or single zone or 4 zone
