RGB keyboard works? Yes

Turbo button turn on fans? No

I have found a behavior on my Nitro 5 where whenever I increase the keyboard's brightness, it also calls the display's decrease brightness button.

When I adjust the display brightness to normal, the display's decrease brightness button cease to function. this was tested on Gnome and KDE, X11 and Wayland on vanilla ArchLinux. this issue persist until the next boot of the system, until the button is pressed again that is.

nothing appeared on terminal nor systemd log. this issue has long existed even before my merge request on #74.
