Admitted setters

Family	Class/ID	Sanitized request shape	Accepted response payload	Admission notes
Performance	`0D/02`, `0D/07`	`01 CC MM 00` thermal state and `01 DD LL` custom level; domains, modes, and levels are typed.	Same channel or domain payload.	Full-power AC admits Balanced, Silent, Performance, and Custom. Battery admits Battery Saver and Battery Balanced. USB-C remains read-only. Both thermal channels and each Custom domain must match.
GPU clock tuning	NVIDIA API	Core -1,000 to +400 MHz and memory -1,000 to +3,000 MHz, limited again by the installed driver.	Confirmed core and memory offsets.	Available on full-power AC in every admitted AC mode and during HyperBoost. OpenBlade confirms the applied offsets and restores the previous values after a failed change.
Cooling	`0D/02`, `0D/01`	Typed automatic/manual state and `01 CC RR` fan targets from 2,000 to 5,000 RPM.	Same channel payload.	Read back mode and both RPM channels; targets are bounded to this model's maximum.
Battery care	`07/12`, `07/0F`	Protection off, a 50-80% limit, or temporary full charge.	Same one-byte value.	Read back through `07/92` or `07/8F`; each validation restores the prior confirmed state.
Keyboard and logo	`03/03`, `03/00`, `03/02`, `0F/18`, `02/06`, `00/08`, `00/04`	Typed brightness, logo, startup, function-key, Gaming Mode, and device-mode values.	Same typed payload or the admitted one-shot response.	Read back each durable state independently. Function-key setters use this model's selector-free payload.
Keyboard matrix frame	`03/0B`, `03/0A`	Six typed rows across 17 logical columns, followed by a latch.	Validated status, transaction, class, ID, length, and checksum envelope.	PID `02C6` uses 90-byte protocol reports and has no 375-byte feature collection.
HyperBoost	Reviewed capture	Exact captured per-channel entry and restoration pairs for Silent, Balanced, Performance, and Custom. The bytes remain in the reviewed fixtures.	Both channels must confirm HyperBoost and the restored starting mode.	Requires full-power AC. A fresh pad check selects either the supported cooling-pad path or the admitted padless path. Entry is direct from the current AC mode. Exit restores that mode, saved fan intent, Custom CPU/GPU levels when applicable, and confirmed GPU offsets. An indeterminate write is never retried.

Input and lighting behavior

Area	Supported behavior	Boundary
Keyboard effects	Off, Ambient Awareness, Audio Meter, Breathing, Fire, Reactive, Ripple, Spectrum Cycling, Starlight, Static, Tidal, Wave, and Wheel, plus an imported sequence.	Effect parameters, the complete spatial key map, and native effect or matrix readback remain separately gated. An imported sequence uses this model's own verified logical-key projection and is admitted only for a known keyboard layout.
Animation frame rate	30 Hz.	The opt-in 60 Hz rate is admitted only on the Razer Blade 16 (2026) transport.
Windows Dynamic Lighting	OpenBlade can delegate the 85-lamp keyboard LampArray to Windows.	Delegation stops OpenBlade keyboard lighting writes. The lid logo remains independent.
Special-key bindings	M1 through M5 are editable. M1 is Fn+Page Up and M2 is Fn+Page Down; M3 through M5 use exact function reports. Fn+P cycles the modes available for the current power source.	OpenBlade combines the exact PID `02C6` Fn state with the Page Up, Page Down, or P key edge. It suppresses the ordinary M1 or M2 key only while a custom binding owns that slot.
Display brightness	The native Windows brightness flyout can use the exact signed PID `02C6` Razer driver stack when it is installed.	The runtime checks the interface ancestry, instance-ID prefix, service name, and pinned driver hash. OpenBlade uses WMI and its own flyout when the exact stack is absent. The ordinary installer does not install Razer drivers.
HDR and color	HDR uses a fresh Windows readback, including after an access-denied result.	The change is accepted only when readback matches; SDR color profiles are disabled while HDR is on.

Admission meaning

Status	Meaning	Required evidence
Supported	The feature is admitted for this exact model. Listed firmware versions record the tested configurations.	Reviewed evidence, typed validation, apply, readback, and restoration where the operation is reversible.
Observed only	The capability remains documented but cannot be changed by OpenBlade.	A separate backend and trustworthy readback are still required.
Unavailable	The UI may identify the model difference but does not offer a write.	No command is borrowed from another model and no ambiguous input is suppressed.

Admitted setters

Family	Class/ID	Sanitized request shape	Accepted response payload	Admission notes
Battery limit	`07/12`	One value: `B2`, `B7`, `BC`, `C1`, `C6`, `CB`, or `D0`.	Same one-byte value.	Exact readback through `07/92`.
Battery protection off	`07/12`	`50`	`50`	Exact readback through `07/92`.
Temporary full charge	`07/0F`	`04` enable; `00` cancel.	Same one-byte value.	Read through `07/8F`; unplug restoration policy is enforced separately.
Performance, channels 1/2	`0D/02`	`01 CC MM 00`; admitted modes include Balanced, Silent, Performance, Battery Saver, Battery Balanced, and Custom.	Same four-byte channel payload.	Both thermal channels must return the same recognized state.
Custom CPU/GPU level	`0D/07`	`01 DD LL`; domain and level are typed and constrained.	Same three-byte domain payload.	Read back each domain; CPU High + GPU High is rejected.
GPU clock tuning	NVIDIA API	Core -1,000 to +400 MHz and memory -1,000 to +3,000 MHz, limited again by the installed driver.	Confirmed core and memory offsets.	Available on AC in every admitted mode and during HyperBoost. Confirmed offsets remain in place after HyperBoost exits or recovers.
Manual fan state	`0D/02`	`01 CC 00 01` on both channels.	Same four-byte channel payload.	Firmware exposes only a generic manual state.
Fan target	`0D/01`	`01 CC RR`; RPM is `RR × 100`, bounded from 2,000 to 5,400.	Same three-byte channel payload.	Firmware reports a generic manual state. OpenBlade retains the subtype and checks safe telemetry.
Keyboard brightness	`03/03`	`01 05 BB`.	Same three-byte payload.	Arbitrary setters support exact readback through `03/83`. The function-key fast path instead validates the same-transaction setter response without a separate readback.
Keyboard matrix frame	`03/0B`	Typed 102-slot matrix in a dedicated 375-byte feature report.	Validated status, transaction, class, ID, length, and checksum envelope.	Renderer ownership is required; animated effects require continuous frames.
Logo effect/state	`03/02`, `03/00`	`01 04 VV` for persistent logo LED 4.	Same three-byte state or effect payload.	Read back state and effect independently.
Startup animation	`0F/18`	`00 00` on; `00 01` off.	Same two-byte payload.	Recorded as a one-shot action; a separate `0F/98` getter is admitted.
Function-key primary mode	`02/06`	`01 00` function; `01 01` multimedia.	Same two-byte payload.	Recorded as a one-shot action; a separate `02/86` getter is admitted.
Gaming mode	`00/08`	`01 00 00 00` on; zeros off.	`32 0A 00 00` for both admitted actions.	Recorded as a one-shot action; a separate `00/88` getter is admitted.
Microphone mute indicator	`18/04`	`00 02 01` red; `00 02 00` off.	Same three-byte payload.	Recorded as a one-shot action. Windows microphone state is the source of truth; no firmware getter was observed.
HyperBoost	Reviewed capture	Exact captured per-channel entry and restoration pairs for Silent, Balanced, Performance, and Custom. The bytes remain in the reviewed fixtures.	Both channels must confirm HyperBoost and the restored starting mode.	Captured on BIOS `4.00` and admitted only for RZ09-0581. Full-power AC and a fresh pad check are required; either the supported cooling-pad path or the admitted padless path may be used. Entry is direct from the current mode. Exit restores that mode, saved fan intent, Custom CPU/GPU levels when applicable, and confirmed GPU offsets. An indeterminate write is never retried, and a journal changed during restoration is preserved.

Input and lighting behavior

Area	Supported behavior	Boundary
Keyboard effects	Off, Static, Spectrum Cycling, Breathing, Reactive, Ripple, Tidal, Starlight, Wave, Wheel, Ambient Awareness, and Audio Meter, plus an imported sequence.	OpenBlade converts effects into validated matrix frames. Raw frames are not exposed through IPC; animated effects run in the service. An imported sequence is admitted only for a known keyboard layout, and only within capabilities already admitted for this model.
Animation frame rate	30 Hz by default, with an opt-in 60 Hz choice for the built-in animations, Ambient Awareness, and Audio Meter.	The service holds the selection, which survives a tray exit. Only these two rates are admitted.
Speaker mute indicator	Matrix slot 2 renders red while Windows playback is muted.	Rendered through the admitted matrix frame rather than a separate command. Windows playback state is the source of truth; no firmware getter was observed.
Brightness keys	Each Synapse-handled F10 or F11 press emitted one `03/03` setter. Raw brightness changed by `0x10` per press, 6 to 14 milliseconds after the key event.	This fast path validates the same-transaction setter response. Arbitrary brightness setters still use independent `03/83` readback.
Brightness fast path	No preliminary query, separate readback, or full effect reapplication was observed for a key press.	The behavior applies only to the brightness keys.
Display brightness	Display brightness and the native Windows flyout can be driven through one exact, hardware-validated Razer driver tuple, separate from the 90-byte protocol above.	Pinned to that exact interface, instance-ID prefix, service name, and driver hash. Razer updates or another Blade model must be admitted independently. OpenBlade falls back to the Windows WMI path and its own flyout when the tuple is absent.

Admission meaning

Status	Meaning	Required evidence
Admitted	The command has reviewed evidence and code checks for this exact model. Listed firmware versions record the tested configurations.	Capture, decoding, application, readback, and restoration for normal setters.
One-shot action	A separate getter was unavailable or the action is not represented as durable state.	Record the response, declare `oneShotOnly`, and pass restoration.
Other models	The same-looking command is not assumed to be safe elsewhere.	Independent exact-device evidence and admission.

Read-only queries

Feature	Class/ID	Request payload	Decoded response
Performance / fan state	`0D/82`	`00 SS 00 00`; selectors 1/2.	Exactly four bytes. Selectors must match; modes and fan flags must agree. Balanced (0), Performance (2), Custom (4), Silent (5), or observed-only HyperBoost (7). Fan flag 0 is Automatic; 1 is manual. Unknown values are rejected.
Custom CPU/GPU	`0D/87`	`00 DD 00`; CPU 1, GPU 2.	Exactly three bytes with a matching domain. CPU levels 0–3 and GPU levels 0–2; CPU 3 is Boost. High/High is representable.
Fixed fan targets	`0D/81`	`00 ZZ 00`; zones 1/2.	Exactly three bytes with a matching zone. Both stored targets must be 2,000–5,000 RPM in 100 RPM steps. They are not tachometer readings.
Max Fan	`07/8F`	`00`	One shared Power Mode Control byte: bit `02` is Max Fan; only defined bits `01/02/04/08` decode. Unknown bits or lengths are rejected.
Battery protection	`07/92`	`00`	Exactly one byte. High bit is protection; low seven bits are threshold. Enabled 50–99% is protected; disabled or 100% is effectively off. Raw off state is retained.
Keyboard brightness/effect	`03/83`, `0F/82`	`01 05 00`	Brightness is raw 0–255. Effects are Off, random Breathing, Spectrum, or Wave with one admitted direction. Unknown parameters are rejected.
Logo	`03/80`, `03/82`	`01 04 00`	Decode Off/on and Static/Breathing. Unknown values are rejected; Off hides the stored effect.

Admitted setters

Family	Class/ID	Sanitized request shape	Accepted response payload	Admission notes
Experimental authority	Reviewed upstream-derived backend	Automatically available for this exact recognized profile.	No physical-validation claim.	These are experimental setters; the heading is shared with validated model references. OpenBlade capture fixtures and physical restoration evidence are unavailable.
Performance	`0D/02`	`01 SS MM 00`, selectors 1/2; Balanced 0, Performance 2, Custom 4, Silent 5.	Exact four-byte echo, then independent `0D/82` reads.	Fresh external power is required. Mode selection writes Automatic fans; set fixed targets separately. Both channels must confirm the result.
Custom levels	`0D/07`	`01 DD LL`, CPU 1/GPU 2; CPU 0–3 and GPU 0–2.	Exact three-byte echo, then independent reads of both domains and final thermal state.	CPU Boost and High/High are admitted. An admitted Fixed baseline retains its fan flag and stored targets, including during Custom entry. Unknown levels fail closed.
Fixed fan targets	`0D/02`, `0D/01`	Preserve mode with fan flag 1, then `01 ZZ RR` for each zone; target RPM divided by 100.	Exact echoes, independent fan-mode readback, and both stored target reads.	2,000–5,000 RPM in 100 RPM steps. The starting targets and ordinary mode must be representable; no temperature curves.
Max Fan	`07/0F`	`02` on; `00` off.	Exact one-byte echo, then independent `07/8F` readback.	A Custom setting requiring Automatic fan mode; a Fixed baseline rejects before writes. A fresh `07/8F` guard blocks changing Max Fan while CPU boost, temporary full charge, or local dimming bits are on.
Battery protection	`07/12`	`50` off; protection bit plus threshold 50–99. Selecting 100% sends off.	Exact one-byte echo, then independent `07/92` readback.	All 50–100% values are present in the pinned upstream tests. A stale valid GET may be retried for up to two seconds; the setter is never replayed.
Keyboard built-ins	`03/03`, `0F/02`	Typed brightness and Off/Breathing/Spectrum/Wave payloads.	Brightness uses exact echo and readback. Built-in effects require a matching envelope and independent effect readback.	Only random Breathing and fixed Rightward Wave are admitted.
Uniform Static or host frame	`03/0B`, `03/0A`	Six rows: `FF RR 00 0F` plus 16 RGB cells; latch `05 00`.	Matching successful envelopes only; no RGB frame getter.	The same color fills all 6×16 cells. Ambient Awareness samples a 1×1 screen color; Audio Meter uses audio-peak intensity. A separate typed request sends that uniform color without a physical key map. Save a readable built-in baseline first; restoration returns to that effect and confirms it through `0F/82`. Standby or idle fade can discard Static; every explicit Static application repaints all rows.
Logo	`03/02`, `03/00`	Typed `01 04 VV` effect and on/off payloads.	Exact echo and independent state/effect readback.	Off, Static, and Breathing only. Off hides the stored effect.
Failure and recovery	All setters	Fresh exact-host, interface, controller, session, current-state, and applicable power checks.	Possible submission without confirmation pauses further experimental writes.	No replay or alternative sequence. Resume drains the old session and performs fresh read-only checks. Lighting needs a new effective lighting choice after recovery.

Input and lighting behavior

Area	Supported behavior	Boundary
Input	Native Fn keys remain firmware-owned.	No experimental Driver-mode command, M-key mapping, or borrowed brightness-step sequence.
Lighting	Brightness, Off, Spectrum, random Breathing, fixed Rightward Wave, uniform Static, whole-keyboard Ambient Awareness and Audio Meter, and logo Off/Static/Breathing.	Uniform effects use volatile SET-only 6×16 frames. No per-key editor, imported animation, frame readback, or Windows Dynamic Lighting claim.
Cooling and power	Performance, Custom, fixed 2,000–5,000 RPM targets, and Max Fan on external power.	No fan curves, HyperBoost enable, or adapter-wattage classification. Windows/session features need separate model-specific evidence.

Admission meaning

Status	Meaning	Required evidence
Experimental	Implemented, bounded controls from pinned upstream evidence; active automatically for exact recognized models.	Physical application, independent readback on hardware, exact restoration, and lifecycle evidence are pending.
Observed only	Readable or reported state does not imply a setter.	HyperBoost can be read on the Blade 16 and Blade 18 but cannot be enabled. Unknown values remain diagnostics; no inferred command.

Performance	`0D/02`	`01 SS MM 00`, selectors 1/2; Balanced 0, Custom 4, Silent 5.	Exact four-byte echo, then independent `0D/82` reads.	Fresh external power is required. Mode selection writes Automatic fans; set fixed targets separately. Both channels must confirm the result.
Custom levels	`0D/07`	`01 DD LL`, CPU 1/GPU 2; Low/Medium/High.	Exact three-byte echo, then independent reads of both domains and final thermal state.	High/High and unknown levels fail closed.
Fixed fan targets	`0D/02`, `0D/01`	Preserve mode with fan flag 1, then `01 ZZ RR` for each zone; target RPM divided by 100.	Exact echoes, independent fan-mode readback, and both stored target reads.	2,200–5,000 RPM in 100 RPM steps. This range is an explicit model-specific extrapolation; no Max Fan or temperature curves.

Balanced (0), Silent (5), Performance (2), Custom (4), and observed-only HyperBoost (7). Fan flag 0 is Automatic; 1 is generic manual. Unknown values and unrepresentable Custom are rejected. The first payload byte is not used to establish mode.
Battery protection	`07/92`	`00`	Exactly one byte. High bit is protection; low seven bits are threshold. Enabled 50-99% is protected; disabled or 100% is effectively off. Unknown enabled thresholds are rejected and raw state retained.

Performance	`0D/02`	`01 SS MM 00`, selectors 1/2; Balanced 0, Silent 5, Performance 2, Custom 4.	Exact four-byte echo, then independent `0D/82` reads.	Fresh external power and confirmed Automatic fans are required. Mode selection also writes Automatic. No manual-fan restoration; saved fan intent is preserved. Both channels must confirm the result.
Battery protection	`07/12`	`50` off; protection bit plus threshold 50–99. Selecting 100% sends off.	Exact one-byte echo, then independent `07/92` readback.	Read starting state first and confirm the requested limit. Expanded 50–100% range is an experimental extrapolation; owner evidence covers 80% and off.
Custom levels	`0D/07`	`01 DD LL`, CPU 1/GPU 2; Low/Medium/High, excluding High/High.	Exact three-byte echo; independently query both domains after each changed level and final thermal state.	Experimental extrapolation. Read stored starting levels before entering Custom. Start from an ordinary preset or representable Custom; lower an existing High domain before raising the other. No Boost, Undervolt, or GPU offsets.
Max Fan	`07/0F`	`02` on; `00` off.	Exact one-byte echo, then independent `07/8F` readback.	A Custom setting. A fresh `07/8F` guard blocks changing Max Fan while CPU boost, temporary full charge, or local dimming bits are on. No fixed-RPM targets or temperature curves.
Keyboard brightness	`03/03`	`01 05 BB`; raw brightness 0-255.	Exact three-byte echo and independent raw readback through `03/83`.	Readable effect and representable starting brightness required. A non-Off effect rounding to 0% blocks writes. Percentage readback is not exact raw restoration evidence.
Keyboard effect	`0F/02`	`01 05 EE` for Off/Breathing/Spectrum; Wave adds direction byte 1.	Successful matching envelope; payload length 0–80, no echo required. Independent `0F/82` readback must confirm the effect.	Only random Breathing and Wave presented as Rightward. Physical direction remains unconfirmed. Static uses the uniform frame sequence below.
Uniform Static frame	`03/0B`, `03/0A`	Six rows: `FF RR 00 0F` plus 16 RGB cells; latch `05 00`.	Matching successful envelopes only; no RGB frame getter.	The same color fills all 6×16 cells. Save a readable built-in baseline first; restoration returns to that effect and confirms it through `0F/82`. Standby or idle fade can discard Static; every explicit Static application repaints all rows.
Logo	`03/02`, `03/00`	Typed `01 04 VV` for Static/Breathing effect and on/off state.	Exact three-byte echo; independent state/effect readback.	Off, Static, Breathing only. Off hides the stored effect, so displayed restoration cannot establish exact stored-state restoration.
Failure and recovery	All setters	Fresh exact-host, interface, controller, session, current-state, and applicable power checks.	Possible submission without confirmation pauses further experimental writes.	No replay or alternative sequence. Resume drains the old session and performs fresh read-only checks.
