Can you help with implementing or testing the changes needed for liquidctl to support this device?

testing changes on Linux, attempting to capture USB/HID traffic

It might be worth testing the insertion of this single line to the msi.py driver, in _MATCHES list (around line 320):

(0x0DB0, 0xb130, "MSI MPG Coreliquid K240", {"fan_count": 5}),

[sarzeaud]

Built my own driver for this, available here: https://github.com/sarzeaud/coreliquid_driver Must be easy to adapt to your exact needs.

Thanks, I'll try it out later

Before testing, do not forget to update the product ID on line 156 of my_msi_driver.c. You should put 0xb130 (MPG K240 version) instead of 0x6a05 (MEG S360 version). Some other adjustments may be needed if the message protocol is not the same. See here for MEG S360 protocol: https://github.com/liquidctl/liquidctl/blob/main/docs/developer/protocol/coreliquid.md

We'll no longer taking new device requests. Instead, please see how you can help add support for that device and contribute your changes back to the project.
