Context

gopen --writes-file g915x_open_writes_frida.txt --no-stop-lghub --quiet + gdaemon is the working manual recipe (vendetta achieved 2026-05-05), but it's two terminals and manual launch.

For daily set-and-forget use, this should be a single autostart service.

Goal

peripherals/scripts/g915x_service.py (or .ps1) that:

  1. On boot: kills G HUB cleanly (Stop-Service lghub* + Stop-Process)
  2. Replays the activation handshake (currently 437 writes; minimal subset after issue #27)
  3. Opens the HID++ event listener
  4. Dispatches G-key events to Windows VKs via SendInput
  5. Re-arms automatically if the keyboard is unplugged + replugged

Implementation options

  • Task Scheduler entry at logon. Easiest. Visible in Task Manager.
  • Windows service via NSSM or Win32 service wrapper. More invasive but cleaner.
  • Standalone tray app with a manual launch via Espanso/AHK shortcut. Lowest-friction install.

Done when

  • Single command to install (e.g. g915x_service.py --install)
  • Survives reboot — keyboard works without manually starting anything
  • Survives keyboard unplug/replug — re-runs activation
  • Easy uninstall (g915x_service.py --uninstall)
  • G HUB completely gone from the system (uninstalled, services disabled)

Prereq

Issue #27 (trim Frida replay) makes the activation phase faster + more robust.
Issue #28 (crack CRC) is not a prereq — the replay works without composing new bindings.
