A usbmon capture of G HUB's bring-up (receiver passed to a Win11 VM) showed the root cause of the dead F-row/media keys AND the F4 blackout: the RGB SW-control claim switched the keyboard to host mode (ONBOARD_PROFILES 0x10 0x02). On the G915 TKL host mode disables the F-row/media keys (#1100), and the host-mode transition made the firmware re-assert the M/MR indicator (overlaid on F1-F4 on this keyless model) over the per-key colours. G HUB drives the LEDs from onboard mode via the RGB SetSWControl claim alone, never switching. Gated by modelId in device_quirks.py so no other device changes: - rgb_claim_keeps_onboard_mode(): _claim_sw_control skips the onboard-> host switch for listed models -> F-keys/media keys work and the power-on F4 blackout is gone, with no timer and no G-key divert. - rgb_repaint_on_profile_change(): re-assert + repaint on a reported profile change so an accidental switch doesn't strand the scheme. Documented residual (cannot be fixed without breaking the keys): F1-F4 are the M1/M2/M3/MR indicator zones on the TKL. The firmware re-asserts the active-profile indicator on them on profile switch and after idle, so those keys can show the indicator instead of the user colour. Claiming that subsystem (G-key divert) would stop it but disables the F-row/media keys, so onboard mode + working keys is the chosen trade-off.
