LED Control on both 0x8070 (COLOR_LED_EFFECTS) and 0x8071 (RGB_EFFECTS) features is a ChoicesValidator with exactly two values, Device=0 and Solaar=1 — semantically a binary toggle dressed up as a dropdown. Render both as a Gtk.Switch (Solaar=on, Device=off) by swapping ChoicesValidator for BooleanValidator with true_value=1 / false_value=0. BooleanValidator's kind is TOGGLE, which the existing config_panel dispatcher already maps to ToggleControl (Gtk.Switch). No UI plumbing changes required. Add a small _pre_read override to migrate persister entries from the old ChoicesValidator (stored as int 0/1) to bool, so the switch widget gets a value it can pass to Gtk.Switch.set_state(). Tooltip cleanup to match the new styling: - "Switch control of LED zones between device and Solaar" → "Allow Solaar to control LED zones." on both control rows. - "LED Control needs to be set to Solaar to be effective." → "LED Control needs to be enabled." on every dependent setting's tooltip. Setting names (led_control / rgb_control) and persister keys are unchanged; only the YAML value type migrates from int to bool on the next read. |

Solaar
Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices that connect wirelessly to a Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receiver as well as many Logitech devices that connect via a USB cable or Bluetooth. Solaar is not a device driver and responds only to special messages from devices that are otherwise ignored by the Linux input system.
