I have completely removed CKB and have a fully functioning keyboard, including media keys, besides being able to control colors. For the color I setup a static profile in Windows and saved it to the hardware. Used system presences to swap the command and option key to match the Mac Keyboard layout. And created Automator Serivces to handle any macros.
Has anyone tried creating a complete map for one of these keyboards yet? It looks like it is just XML but I haven't had time to mess with it. Here is the documentation for it in macOS Sierra: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2056/_index.html
