I second this, the same controller as OP but on a dell G15 Ryzen edition. None of the tests are successful, same as OP.

Dell G5SE uses different interface version (34-bytes commands), seems like it not supported here yet.

@trackmastersteve, thanks for PID list, you can also check my AlienFX tools project - i have all commands and a few masks for most AW versions (9 bytes 8-bit, 9 bytes 4 bit, 12-bytes 8 bit, 34 bytes 8 bit, 64 bytes 8 bit - per-key RGB). Feel free to use it.
