Gigabyte M27Q Settings Controller

This Python library allows you to control the Gigabyte M27Q settings via USB. Feel free to contribute further settings.

The initial implementation was based on this gist.

On Linux you might be required to create a udev rule in, e.g. /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules to allow USB traffic to the monitor with:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2109", ATTR{idProduct}=="8883", MODE="0666".

Example

This is a simple script to simulate the KVM switch button

from m27q import MonitorControl


with MonitorControl() as m:
    m.toggle_kvm()

m27q's Issues

Ways to switch inputs?

Another question - not an issue really.

On my monitor, I have a displayport and hdmi connected (not using USB-C or the KVM switch... since it seems to only work with the USB-C). If I attached a USB-C cord to run a script like this, could I modify the script to tell the monitor to switch inputs between the Displayport and HDMI?

My old BenQ monitor had a DDC/CI capabilities that allowed me to do this... which I really miss...

A Question Rather Than An Issue

First off, thanks for writing this. The placement of the KVM button on the monitor is quite awkward for my setup (left is my Macbook on a stand, middle is the monitor, right is another monitor propped up vertically and lined up on the monitor). Accessing the button would require me to constantly move the right monitor and I was looking for a remote (either a wired hardware or what) as a solution and came across your code.

Question though, upon reading you mentioned that its controlled via USB. If my Macbook is connected via the Thunderbolt port and my desktop is connected via USB-B type then any of the machines can trigger the "switch"?

But what if I want to connect a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino so that I have an accessible button on my desk, would any of the USB ports (aside from the USB C and USB-B) work? Or did you only mean "via upstream USB" ports?

Q: control multiple m27q monitors

Created a Github account just to comment on this, so if I'm leaving this in the wrong area I do apologize. I have been searching for a way to select the input on my 3 m27q monitors independently from my Windows machine for quite some time. As you probably already know, the OSD Sidekick app will only control one monitor. Would this even be possible? I'm by no means a coder.
