I think your keyboard (0b05:1837)is a USB_DEVICE_ID_ASUSTEK_ROG_KEYBOARD2. I also have a ROG laptop (GL553VD) whose keyboard (0b05:1854) is being identified as USB_DEVICE_ID_ASUSTEK_ROG_KEYBOARD1. Its keyboard backlight shortcuts are enabled only after applying the following patch. I am wondering why this harmless one liner did not find its way into the modules tree. It's difficult to apply the patch to every keep up with the latest. Maybe other ASUS people confirm this and help pushing it further.. Kind Regards...
