I feel like an idiot right now but I just realized something: So far
I've been assuming that the button I've been calling the "Turbo
Button" worked the same way on both Nitro and Predator laptops, but
that's not the case.

On Predator laptops, the button directly enables Turbo mode but on the
Nitro it only opens the Nitro Sense app. I had assumed that both
buttons simply opened the app and that directly enabling Turbo mode
was a feature provided by the Linux driver.

Given this, the ACPI code that you linked earlier is probably for the
Predator's "Turbo Button". Could it be that the button on my laptop
doesn’t use that ACPI code at all, considering its functionality is
completely different? (Though i doubt Acer would leave it in if it
wasn't being used)
