Hi @zacmks, how do you get the unlock bios? The thunderbolt port doesn't work for me with this laptop and your EFI files.

Awesome. Were you able to figure out how to use the brightness up/down fn keys?

Would it be possible to remap it to F3 and F4 through DSDT? I found out this is a usb keyboard. The VoodooPS2 remap wouldn't work. Also how do you get sleep work? Does it has to be close lid or sleep manually?

I'd suggest:

Karabiner-Elements

A powerful and stable keyboard customizer for macOS.

karabiner-elements.pqrs.org

Also, you won't be able to remap to most of FN keys (they need a specific driver and don't work).
If you know how to develop a USB keyboard driver, it'd be really helpful (I have this done on Linux, but don't know macOS specifics).

Great. Yes, I'm using this app to customize the keys. (I also swap L-alt and L-command)

For sleep, how do you get it work in Catalina and High Sierra? (I had to boot High Sierra with Nvidia card for my work.) Also, it seems the HDMI output has broken picture with Nvidia card in High Sierra.

Anyone had luck booting Big Sur beta?

Also, In Catalina I'm having Kernel Panic with NvmeFix v1.0.4, rolling back to version 1.0.2 works fine.

I haven't tried Big Sur yet.

In regards of NVMeFix kext, it's working fine here, with the Toshiba thnsn5512gpu7 drive
