What happened?

If I press the brightness keys on my keyboard, they only apply to the barrier server machine, they are not passed to the client device.
Note, I'm using a typical USB mechanical keyboard with QMK firmware (how I added the brightness keys), the brightness controls are therefore definitely software. Specifically, I'm using a DZ65RGB.

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

Server: Installed from Github release.
Client OS 1: Installed from Github release.
Client OS 2: Arch Linux (up to date), installed from Arch repos.
The client is a single laptop under a dual boot.

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Linux, Windows

What OS versions are you using?

Server: Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (19044.1566)
Client OS 1: Windows 11 Home 21H2 (22000.493)
Client OS 2: Arch Linux (up to date). Using linux-zen kernel, if that somehow matters.
The client is a single laptop under a dual boot.

Relevant log output

No log output, I believe Barrier simply doesn't detect the brightness inputs.

Any other information

No response
