Kernel 5.11 and support for Asus gaming laptop keyboard

i saw that the 5.11 kernel has support for the Fn keys,backlight and more(fans too?).
can anyone confirm?
do i have to do something in order to take advantage of that,like installing a driver?
is there a GUI for controlling those functions or does it resembles to what’s shown here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/laptops/asus-laptop.html
(this is from 2009,where can i find a recent up to date documentation?)

I don’t know if Tuf Controller will work for you. You can try that GUI to control it and see if it works.

I have an FX505DT-HN657 which came out in 2019, i think.

Have to sudo the app to work though.
