Data
array(0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00) (Toggle Mode - Default)
array(0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x3F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00) (Momentary Mode)

The main difference between a toggle mode and a momentary mode is that a toggle mode remains in the on or off position until it is manually switched to the opposite position, while a momentary mode only remains in the on position while it is being pressed or held down.

Code Example - Javascript, Node.js
const HID = require("node-hid"); // NPM module
let gear = new HID.HID(10571, 6408); //Connect to HID device with vendor and product ID
// This setup sets Button 1-3 & 7-9 to momentary mode and button 13 & 14 to have the LEDs always on
let byte2led1to8 = 00000000;  // <- LED 1-8 off
let byte3led9to14 = 00001100; // <- LED 9-12 off & LED 13-14 on
let byte4btn1to8 = 11100011;  // <- Button 1-3, 7-8 on & Button 4-6 off
let byte5btn9to14 = 10000000; // <- Button 9 on & Button 10-14 off
let byte6ledMode1to8 = byte2led1to8; // When you set an LED Light you have to set the
let byte7ledMode9to14 = byte3led9to14; // corresponding LED controller to the same value

gear.write([ // write to the gear
    0x05, // <- fixed value
    toHex(byte2led1to8), 
    toHex(byte3led9to14), 
    toHex(byte4btn1to8),
    toHex(byte5btn9to14),
    toHex(byte6ledMode1to8),
    toHex(byte7ledMode9to14),
    0x00, // <- fixed value
    0x00  // <- fixed value
]);
gear.close(); // close connection to reconnect if needed

function toHex(value) {
  return Number("0x" + parseInt(value, 2).toString(16)); // Converts the binary to hex in right format
}
