Should this work with "SONiX GK630 Gaming Keyboard"?

Hi,
I bought this keyboard (SPC GK630K Tournament Kaihl Brown DE) and I was looking for a way to run the Window Software for configuring the keyboard on Linux. Or to find a Linux alternative to the software.
Somehow I ended up here.
I tried using your software but so fwar without success.
sudo mono GK6X.exe runs but no output is generated so I suspect my keyboard is simply not recognized.
The question though is - Should my keyboard even be recognized? I'm not sure if your software is the right thing for my keyboard.
Here is the output from dmesg when I connect the keyboard:

And thats the lsusb entry:

Should it work? Could you make it work? Can I help you test it?

Unfortunately not. They are using a 'GK' prefix in their product names, but are unrelated. The vendor/product id don't match up to the ones belonging to the GK6X brand.
But maybe their software works under Wine, or a VM.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer this!
So far I was not successful with Wine, the software starts flawlessly but unfortunately it doesn't discover the keyboard either. I'll try my luck with a VM next.
Merci!
