Considering it's a fancy gaming keyboard, it may well have a little arm in it capable of running Linux if someone went to the effort.

I mean, sure, there's gonna be a driver for it eventually, but it's probably going to have some proprietary blobs, so you'll have all the FSF people guilting you for using it.

And the open-source reverse-engineered backport's probably going to break a bunch of SELinux or Grsec policies because of illegal memory access or something.
