I can't adjust the brightness and it's killing my eyes
It does change the real backlight brightness, as it uses the DDC protocol. I was skeptical of it too at first, I only learned about it 5 years ago from DDC/CI specs when I started working on Lunar

Closing your MacBook hardware disconnects microphone, safety/privacy feature
In case you or anyone else needs to disable the MacBook screen and still use the mic, camera, keyboard, trackpad etc. I added a feature called BlackOut in my Lunar app that can do that (https://lunar.fyi/#blackout).
This allows "clamshell mode" without closing the lid. (although some people might want to close the lid for desk aesthetics, this feature is not for them)
On Apple Silicon with macOS Ventura the feature can really disconnect the screen by Command-clicking the power button: https://shots.panaitiu.com/x52NJxpR
There's also a write-up on how I reverse engineered this feature: https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/turn-off-macbook-display-clams...
On older systems, BlackOut mimics a disconnect by setting the screen to 0 brightness and mirroring it to avoid windows getting trapped there.

A Keypad to Control My Entire Desk Setup
Maybe try my Lunar app (https://lunar.fyi/) if you’re on macOS. It can switch inputs using DDC if the monitor implements the VCP code for it, and it can assign a hotkey and a specific brightness/contrast for the input if needed: https://lunar.fyi/static/img/input-key/768_input-key.webp
For Linux, there’s ddcutil that can do that, and for Windows there’s TwinkleTray.

Firefox Android now supports tampermonkey
Second that, I love Frida! I recently wrote about how I used it to reverse engineer the MacBook’s clamshell mode, and add it in Lunar (https://lunar.fyi)
There’s a few extra steps in allowing Frida to work on macOS so leaving that here in case others might be interested in how to do it: https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/turn-off-macbook-display-clams...
