It's not really hard at all, calculate the max power the leds will draw and get a psu that'll never exceed 90% of that. Your average usage will be waaay lower anyways since you don't usually show all white.
5v power supplies are easily available, Meanwell is a popular & reputable brand. The same psu can run your lights and microcontroller.
I'm also struggling with a macbook for work, but hold your mouse over the green circle in the top left for a few seconds and it'll pop up. (You don't get the nice snapping that windows does though)

This is the only way I could come up with that would allow an end user to do a full factory reset, and end up back in a known good secure state afterwards.
Storing it in the firmware would mean every user has the same key. Storing it in eeprom means a factory reset will clear it. This allows me to ship hardware with the default key on a sticker on the side, and let's a non technical user reset it back to that if they need to.

The return back to physical buttons makes the XPS look pretty appealing again.
