It's also supported by ZMK.

'595 is a shift register for controlling multiple outputs, unlike the '165 which is a shift register for reading multiple inputs, see https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/395870/what-are-the-differences-between-shift-register-ics#:~:text=The%2074HC165%20can%20be%20used,to%20just%20a%20few%20GPIO's.&text=For%20a%20newcomer%2C%20the%20main,%2Fparallel%20out%20(SIPO).
