Turning on the keyboard light not only gives your laptop an aesthetic look but also helps to spot keys clearly in a low-light condition.
The backlight feature has been on the market for quite a while but, users still have trouble turning it on, especially since the backlit key looks different depending on the manufacturer.
Sometimes, when the proper driver (ATK driver) is not installed on the laptop or the backlight LEDs are damaged, you will have a hard time turning on the keyboard light.
In this article I will explain how you may easily turn on the keyboard lights on your ASUS laptop.
Via Backlit Key on Laptop
Any ASUS laptops that come with a backlit keyboard will have a dedicated key to turn it on/off or control its intensity. This backlit key is indicated by a keyboard with a sun-shape icon.
On most ASUS notebooks, the backlit key is the F7 key. Press Fn + F7 key to turn on the keyboard backlight and scroll through its brightness level. If that does not work, check the F3 and F4 keys for a keyboard backlight icon. If these keys do not work, check other function keys for a backlight icon.
For gaming laptops, you may utilize the Fn + up-arrow key to turn on the backlight and increase its intensity. To turn off or lower the backlight intensity, you can use Fn + down arrow key.
If the backlit keyboard has RGB LED, the above method may not work if the color is set to black. If so, press the Fn + Left/Right arrow tochange the RGB on your backlit keyboard.
Armoury Crate is a built-in application on all ROG series gaming products. The application also comes with AURA Sync which allows you to control lights on any RGB device connected to the system.
Although Armoury Crate is the official companion application for all ASUS gaming laptops, G-Helper is a great alternative to Armoury Crate. According to G-Helper’s developer, this application works on ROG, TUF, STRIX, SCAR, ProArt, and many other ASUS laptop models.
