- Give this new configuration a name, and you can modify it.
Shortcut Method
How about a unique but less complicated strategy? This method only requires pressing two keys to change the keyboard light’s color. On the keyboard of your laptop, you must find the Keyboard button; it’s usually the F5 button. Next, press “Fn” and “F5” simultaneously to continue. As you press the keys, the color of the keyboard light will change. You can use the same method to revert.
Frequently Asked Questions
Different systems have different options for that, but the option to turn off RGB lightning can most probably be found where the option to change RGB lightning lies.
Check if the keyboard is connected properly, or try plugging the keyboard into a different socket.
Your computer will not be under extra load if you enable RGB on your keyboard because the power requirement for RGB lights on keyboards is very low.
