Hi forum members,

I am new in forum. I liked to know if there are anything about backlight keyboard gamer laptop and KDE config ?

Case don't have, It's possible I can suggest this improvement in KDE ?

In the distribuitions don't have nothing about backlight keybord config and so little in graphical ambiance. Only how applications at backlight keyboard, and are difficult at config.

Thanks,

Keyboard backlight depends on proprietary drivers AFAIK, so ask the manufacturers to provide free drivers for Linux.

In last years, I not found driver for Linux.
But now years more late, who knows ?!

Thanks for information.

I recently bought a laptop from skikk, installed kubuntu 20.04 (now upgraded to 20.10) on it and one of the things that doesn't work is the keyboard leds, it simply stays blue and on all the time (even when the laptop goes in suspend mode).

It would be really nice if this could be controlled via the plasma desktop configuration settings, perhaps it's not that difficult to add? I found some pointers about this on the following links:

https://configurelaptop.eu/clevo-keyboa ... for-linux/
https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxe ... /issues/12

Perhaps it's different for different brands of laptops or keyboards, it would be nice if there's a generic "middleware" layer to abstract the different ways these keyboard leds are interfaced with the PC...

Cheers
