Troubleshooting

The backlight keyboard may not function due to conflicting programs, software updates, or hardware problems. As for basic troubleshooting, try power cycling your computer or checking all the USB ports in case any port is not functioning. If these did not solve your problem, move on to technical fixes.

Increase the Brightness Level

You can increase the brightness level through your keyboard by finding the PgUp key on the keyboard and repeatedly pressing the key several times. If it is not effective, press the FN key before hitting PgUp. Similarly, PgDn decreased the brightness.

WARNING: If the brightness level of a new keyboard is not changing, then it is most likely faulty. In such a case, return it to the shop and ask them to replace it.

Update Keyboard Drivers

Your keyboard’s driver may need an update or be corrupted if your keyboard’s backlight has stopped working. Update your keyboard driver to solve this issue.

Run The Keyboard Troubleshooter

If the driver update did not resolve the trouble, I recommend using a built-in Windows troubleshooting tool that will detect and fix keyboard-related problems on your PC.

Windows 10

Run the troubleshooter with the instructions below:

Step 1

Access Windows Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional Troubleshooters.

Go to Find And Fix Other Problems > Expand Keyboard > Run The Troubleshooter.

Windows 11

The process differs slightly on Windows 11:

Step 1

Open Settings > System.

Step 2

Move to Troubleshoot > Other Troubleshooters > Keyboard > Run.

With the above key combinations, I could easily switch colors and lighting effects on my Sades Keyboard to match my aesthetic needs. Moreover, don’t hesitate to contact Sades Support if the color fails to change despite using these troubleshooting methods.
