    Updated and still a problem the light works fine with an external mouse but when i use the touch pad the led does not turn on its very annoying maybe its a touchpad driver problem? i have the newest driver for that. It happens when i use the touchpad. (The little led dot on the upper left of the keyboard) I have the 15r2.

    Any fix would be great!

    The 3 notification leds hard drive, wifi, adn caps the cap done isnt lighting up when i use the touch pad so i never know if its on caps or not i have to not move the touch pad for a few seconds and then it will start to work until i use the touchpad again.

    I can reproduce it but only when I touch the touchpad at the same time as the capslock button. Otherwise the capslock lights on correctly. Not really an issue in my opinion.
