Can u disable all lighting on the keyboard?

Contemplating to purchase it but I can't stand the idea of a lit keyboard.

Btw is typing smooth? With my current Vostro 1220 the keys are a little stiff. I love my mother's miniature Asus, the keys are very soft and ez to press.

 

Yes you can turn all the lights off, and the keys aren't at all stiff. Quite nice in fact.

 

AlienFX is fully customizable. you can choose which ever you which to leave on and also color to individual portion eg. keyboard, speaker, status indicators, power indicator and so on. you can even switch to go dark mode where all lights are off except the indicators

keyboard wise its really soft and quiet thats all i can comment

 

you can turn everything off....

 

Phfew that's quite a relief. Unfortunately though I can't turn off the childish Alienware branding and the Gray head. Thank God I work from home else I would get dirty looks in an office with this stuff!

But I guess Dell purchased the company to cater to the younger generation and combat their image of an austere office PC manufacturer.

 

How do you turn the alien head off on the outside of the lid?

 

You can not.... unless you power down the notebook

 

That one does not turn off, it uses the backlight from the screen.

 

yes you can. i left everything off except for the power button.

 

OK, Clarify time. You can not turn the alien head back-light on the lid off on the M11x in normal operation. (explain if I'm wrong)

I can however turn the light off by closing the lid with the lid closed status set to "do nothing". This is the operational state I use when connecting external monitors and keyboard/mouse to the M11x.

 

You know what, I was worried about it looking kiddy too but in the flesh it actually looks quite smart. My girlfriend is jealous of the keyboard lighting too
It certainly is bold looking though.

 

What? You can turn off the light for the "ALIENWARE" under the screen. I have that off.

The only way that isn't lit up is when the screen is off whether you just close it or power down.

 

keyboard is outstanding! you can switch your lights of in about a second with a right click and a left click

 

Music to hunch to with flashing lights.

At least someone got what I was alluding to.

 

theres a Fn + key shortcut to turn off all the lights btw (aside from lid of course)

 

Yes, that's what I use: Fn+[Print Screen | Alien FX] key turns off/on all the lighting except Alien head instantly.
