    Bought an ASUS UX403U and can't figure out how to set the backlit keyboard to automatically turn off until a key is pressed again.

    Fn+F3/F4 increase/decrease brightness, and the only other key that seems to have to do with keyboard lights is "A". However, Fn+A doesn't do anything.

    You may need the utility to control its behavior in Linux but since Linux isn't a supported OS so it's not going to be possible to accomplish such changes.
