    Hello everyone!

    I enjoy the backlit keyboard, but when i'm operating on battery only,,i don't want it on constantly. Are there settings or quick key hotkeys for turning it off,,or even better,,making it touch sensitive,,so it only comes on when i touch the keyboard???


    Thank you

    Just hit the F10 key, it alternates between off, half brightness, and full brightness.

    Thank you! Works perfectly. Though,i was expecting something more like my old xps,when you touched the keyboard or hovered your hand over it, it turned on automatically.
