To turn off the keyboard light on a laptop, the most common method is to use the function key combination dedicated to keyboard backlight control. Typically, this involves pressing the "Fn" key along with a function key such as F5, F9, or F11 (the exact key varies by laptop model). Pressing this key combination repeatedly cycles the keyboard backlight through different brightness levels including off. For example, on many HP laptops:
- Locate the keyboard backlight key (often F5, F9, or F11) marked with a light icon.
- Press and hold the Fn key and tap the backlight key repeatedly until the keyboard light turns off.
On some models or brands, the backlight can also be controlled via software settings or a dedicated keyboard backlight toggle key that may not require the Fn key. For gaming laptops with RGB lighting, software like the system's control center may be used to turn off the keyboard lights. If the keyboard backlight keys do not work, it may be possible to disable the keyboard backlight in BIOS settings or system control panels depending on the laptop brand (e.g., Dell allows disabling in BIOS under keyboard illumination settings). In summary, the primary and quickest way to turn off the keyboard light is to press the Fn key plus the specific function key with the keyboard light icon repeatedly until it turns off.
