Are you tired of typing in the dark? Do you find yourself struggling to see the keys on your Dell keyboard? Look no further! Adjusting your Dell keyboard backlight settings is a quick and easy solution. In this blog post, we’ll go over how to turn on/off the backlight, adjust its brightness, and even change its color. Say goodbye to squinting at your keyboard and hello to a more comfortable typing experience. Let’s get started!
How to Turn the Backlight On
Turning on the backlight of your Dell keyboard is a simple process that can be done in just a few clicks. First, locate and press the “Fn” key on your keyboard. This key is typically located in the bottom left corner.
Next, look for the “F10” or “F6” key which has an icon of a keyboard with a light. Press this button while holding down the “Fn” key at the same time.
If you’re having trouble finding either of these keys, refer to your Dell laptop’s manual for more information.
Once you have successfully pressed both buttons, you should see your keyboard light up with its new backlight setting. Voila! You now have illuminated keys to help make typing easier in low-light environments.
Keep in mind that not all Dell laptops have backlights built into their keyboards. If you find that your keyboard does not have this feature, unfortunately there may be no way to turn it on without purchasing an external source such as a USB-powered LED light strip specifically designed for keyboards.
How to Change the Brightness of the Backlight
If you often use your Dell laptop in low-light conditions, adjusting the brightness of your keyboard backlight can help you type more comfortably. Here are the steps to change the brightness of your Dell keyboard backlight in Windows 10.
Firstly, locate and press the ‘Fn’ key on your keyboard along with either the ‘F6’ or ‘F7’ keys. These function keys typically have light bulb icons that indicate whether it’s for increasing or decreasing brightness respectively.
If pressing these function keys doesn’t adjust the backlight brightness, go to ‘Settings’, then click on ‘Devices’. From there, select ‘Dell Keyboard Backlight Settings’. You’ll be able to adjust a slider that controls how bright or dim you want your keyboard backlight to be.
Once done adjusting, simply close out of settings and resume using your computer as normal. With this simple process, you should now have an easier time typing in different lighting environments without straining your eyes.
How to Change the Color of the Backlight
Changing the color of your Dell keyboard backlight can add a personal touch and enhance the overall look of your laptop. To change the color, you’ll need to access the Windows Mobility Center.
First, press the Windows key + X on your keyboard to open up the Quick Link menu. From there, select “Mobility Center.”
Once in Mobility Center, locate and click on “Keyboard Brightness.” This will bring up a drop-down menu that allows you to choose from different colors for your backlight.
Select a color from the list and adjust its brightness using the slider bar below. You can also mix colors by selecting “Color Mixer” at the bottom of this window.
When you’ve chosen your desired color and brightness level, click “Apply” then close out of Mobility Center. Your Dell Keyboard backlight should now display in its newly selected color setting.
By following these simple steps, you can easily customize your Dell Keyboard’s backlight with any color or combination that best suits your style or preference!
How to Turn the Backlight Off
