Title: KBT Pure Pro turning off the LEDs
Post by: iisshaun on Mon, 21 April 2014, 04:20:03
First time posting, bit of a lurker and while I've had a WASD Custom V1 for a few years now, I still don't know a ton. So super simple question. Can/how do you turn off the backlighting on the KBT Pure Pro? Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I want to know now.

I won't bore you with the long reasoning why I want them off, but in short it was kind of my only option to get it with backlighting that I don't want. Cheers.

Awesome, cheers. Does it save that setting? So I don't have to turn them off every time I turn on my PC.

And I don't know about the pure pro, but if you hit the backlighting key again, it puts it in a pulse mode

Not on the Pure Pro. There is no pulse mode on the Pure Pro.

- Fn-V: toggles backlighting on/off
- Fn-C: reduces brightness
- Fn-B: increases brightness

There are 7 levels of backlighting, so it is possible to find a level suitable for any environment (working under the sun doesn't count :) ).

The backlighting settings (on/off and brightness) are retained, even if you unplug your keyboard. That's a really nice touch.

Damn, thanks. That's exactly what I wanted too. I think it was the Pure or another 60% board that had a problem where no settings were saved when you powered down your system, meaning you had to turn on the LEDs on every start up. I was pretty worried about that, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks for the answers guys, I'll probably stick around with more questions in future.
