Toggle Keyboard Light with a Key

This Lua script for Rebind hardware input allows you to toggle your keyboard's backlight with a single key press. It uses the HID namespace to send key presses and provides alternative key combination

Question

I need a Rebind Lua script to turn off the keyboard light once.

Here's a script that binds the F12 key to toggle the keyboard light:

lua
-- rebind: name=Keyboard Light Toggle

Bind("F12", function()
    HID.Press("F6")
    UI.Notify("Keyboard light toggled", "info")
    return false
end)

This script uses HID.Press("F6") to simulate pressing the F6 key, which is commonly used to toggle keyboard backlights. Pressing F12 will send the F6 key press.

If F6 doesn't work, try these alternatives:

  • HID.Press("F5")
  • HID.Press("LCtrl+F6")
  • HID.Press("LFn+F6")

Modify the HID.Press() key combination in the script if necessary. What is your keyboard model?
