acer nitro 5 keyboard backlight
Best Answer
-
Hi all,
We apologize for all the confusion this has created, I want to clarify that the intended behavior of the backlight on all Nitro's 5 and Acer models is to always turn off 30 seconds after the last key stroke, this is not a bug but a feature (is not new), and it is a power saver (it does save on battery life).
Please refer to the following knowledge article link: https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/34903 We will provide your feedback to our design/engineering team for future consideration, but at the moment theirs no information that this feature will be changed.
Note: This thread will be now closed and this marked as the official solution.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have cause,
Acer-Manny

Search for windows mobility center if you can find keyboard settings there, you can adjust the backlight timeout otherwise you can't just as in my case.Hope that helped you.2 -
Dell has their own software which adds further options in windows mobility center such as keyboard backlight and as far as i know there is no such software or utility by acer.
Hope that helped you.2 -

Thanks Sharanji. It's not that we don't know the default behaviours or limitations, what the actual acer users want is to be able to see their keyboard. This is something that needs fixing.... not that it's broken, but that it isn't functioning as desired. I understand there's a key we can press to turn on the backlight, but guess what ANY keypress will turn on the backlight.Sharanji said:@illenic

Better still would be a simple checkbox in acer control that allows users to leave backloght on at all times.1 -
i know the thread is bit old but its related issue.
I just bought my Acer Nitro 5 earlier but when I got home I noticed I can't turn on the keyboard light even I pressed Fn+F9. Any recommendations? What should I do? thanks in advance0 -
Again like last comment, old thread but ACER please fix this issue to add a variable timer. This is extremely annoying when trying to use the laptop at night. I love everything about this computer except this!0
