You can control the keyboard lights on your Asus TUF Dash F15 using a combination of function keys and the Armoury Crate software.

Here's how:

1. Using Function Keys for Brightness and Effects:

• Adjust Brightness:

  • Look for a keyboard backlight icon on your function keys. This is often on F3, F4, F7, or the Up/Down arrow keys.
  • Hold down the "Fn" key (usually in the bottom left corner) and press the appropriate function key (e.g., F4 to decrease brightness, F3 or F7 to increase it) to adjust the backlight intensity.
  • For some gaming models, the Up arrow key increases brightness, and the Down arrow key decreases it when pressed with the "Fn" key.
  • Continuously pressing the brightness-increasing key will eventually disable the backlight, and continuously pressing the decreasing key will also turn it off.

• Change Lighting Modes/Effects:

  • Hold down the "Fn" key and press the Right or Left arrow keys to cycle through different lighting modes or effects. This can include static, breathing, strobing, or color cycle effects.

2. Using Armoury Crate Software for Customization:

Armoury Crate is a comprehensive utility for managing your ASUS gaming device, including RGB lighting.

• Accessing Lighting Settings:

  1. Open the Armoury Crate app on your laptop.
  2. Go to "Device settings" and then select "Lighting" or "Keyboard settings" on the left side.
  3. Within the lighting section, you should find options for "Basic effects."

• Customizing Lights:

  • Color: If your model supports it, you'll see a color picker to choose your desired keyboard backlight color.
  • Effects: You can select from various effects like static, breathing, strobing, or color cycling.
  • Brightness and Speed: Armoury Crate also allows you to adjust the brightness and speed of the lighting effects.
  • After making your selections, click "Save" or "Apply."

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Update Drivers: Ensure your keyboard drivers and Armoury Crate app are up to date. You can find these on the ASUS download center by searching for your laptop's model number.
• Armoury Crate Issues: If you're having trouble with Armoury Crate, try resetting its lighting options to default within the app. Sometimes, reinstalling Armoury Crate and its related drivers can resolve issues.
• BIOS Settings: In rare cases, the keyboard backlight might be disabled in the BIOS settings. Restart your laptop and press F2 or Delete to enter BIOS, then look for keyboard lighting options to ensure it's enabled.
• "MyASUS" app: Check the MyASUS app for system updates, especially those related to keyboard hotfixes.

Keep in mind that the exact function key combinations and the extent of customization in Armoury Crate can vary slightly depending on your specific Asus TUF Dash F15 model. If you can't find the backlit keyboard hotkeys, your laptop might not support the feature.
