Keychron K2 Pro HELP!

[fdw777]

Hello all I just received my new K2 Pro and really love it. Except I can not figure out how to get the KEYS backlit to come on. The lights under the keys are on and can change the colors using the key in the upper right of the keyboard that look like a light.

The keyboard is:
Keychron K2 Pro (New)
Swappable RGB Backlit Aluminum
Brown Switch

Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is.
You said say cannot figure out how to turn on the backlight, yet you said the backlight comes on when you tap the "light" key in the top right corner.
If you want to change the pattern, repeatedly tap the light key - it cycles through all the different patterns, then returns to off.
If you want to change the color, use fn-right arrow or fn-left arrow to cycle through the different solid and rainbow colors.

Press fn + tab to turn the backlight on/off.
Press fn + Q (or A) to change the lighting effect.
Press fn + W to increase the backlight brightness.
Press fn + S to decrease the backlight brightness.
Press fn + E (or D) to change the lighting hue.
Press fn + R (or F) to change the lighting saturation.
Press fn + T to increase the lighting effect speed.
Press fn + G to decrease the lighting effect speed.

The keycaps aren't see through so they won't actually be "backlit" per se. It's really more of a lighting effect than anything else. One of the included effects is a static light that doesn't have any effects. Not sure if that's what you were looking for? Cycle through the effects by pressing fn + Q (or A) to find the one you like. You can also just press the key that has a light bulb on it.

Thank you for this!!
I started with a K2V2 and just upgraded to K2pro, it didn't even occur to me that they could change the keyboard shortcuts. I.E the non pro version uses fn+arrow keys to change color.
I guess I should've read the quick guide
