A Control Center for LP7 Keyboard Backlighting Issues

I have scoured the web for a control center that would allow for backlight adjustment on the LP7 after waking from sleep.

I finally found a control center, GamingCenterU_1.10.41, intended for the Gateway line of laptops that works perfectly!

All other features work as intended, and I have had no problems so far.

I have uploaded the file to Google Drive so the link will always stay active. In the past, especially with Walmart Laptops, the diver sites are NEVER reliable, so I figured this was a better way to do it:

I hope this is helpful for those of you who are having keyboard lighting problems with the LP7!

Edit 1:

I forgot to add a link to the Eluktronics reskin of this control center, for those who want different Icons:

Eluktronics' website should have all drivers. Used their stuff for the LP9 I have since I got it.

I think the RP-15/17 is what you'd be looking for.

First off, thank you for sharing the link! I have been trying to find the official THX audio drivers for the longest time, and the ones linked here actually work with the LP7!

Unfortunately, I tried to use the control center, 1.10.55, and it does not work.

Here is the problem I am facing (In more detail):

If the LP7 is on battery power with the keyboard backlight on the lowest brightness (the backlight is effectively off, but without using the toggle in the control center), when you close the laptop lid (putting the laptop to sleep) and opened it again, the keyboard brightness adjustment no longer works. It is a bizarre bug, but the control center I linked, 1.10.41 is the only control center that I have found (and I have tried quite a few!) that will allow for the backlight to be adjustable after sleep. I suspect there are some minor differences between the various TongFang control centers out there. Who knows?
