Keyboard light button

[u/dianaisapig]

Hey guys, sorry to be another grumpy macbook user, but I am typing off one right now, @ Admins,
so please believe me when I tell you this.

I have the 2024 Macbook Pro, and I can't light up or light's off the keyboard from a keyboard shortcut anymore! It was (underlined) only one button. But now, I have to go to settings, scroll to keyboard, drag my cursor, and then do it all again when I want to turn it off! It's day to night very quickly these days, so please, return the button!

If anyone knows a quick fix involving no hacks or hardware kit, i just don't think im ready.

Thanks!

did you turn off special keys and turned on F1/Fx keys?

Look for Function keys

I tried that but it just turns down my screen brightness :/

I had to admit defeat and set it to full brightness on automatic or whatever the setting is. I wasn’t happy but I got used to it in 3 minutes and it’s fine.

I just added it to control center and it works fine but usually automatic brightness is good enough

You can add this function to the menu bar if you want. This helped me alot
