You can run the following to be able to control the keyboard LEDs via the ( **Fn** +) **+**, **-**, **\*** and **/** keys on the number pad of the keyboard:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard
cd tuxedo-keyboard
make && sudo make dkmsinstall && 
sudo modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
```

**Fn+**\* will then allow you to turn off the backlight.
