How to turn off keyboard backlight during sleep mode

Framework Laptop 16
1

Hello,

I just received my Framework 16 and I am loving it, but I have a quick question.

While running W11, and it’s plugged in, after the laptop goes to sleep, the backlight for the keyboard will remain on. I haven’t found any settings to turn it off while it’s in sleep mode.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or know where the option is for this?

On a side note, I believe this should be on by default. (If any developers are reading this)

The backlight does turn off when running on Linux, however you can still inadvertently wake up your laptop if you press a key, which is less ideal

Windows is pretending to be asleep. Later you’ll find that the CPU fans spinning like there’s no tomorrow when the laptop is “asleep” for a while.
