Hello community, I would like to know if you have found a way to automatically turn off the backlit keyboard after a certain period of time to save battery consumption. [I’m using it on Windows 11]. I had a thinkpad x270, the full version and it has that feature using windows or linux. And also if there is a way of turning off the power light. Thanks
Welcome to the forum.
Not sure if anyone has created anything for windows. I know a community member did create a daemon for Linux GitHub - jonas-schievink/keylightd: Keyboard backlight daemon for the Framework Laptop
I believe there is an option to dim the power button LED in the BIOS. But neither the keyboard nor power button are going to be a significate battery drain.
keylightd works for the 12th gen intel variant as well, but it does not work for the AMD boards. I’ve been tearing my hair out periodically trying to get it to work with no luck.
As far as I can tell, it’s something about how the AMD variant communicates with the embedded controller that’s fundamentally different from the intel version.

Issue’s fixed for the amd fw13 Variant in the 6.10 linux kernel.
I tried it on an early release of 6.10 kernel on ubuntu 24.04, works like a charm.
