Hi
A few weeks ago i spilled some water on my keyboard and now my f5 key does not work anymore, that's a problem because f5 is also the button to turn on the lights on my keyboard.
I'm wondering if there is a way to turn the backlight on and of without having to press the f5 button
I have looked through the settings but i cannot find a option to do this
i hope you guys can help me, it is stupid to have a keyboard with lights for them not to be on.
kind regard
