Hi @w0jc1ech,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  


Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

The ability to adjust the keyboard backlight brightness on a laptop, including an HP Omen Gaming Laptop, generally depends on the specific model and the features it offers. Here are some general steps you can try.

 

Function Key:

Many laptops, including HP Omen models, have a function key dedicated to adjusting the keyboard backlight. Look for a key with an icon that resembles a keyboard or a lightbulb. It is often in the top row of function keys and may have a backlight icon.

Press and hold the "Fn" (Function) key and then press the key with the backlight icon. This should cycle through different brightness levels or turn the backlight on/off.

HP Omen Command Center:

HP Omen laptops often come with a pre-installed application called "Omen Command Center." You can check this software for options related to keyboard backlight control.

Open the Omen Command Center, navigate to the lighting or keyboard section, and look for options to adjust the backlight brightness.

BIOS/UEFI Settings:

Some laptops allow you to control the keyboard backlight through the BIOS or UEFI settings. Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI menu (usually by pressing a key like F2, Esc, or Del during the boot process).

Check for settings related to the keyboard backlight and adjust the brightness as needed.

Windows Settings:

  • In some cases, you may be able to control the keyboard backlight through Windows settings. Go to "Settings" > "System" > "Display" and look for keyboard backlight options.

Check the User Manual:

  • Refer to the user manual or documentation that came with your HP Omen laptop. It often contains information on how to control various features, including the keyboard backlight.

 

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
