Umm... hold the function key and try again. If that does not work, do a Bios update and try again. If that does not work, invest in gaming glasses that reduce blur.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Press the "Fn" (function) key and the dimming buttons at the same time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They work fine in Windows, or at least they work fine with the preinstalled Windows version. Under Linux, the hid-asus kernel module needs to be patched to acknowledge the new USB product ID of the keyboard, and a few other small changes are necessary. I'm planning on submitting patches to the Linux kernel sometime in November 2019. Hopefully I'll be able to clean up my code to meet the kernel team's standards and get it merged in time for the version that goes into Ubuntu 20.04 This ROG (and a few others) use special keyboard USB hidraw events instead of the previously common Asus WMI events, so any older driver that expects WMI events for brightness won't work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On this laptop, hold the function key and press either the Up or Down arrow keys to adjust keyboard brightness. For screen brightness, hold function and press F7 or F8 to adjust.
