The KG953 features RGB illumination with various lighting modes and brightness levels. Specific key combinations are used to control these features:

• Brightness Adjustment: Typically controlled by Fn + Up Arrow (increase brightness) and Fn + Down Arrow (decrease brightness).
• Lighting Mode Cycle: Use Fn + Insert, Fn + Home, Fn + Page Up, Fn + Delete, Fn + End, or Fn + Page Down to cycle through different pre-set RGB lighting effects. Refer to the quick guide included with your keyboard for exact key combinations if different.
