Battery Status Notification
Your keyboard will let you know when it is running low. From 100% to 11% your LED will be green. From 10% and below, the LED will be red. You can continue typing for more than 500 hours without backlighting when the battery is low.

Plug the USB-C cable at the top right corner of your keyboard. You can continue typing while it is charging.

Smart backlighting
Your keyboard has an embedded ambient light sensor that reads and adapts the level of backlighting accordingly.

*Backlight is turned OFF.

There are eight backlight levels.
You can change the backlight levels at any time, with two exceptions: the backlight cannot be turned ON when the room brightness is high or when the keyboard battery is low.

Software notifications
Install Logitech Options software to get the most out of your keyboard.

1. Backlight level notifications
   Change the backlight level and to know in real-time what level you have.
   
   
2. Backlighting disabled
   There are two factors that will disable backlighting:
   
   When your keyboard has only 10% of battery left when you try to enable backlighting, this message will appear. If you want backlight back, plug your keyboard to charge.
   
   When the environment around you is too bright, your keyboard will automatically disable backlighting to avoid using it when not needed. This will also allow you to use it longer with backlight in low light conditions. You will see this notification when you try to turn backlighting ON.
3. Low battery
   When your keyboard reaches 10% of battery left, backlighting turns OFF and you get a battery notification on the screen.
   
   
4. F-Keys switch
   Press Fn + Esc to swap between Media keys and F-Keys. We've added a notification to let you know you've swapped.
   
   NOTE: By default, the keyboard has direct access to Media Keys.
