Like an iPad, the brightness of the Magic Keyboard automatically adjusts based on the light conditions around you. If you want to manually adjust the brightness of the keys on your Magic Keyboard, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard.

Call tech-support two times they are unable to get the backlit keyboard to work. Transferred me to another department for a return. Very unhappy that I have to send my keyboard back for replacement before I get the new one Don’t have a FedEx office within a 1 Hour Dr. and you won’t send me the new one with the box I can put the old one in and then, drop it off
