You can control your Gnome keyboard's backlight directly through the system's interface, typically found within settings or quick access menus.
Managing your keyboard backlight in Gnome is straightforward, allowing you to turn it on or off and adjust its brightness to suit your environment or preference. This control is usually integrated into the desktop environment's system settings or quick settings panel for easy access.

- Use the Toggle: Click the toggle switch to turn the backlight on or off.
- Use the Slider: If the backlight is on, click the adjacent arrow or icon to reveal the brightness slider and adjust it as needed.
