Adjusting LED Brightness in Windows 11’s Dynamic Lighting

This article explains how to change the brightness level for Dynamic Lighting LED devices in Windows 11.

Windows Dynamic Lighting feature controls Dynamic Lighting-compatible devices (such as LED-lit keyboards, mice, case lighting, or other devices) individually or as a group through the Windows Settings app.

When these devices are connected, they will show up as cards at the top of the page. You can select these cards to change individual device settings.
