Question About Keyboard Backlight?

Desktop

Hello, I have a question. My laptop supports LED keyboard backlighting, which I can control using Fn + Spacebar (Off, Low, and Max brightness). However, I can’t control it through the Quick Settings. Is there a way to enable that?

Hello! No there isn’t at the moment, although that would be doable with extension i guess. I dont know whether such extension exists currently tho

This exists since GNOME 45. If it’s not showing up in quick settings, it’s probably cause the keyboard firmware/driver is not exposing the backlight controls.

Here is a screenshot from my laptop:
