When your laptop is started, the keyboard lights should flash as part of the Power On Self Test (POST), even if the lights are turned off in Windows or the ATK Package is corrupted or missing. If they don't flash on POST, it means a) the ASUS tech forgot to connect the keyboard light ribbon cable or broke the cable or connector, or b) this issue results from ASUS updating your BIOS while at the Service Center. There are other threads on this forum where other customers have experienced this problem (i.e. laptop returned from Service Center and keyboard lights do not work - see None were able to resolve the problem with a software fix.Unfortunately, this means you will most likely have to RMA your laptop to resolve this issue. The latest version ATK Package for the G53SW is 1.0.0007. If you have installed 1.0.0015, you could uninstall it from Control Panel, REBOOT, and install the 1.0.0007 version as a last attempt at a software fix. Be sure to Logon to Windows and press Fn-F4. Unfortunately, the odds of success are small if your keyboard lights truly do not flash at POST. It is likely that was the version already on your system when it was returned from the Service Center.

Keyboard Lights is a straightforward application that provides you with a solution to these issues, as it displays a virtual version of the classic keyboard LEDs in desktop area whenever one of these keys is pressed. Whenever you press one of the keys mentioned above, a sound effect is played and a notification is displayed in the system tray area to let you know which of them are currently active.Vovsoft Keyboard Lights is an easy to use application that provides an alternative to the classic keyboard lights that indicate the status of the Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock keys.

That 3-pin switches can fit onto a 5-pin switch compatible PCB. However, you would experience some difficulty in the switch’s stability as it would easily pop off the socket of your PCB.Thus, we recommend that you thoroughly research the switches you’re going to buy and their compatibility with your PCB to eliminate the inconvenience and need for extra effort when installing.Orientation of LEDs in your KeyboardThe orientation of the LED of your keyboard is either north-facing or south-facing. Accordingly, you have to get mechanical keyboard switches compatible with the LED orientation of your keyboard.You should consider that some switches are not compatible with North-facing LEDs. Likewise, some switches are also not compatible with South-facing LEDs. One of the problems when dealing with north-facing LEDs is the keycap interference with Cherry profile keys. However, you can easily avoid this by getting a more extended stem switch. Examples of these switches are the Glorious Panda, Feker Panda, and Boba U4T. Switch Housing and RGB Shine-throughIn line with the LED orientation of your keyboard, you also have to consider the board’s RGB shine-through and your switch’s compatibility, especially if you love those gamer lights illuminating on your keyboard. The switch compatibility with shine-through depends on their housing. Mechanical keyboard switches have different types of housings — most of which feature clear housings, opaque housings, and tinted housings. Clear housings are the safest option for RGB to shine through the switch easily. A switch with this type of housing will illuminate the LEDs the brightest out of the three types. On the other hand, opaque housing causes some interference with the RGB shine-through. Compared to the clear-housing switches, its RGB shine-through is considered hazy in color. However, some opaque switches feature a hole in the switch’s housing, which allows the LED to pass through more brightly.Lastly, the tinted housing switches would not cause interference in the light’s intensity, but it would display a tinted color of the original RGB lights. Take, for example, the AKKO Matcha Greens, the switch has a green-tinted housing, and when illuminated by the LED of your keyboard, the RGB would have a slight tint of green with the lights.
