MacBook – How to increase keyboard light with Touch Bar not working

keyboardmacbook protouch-bar

My Touch Bar recently stopped working and at this point I have stopped trying to fix it.. I have tried reseting SMC/NVRAM. I just wanted to know if there is a way to turn on the keyboard lights even without Touch Bar working.

Best Answer

I don't think there's a way to manually adjust the keyboard backlight without the Touch Bar working, but you can set it to automatically turn on in low light:

Apple:

Adjust the brightness automatically

To set your keyboard brightness to adjust automatically:

  1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
  2. Select the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" checkbox.
