This tutorial will show you how to change the LED brightness level of Dynamic Lighting RGB devices for your account in Windows 11.
If you have Dynamic Lighting-compatible devices (such as LED-lit keyboards, mice, case lighting, or other devices), you can control them both individually or as a group through Windows Settings.
When connected, compatible devices will show up as cards along the top of the page. Select these cards to change individual device settings. Below these cards you can find global Dynamic Lighting settings, where changes affect all connected devices.
You can set the LED brightness on your connected RGB devices in Dynamic Lighting settings.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22631.4541 (23H2) and build 22631.4534 (24H2), when no compatible devices are attached, the Dynamic Lighting settings page will now show a placeholder message and Brightness and Effects controls are disabled. On the Dynamic Lighting settings page, Microsoft has added Forward, Backward, Outward and Inward direction options to the Wave effect, and added the Forward direction option to the Gradient effect.
