The user's guide for the WASD v2 keyboards (including the CODE) can be found here.

You will note that Fn + F11 and Fn + F12 are used to adjust the backlight, but will only function if DIP switch #6 is set to the ON position on the bottom of your keyboard.

Function + F12 toggles backlighting on/off. Function + F11 should cycle between the backlighting levels, from lowest to brightest.

If you have the 61-key CODE keyboard, use Fn+X to cycle the LED mode between

off (default)
on
recently touched
on, but snore when it hasn't been touched in a while

Fn+C turns down the brightness, and Fn+V turns up the brightness.
