I recently purchased a laptop with some unfavorable backlighting behavior. The F5 key is permanently backlit at all times. I was told that there is no way to turn off the F5 light. But is there a way to completely disable ALL keyboard backlighting, perhaps by changing the BIOS, registry, or drivers?

I have an HP Spectre x360, by the way.

The keyboard backlighting state can be toggled using fn+f5.

After enough complaints, it looks like HP has finally released a solution. There are updated drivers, and you can go into the bios to disable the key. See below for details: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Turn-off-permanent-backlight-under-F5-key-on-Spectre-x360/td-p/4968500
