What Other Issues Prevent You From Changing Alienware Keyboard Color?
A few other issues can prevent you from changing your Alienware keyboard color. Not all of them have to do with your machine, as the internet and your computer’s model can also play a role in preventing the keys from changing colors. Below, we’ll provide a breakdown of what you can do.
You May Not Have an RBG Keyboard
If the “Lights” tab is missing, your laptop doesn’t have the RGB lighting feature. Unfortunately, there’s no way to add this feature to your computer. If your Alienware doesn’t come with RGB lights, you will be unable to change the colors.
The only solution here is to get a new laptop with the RBG feature. Otherwise, you can get an RGB keyboard to connect to your computer.
Your Laptop is in Sleep Mode
Another issue is that the color might not change if your laptop is in sleep mode. You’ll need to go into your power settings and disable sleep mode to fix this. Sleep mode prevents your computer from accessing specific programs and applications to save power. So, you’ll need to disable this before you make any changes.
Your Laptop Isn’t Connected to the Internet
Finally, make sure that your laptop is connected to the internet. The color change won’t save unless your computer is connected to the internet. Generally, you can tell if you’re connected to the internet on the bottom right of your screen.
You May Have Broken RBG Lights
If the RBG lights on your laptop are not working, you won’t be able to change the color. You’ll need to take your computer in to get it fixed. This is a hardware issue.
Can You Disable Alienware Keyboard Lights?
The lights on your Alienware keyboard are there for a reason. They provide a better gaming experience and help you see the keys in the dark. However, you may want to disable the lights for different reasons.
You can disable the lights by going into the “Lights” tab and clicking the “Off” button. You can also set the lights to turn off when your laptop’s lid is closed.
