If you don’t like the keyboard of your MacBook Air or Pro on, even if you haven’t used it for a long time, then you can set the backlight to turn off automatically or just turn it off. I note that the keyboard backlight, and not the MacBook display, will turn off.
Most users like MacBook Pro, MacBook, and MacBook Air keyboard light feature, but there are users who don’t. This article will show you how to completely turn off the keyboard backlight on Mac laptops.
Turn Off Keyboard Light on Macbook Pro or Other MacBook
You can turn off any MacBook Pro keyboard light by doing the following:
- Go to the System Preferences;
- Select Keyboard;
- In the Keyboard section, uncheck the “Adjust keyboard brightness in low light” box;

- Now hold down the F5 key (or fn + F5);

- That’s all, the keyboard backlight will now be turned off.
Note: It is important to first disable the option in the settings, otherwise the backlight may turn on automatically depending on the lighting.

Conclusion
It is difficult to say whether this option has an effect on battery consumption, as keyboard backlight already consumes significantly little. Be that as it may, it still eats up some kind of power, so you may still notice a small difference.
