Hello.
I would like to get drivers for the CM Storm Keyboard.
It has a green back light that seems to only work with Windows.
I would push scr lk ( on-off symbol) and it would light up.
This does not seem to work with Mate 15.10.
Thanks.
Hello
Ubuntu MATE 15.10 is no longer supported.
Currently supported version of Ubuntu MATE are:
16.04 LTS
16.10
Cheers
I have a 2.5 inch HDD that has 16.04 on it.
I want to put it in a 2.5/3.5 adapter and put it into this computer.
Thanks.
I have just read this elsewhere. Try it and see if it works
Open a terminal
To turn it on:
xset led 3
To turn it off:
xset -led 3
If it works, then simply put the “xset led 3” command in your startup list.
Or, if you want to retain manual control, create a couple of launchers on your top panel. One for “on” and one for “off”

Apparently, this command allows you to use the scroll lock key to turn the light on and off and can be used as a manual override in conjunction with the xset led 3 command used in the startup list:
sudo xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'
You could automate the above command as well. But this is slightly trickier due to the “sudo” part of the command. Let me know if you want to know how to do that.

Hey nice of you to help a brother out Steve. I checked out the link and there seemed to be just what the OP was looking for. As a bonus I was also very entertained by “actionparsnip’s” replies

Hello again. How about the mouse it has a light on it too? It also has a button that seems to have 3 light settings.
edit: that is the DPI. It can be changed on the fly.
Am I able to turn it off and on too?
I did not find a manual yet.
What is the precise make and model of the mouse?
It is the Cm Storm Devastator Mouse. mn: sgr-3012-kkmf-1-us
I created a desktop file and put it into autostart and created the backlight.sh file. The keyboard comes on, but does the scroll lock suppose to turn the light back off?
edit:
I typed in xset -led 3 in the terminal and now the keyboard will go on and off with scr lk.
I got the following from the link above.

Finally Found an answer, at least for Ubuntu 14.04
as for how to get the keyboard to light up before the login screen:
edit :
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf
sudo gedit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf
add the line:
greeter-setup-script= xset led 3"
