Issue/Bug Description:

System76 Gazelle (gaze14, 17" with 1660Ti) - keyboard light switch has suddenly stopped working. Can change colors and brightness, but the on/off button is no longer functional. Have confirmed that the key itself is fine, without pressing Fn the key enters "*" into a text field as expected.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Try and press the keyboard light trigger button (Fn + *).

Expected behavior:

Keyboard light should turn off.

@fagg I am unable to recreate the issue on the same hardware with the same software setup. You could try to reinstall the system76-dkms to see if that fixes the issue.

If the issue persists, I would recommend you contact System76 support and they can help you get to the bottom of your issue.
