The enter kiey on this doesn't seem to work at boot, I press F11 for my menu, pick my Linux drive & hit it with no response. I hit it many times it seems to go, but it never looked white anyway . I got a brighter white backlit no name, but the F11 didn't work most times & it didn't light up for a few secs after boot. Maybe it is my MB??? Anyway, any advice on a good white LED KB with big print? Oh, I want to beable to brighten it.

K70 RGB Mk.2 has good sized text and you can happily turn it white and as bright as you want.

Might seem like a daft suggestion but have you checked the motherboard to see if you have a specific (I'm guessing usb) socket that you need to stick your keyboard in, some newer boards work best with certain sockets.

I'm guessing you want a bright white for visibility at night so I'm going to suggest a curve ball....a Monitor Light Bar, xiaomi and benq, along with many no name brands do them. It sits on your monitor and shines down onto your keyboard.

Why You Need a Monitor Screen Light for your Desk Setup

This is one of the simplest and cheapest upgrades you can make to your desk setup. Especially if you're a student or someone who spends a lot of time reading...

Enter, or return? Have you tried the other?

Hmmm, well the KB didn;t always do it so it makes since. Got a noname white LED & the F11 was out at boot a lot, plus it didn't light up when the PC first came on.
