Abstract

Adjusting underlighting of a keyboard input device, including identifying execution of a computer-implemented application on an IHS, and in response: accessing a database storing lighting profiles for the keyboard input device: determining whether a personalized lighting profile for the computer-implemented application is stored by the database; determining that the personalized lighting profile for the computer-implemented application is not stored by the database, and in response, determining whether an application-specific lighting profile for the computer-implemented application is stored by the database; determining that the application-specific lighting profile for the computer-implemented application is stored by the database, and in response, applying the application-specific lighting profile to the keyboard input device, including: adjusting a power state of a first subset of lights of the keyboard input device to an off power state while retaining an on-power state of a second subset of lights of the keyboard input device.
