CM Quickfire - How do you turn off the LEDs?

[Raycorrupt]

So I bought a CM Quickfire Stealth, and it arrived today and I'm stumped as to how to turn off the LEDs. I've tried doing FN + F1, but it just dims them a little, doesn't turn them off.

So, that's the user manual offered by Cooler Master for the model you listed. I don't know what you're doing to dim the LEDs, since according to this, that is not one of the functions offered. I don't think this one is even backlit; did you maybe get your keyboard model wrong?

maybe model dependent ?? my q-f ultimate its fn key lit then f1 off/on ... f2 dims down f3 brightens up - f4 custom lit like wsad or pulse or something

No, I didn't get my model wrong, as you can see from the screenshot:

For a 'stealth' keyboard, LEDs that are unable to be turned off is a real turn off.

That's the Quick Fire TK Stealth; similar, but different from the normal Quick Fire Stealth. Here is the manual, which again, does not list commands to dim/turn off the LEDs: http://assets.coolermaster.com/gaming/download/keyboards/quickfire-tk-stealth/quickfire-tk-stealth-user-guide-en-2013-07-31.pdf

In fairness, when keyboard manufacturers use the word "stealth", it's usually more a nod towards to it being quiet, not "stealthy" and dark. In CM's case, I think it's just a reference to how the icons and letters are printed on the side of the keycap as opposed to being on top.

there is a hack, I have turned off everything leaving cursor keys on, then I put computer into forced sleep and then woke it with the mouse. cursor keys didn't ligth up. this is a bit hacky but hey it works.
