Hello, Can someone help me to enable the backlight control in my Asus G751JY macOS Sierra 10.12.0 ?
My keyboard backlight stays on and won't turn off at all. The backlight controls are not present in the keyboard settings.
Thank You in advance for your help!

Requires reverse engineering ACPI.

It is a matter of figuring out how the keys are handled in ACPI (probably an EC query method), and how the keyboard backlight is changed (probably via an EC register).

If your backlight control keys work on Linux, you might look at Linux source code for clues.
