Usually the RGB keyboard activates the backlight when you press the scroll wheel, but it doesn’t work on Linux. I’ve tried using xset commands.

Several aspects of this matter are handled through software and need particular drivers. More details about the problem will help someone assist you better. When the backlight functioned, but then ceased, knowing your hardware and the Linux version you're running will be beneficial to begin. I just noticed the post title mentions "Debian," which is a mistake. Updated by paex on February 16, 2025.

When I link it to Windows, it functions properly, but on Linux it fails. Attempting to open Rgb didn’t help, and the terminal also didn’t work. I discovered the keyboard files but lacked permission to modify them.

It seems the scroll lock isn't functioning properly on Linux, and your keyboard activates when it's enabled.

I resolved it using echo input4 and the brightness command.

There are multiple xset instructions for controlling the keyboard lights: one sets them active, another disables them.

It doesn't function properly on your new operating system.
