Keyboard Backlight

The keyboard keys are backlit with LEDs. The backlight is manually controlled using the 2nd + CTRL + F10 keypress sequence.

Control Keys

The VMT keyboard has several control keys. Because of the construction of the Thor VX8 and the Microsoft Windows operating system, many of the Control Keys are not used on the Thor VX8.

The 2nd functions of the F4 and F5 keys are not used as the display brightness is adjusted via the buttons on the Thor VX8.

The 2nd functions of the F6 and F7 keys are not used as the Thor VX8 has TFT LCD screen with no provision for contrast adjustments.

The 2nd functions of the F8 and F9 keys are not used as the sound volume on the Thor VX8 is controlled with the Sound icon in the Microsoft Windows System Tray.

The F10 key is used to toggle the backlight as part of the keypress sequence 2nd + CTRL + F10. This key sequence immediately toggles the status of the keyboard backlight. Pressing 2nd + F10 has no effect on the keyboard backlight.
