How to change color on ONN mechanical keyboard with Fn shortcuts
Most ONN mechanical keyboards allow you to change the backlight color directly using built-in key combinations with the Fn (Function) key. This hardware shortcut method works without any software or drivers. For ONN Wired Gaming Keyboards, you can also use Fn shortcuts, while some gaming models additionally support ONN Keyboard Software for more advanced RGB customization.
Use Fn key combinations to cycle lighting modes
To cycle through different lighting modes, press and hold the Fn key, then press one of these keys:
- Fn + Insert
- Fn + Home
- Fn + Page Up
- Fn + Delete
- Fn + End
- Fn + Page Down
Each combination switches to a preset lighting mode such as wave, breathing, or static. Pressing the same combination again may cycle through variations of that mode. Experiment with each key to find the mode you prefer.
Select a specific color using Fn shortcuts
Once you are in a lighting mode that supports color selection, press and hold the Fn key and press specific keys to change the color. These are typically number row keys (Fn + 1, Fn + 2, etc.) or dedicated color keys if your model has them. For ONN Wired Gaming Keyboards, press and hold the Fn key and simultaneously press the key with a lighting icon, often F3 or F4, to cycle through preset colors. Some budget-friendly models offer a limited set of seven preset colors like red, blue, green, purple, cyan, white, and yellow without per-key programming.
Adjust brightness with Fn + arrow keys
To increase the backlight brightness, press and hold the Fn key and press the Up Arrow key. To decrease brightness, press and hold the Fn key and press the Down Arrow key. This works across most lighting modes and color selections.
Customize colors with ONN Keyboard Software for gaming models
Some ONN Mechanical Keyboards, particularly gaming models, offer advanced RGB lighting customization through dedicated ONN Keyboard Software. Connect the keyboard to your computer via USB, then download and install the ONN Keyboard Software from the official ONN website or the Meetion website for specific models. Within the software, navigate to the "color settings" or "color profile" tab to access options for customizing color schemes, adjusting brightness, and creating lighting patterns. The software may allow for per-key lighting customization, enabling you to assign different colors to individual keys. Note that while the software primarily adds support for macro features, lighting control can also be done with built-in hotkeys.

Troubleshooting color change issues
If the color change shortcuts or software are not working, first ensure the keyboard is securely connected to a USB port and receiving sufficient power. Try a different USB port if possible. If using the ONN Keyboard Software, make sure it is the latest version and running correctly; restarting the software or reinstalling it can resolve issues. Keep in mind that not all ONN keyboards offer the same level of customization, some budget-friendly models provide only a limited number of preset colors without per-key programming, and some rely solely on hardware key combinations without dedicated software support. The keyboard is designed for plug-and-play functionality, and no additional drivers are typically required for basic lighting control.
