[SOLVED] Keyboard retroillumination doesn't work

xset q | grep LED
  auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000000

LED mask changes when trying to light the LEDs up:

xset led 3
xset q | grep LED
  auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000004
for i in {1..32}; do xset led $i; done
xset q | grep LED
  auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  ffffffff

It doesn't work neither on X11 nor Wayland.

EDIT: They light up when I start the computer, but stop when booting Arch.

EDIT 2: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … Any_vendor did the job

brightnessctl -l # names are different from the wiki
brightnessctl --device='platform::kbd_backlight' set 2
brightnessctl --device='input3::numlock' set 1
brightnessctl --device='input3::capslock' set 1
brightnessctl --device='input3::scrolllock' set 1
