can't turn on backlit keyboard 18.10

I seem to find very old threads and results when googling.

I have an Asus UX331UAL and my keyboard brightness worked fine when I used Manjaro KDE. Now when I have Ubuntu 18.10 they keystroke registers (I see the HUD pop up but with no possible changes). How can I fix this?

I tried "xset led 3" in the terminal, and "xset led on". nothing happens.
