I have tried that on 19.04 with kernel 5.0.0-25-generic but it did not
work. What are ways to debug this?

/sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/brightness exists and can hold a
value of 0, 1, 2 or 3. Lower than 0 results in

bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Values over 3 result in 3.

Tree is

# ls -ltra /sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Aug 27 22:45 uevent
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root    0 Aug 27 22:45 ..
