I fix it last night. Check updates, and maybe install light and change ~/.config/i3/config

# Screen brightness controls
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec --no-startup-id light -A 5%; exec notify-send 'brightness up 5%'
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec --no-startup-id light -U 5%; exec notify-send 'brightness down 5%'

Maybe reboot :slight_smile:

Please,

you need only change the old entry to this

# Screen brightness controls
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec --no-startup-id light -A 5%; exec notify-send 'brightness up 5%'
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec --no-startup-id light -U 5%; exec notify-send 'brightness down 5%'

and I ask about

if empty

sudo pacman -Syu light

and reboot and

is always advisable.
