Unknown key on Das Keyboard X50Q

Hi all,
I've just bought a Das Keyboard X50Q, and I'm a little confused.

I have no idea what the button above the number lock does. It's between the Pause button, and the Play / Pause media key if that helps. I kind of hoped it would be a previous track button, but that does not seem to be the case.

Anyone got any ideas? I'd like to remap it with SharpKeys if at all possible.

Of course, there is always the remote possibility that I'm not being an idiot, and the key doesn't in fact work.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like "light the gas burner"?

Looks like some kind of brightness button.

This I'd say. Probably the backlight settings and then off.

About 2/3 of the way down:

Quick access media controls
Simple Control at Your Fingertips
Das Keyboard X50Q provides direct controls to quickly set sound level, play or pause songs, and adjust RGB brightness while gaming or working.

You may have to press and hold the FN key at the same time.

Looks to be the same as my Logitech G513 RGB brightness control.

Can't help with remapping.
