In most cases, the Magic Keyboard backlight brightness is exactly what it should be. Unfortunately, you can’t completely turn off the backlight.
A number of function keys, like on a MacBook, are not on the Magic Keyboard. Using these keys on laptops, you can change the volume and brightness of the backlight. On the iPad, the brightness changes through Settings.

The backlight helps to type in the dark, but interferes with watching movies.
Using Siri or through the Control Center, you cannot change the brightness of the Magic Keyboard, although it would be very convenient.
