You need to hold the Function key (marked Fn) and then press F5 and F11 to use as function keys. This can be reversed in the Keyboard section of System Preferences by ticking the Use F1, F2 etc. as standard function keys option; the Fn key will then control the brightness and volume keys.

How do you go to the brightness setting?

The brightness setting is usually hardware. If you have a PC with a seperate monitor, the brightness settings will be on the monitor, sometimes as an individual button or in the menu settings. If you have a laptop with a built-in display, the brightness setting is usually changed either with software supplied by the manufacturer, or by shortcut keys on the keyboard. For example on my Toshiba laptop I can change the brightness with a specific button on the case for that purpose, or using the "Fn+F6/Fn+F7" shortcuts, or by using the mouse to select the feature from the onscreen menu. On my PC I use the "Menu" and arrow buttons on my screen to change it. Most handheld devices like tablets and mobile phones also have brightness settings, they will be under the "settings" menu on the device although you can usually install a widget onto the device to make changing the setting easier to do. Hope this helps!


What is the purpose of the Dim keyboard?

Your question wording is confusing, but I will attempt to guess what you mean and answer it. Some (but not all) keyboards have a backlight to help you identify the keys in low lighting conditions. On such keyboards a pair of keys (usually multifunction "f keys") are used to adjust the brightness of this backlight to meet the user's needs. That is the purpose of the key on the keyboard that you are asking about.
