Devastator keyboard

Hey guys, I'm new to the Apple world and I've just recently purchased a used 2008 MacBook. Immediately as I bought this laptop the first thing that I pawned upon was I wonder how my keyboard will do with the mac!

Moral of the story, my Cooler Master keyboard backlight doesn't seem to work with it. Ordinarily I would press the SCR LK key and it would activate the backlight on the keyboard. When I do it on this device it simply turns the screen brightness up or down. I've done some research elsewhere and have only found things about people using their MacBooks with Ubuntu, but I'm a fan of the Apple software, why else would I buy a Mac?

Does anyone know anyway to make the backlight on my keyboard work?
Whether it be installing a program, running a few scripts in the terminal, I'm up for just about anything, I really don't want to buy another keyboard.
If it matters at all I'm currently running Mavericks.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

My guess is that the Mac driver for the keyboard (if it has one, which could be your main problem) uses a different key than Windows.
