On wayland the leds for "Lock" keys (Caps/Num/Scroll) are always off. In the case of Num Lock, the option to turn it on on plasma startup is not being honored either. I have one of the "supported" keyboards DELL SK-8135, and none of this happens on X. Reproducible: Always
Addressed with https://phabricator.kde.org/D2943
The issue is not yet fixed, it will be fixed once the change gets pushed and that will automatically update the bug report :-)
Git commit 4c7752c965ab9e10ddb18b10077bdb4cdd52df6f by Martin Gräßlin. Committed on 17/10/2016 at 06:01. Pushed by graesslin into branch 'Plasma/5.8'. Support LEDs in Xkb and libinput Summary: The Xkb implementation starts to track the state of the LEDs in the keymap and emits a signal whenever the LEDs change. This signal is connected to a method in LibInput::Connection which updates the led state on all devices and uses it to init the state of the led when a new device gets connected. FIXED-IN: 5.8.2 Test Plan: Connected a keyboard with LEDs and enabled NumLock and ScrollLock.
