One day after I got this keyboard the backlighting went out. The slip/manuel says Fn + Esc keys turn backlight on /off but it does nothing. Ideas?

Make sure everything is on plug and unplug it. That key combination at the same time shifts the colors and works fine on mine.

I never got a chance to put mine on. The computer was stolen. I replaced it once before and believe it is the complete deal. I didn't notice a backlight when I removed it. I still have mine but no where to put it.

It appears the backlighting is disabled (no light even pressing the 'sun' symbol) until the keyboard is paired with the ipad although the keyboard has been turned on & before pairing the devices? Please confirm if this's defective? Thank you.

Mine works great. What keys do not work? If you are trying to use the 2nd blue functions on the keyboard you need to push the blue fn button first. If this isn't the problem then I suggest contacting the manufacturer. You may have gotten a defective one.

Try the Fn key (bottom left keyboard) & monitor switch key up (top left keyboard) at the same time see what happens? If not you might have a defective screen.

Yeah, I have the E II. I'm looking for a different one now. As a keyboard it's not bad but I wish that the keys themselves were backlit and not the whole undercarriage(?) It served me well for as long as I had it, I just need better backlighting.

I believe the keyboard light should only be blue. Both charging and when on. I would box that one up and send it right back for a replacement.

Hi Ron, The first thing I would do is make sure the keyboard is fully charged. If the red light is on then you need to recharge the keyboard. If the light is blue (charged) I would make sure the bluetooth feature is enabled. You would do that by checking your settings. Once those two things are working properly you should be able to use it again if it worked before. Good luck with that!

Back light is toggled on/off with a button on the keyboard. As far as I know, there is no way to time it. You can customize the colors and switch them with the profile and macro keys.

I just got mine for my macbook air yesterday, and the backlight does not show through the keys. You can see the light around the keys, but the letters themselves don't light up.

I just received mine yesterday. The one I have has a backlit keyboard. When you first power on the device the keyboard backlight comes on, then after a moment or two of no use the light flashes briefly before then turning the backlight on. Just pressing keys does NOT turn the backlight on again. If you want the backlight again, there is a button on the side of the keyboard that lights the keyboard up again.

If the "letter" keys aren't working, the device is possibly defective, however if you mean "top row" as in the Function (F1, F2, etc.) Keys, then you'll need to first press & hold the "Fn" key (lower left in K/B), then press the desired F# key (top row).

The backlight doesn't show up through the letters but does on the outline of each key in the keyboard.

The keyboard is the issue with no light. The simple solution to that is to change the keyboard to one that has a cap locks indicator light. There are many Bluetooth keyboards that do have the indicator lights. I hope this helps.

Yes that appears to be correct. I tried it and mine stayed on but to get it to come on I had to press and hold the fn key and the right arrow for 3-5 seconds then it stayed on. If you then repeat that action it will turn it of. The Azio slim LED backlit keyboard is outstanding. DM

all keys on the front are backlighted...ist a combination of hitting the "function" key and the "backlight" key.
