Make sure you have accessed Bluetooth in settings and turned it to "on" on iPad. Then when you turn keyboard on there should be a blue flash , but light will then go out. Then Try pushing the round button on the very top of the keyboard. There are no directions to do this but it seems to make the keyboard discoverable to the the iPad. Once you push that button iPad should ask if you want to sync keyboard to iPad. When you tell it yes it should work!

The light is suppose to turn on automatically when your computer is on and the keyboard is connected . If light doesn't turn on then that means the keyboard is probably defective, hope this helps

Suzannah, I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell the light comes on at first on both occasions but then shuts off. I mentioned this in my review there should be some indicators showing keyboard on, charging or needs charging. I also found that if there is a small lapse of time in typing, the keyboard goes to sleep and it takes 3 to 5 seconds to reconnect.

All the keys light up for me. None of the different lighting modes just dim the F5 key. I think you should return it.

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

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

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.

I have had it work just fine, but now I can't get it to work. Could someone talk me through the process. It is charged, I turned on the keyboard. In my settings I have it Bluetooth enabled and connected to nearby devices. I've paired it and waited for the blue light to stop blinking. But it still isn't working. Am I doing something out of order?

My unit came with a cord that plugs into the keyboard on the right side just below the on/off switch. The other side of the cord is a USB, which I plug into an adapter that I already owned (came with my tablet). The adapter plugs into a wall socket. While the unit is charging, a red light comes on under the word "charge" at the top right of the keyboard. Once charged completely, this light turns off.

Nobody responded in the last week so I'll provide an update myself (Boomer). I purchased the cheapest lighted keyboard I could find (not the Saitek) to test it with my KVM switch. Bottom line: everything works great. I thought if the light caused the switch not to operate properly, I could just turn the light off when activating the switch. In fact, that wasn't necessary (at least for the keyboard I purchased).

I had the same issue, the keyboard never connected again. It's a piece of trash, get your money back if you can

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.

the keyboard has to be turned on and connected to your tablet with Bluetooth. This is an indication that your hooked up. It must be ready to go, when you start typing the backlight comes on the top of the keys when you stop typing the light goes off in about 2 sec. If your not connected with Bluetooth,the keyboard doesn't light up at all.
