is the keyboard back lit

No the keyboard is not back lit. You need to look for it in the description. I bought one of the more souped up versions two years ago with all the bells and whistles. I bought this one as a Christmas gift. Small differences one of them being the backlight. I didn't think it would matter for the person I bought it for and it didn't. But when I set it up I noticed it. I like the backlit board better. If your really want that feature they do have them just make sure you find it in the description of the item being sold. Not the generic Dell ad that they show you on the sites.

I agree totally with the response from J. Barton, and no, the keyboard is not back lit.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

Hello Hanson. The keyboard is currently not back-lit. I am not sure if you can purchase one that does do that. The only other thing that I have come across for the back-lit option was the Razer Edge keyboard, but those are not currently available.

Keyboard is backlit and has varying degrees of brightness and the back light can even be turned off if u so desire

YES, it is! You wouldn't know it from reading the product specs sheet, but it definitely is. In fact, the keyboard backlight is on by default (when you get the computer). If you want to turn it off to save battery power simply hit the Function key (Fn) plus the F9 key.

The keyboard is not backlit. I touch type and know where the keys are but on occasion when my husband uses it he just tips the screen down a little and the light of the screen is sufficient to see the keys.

Yeah there is. If this laptop is been using without any lights on, it will have bright purple(?) light on the keyboard. It looks beautiful honestly.

you mean light? the keyboard is not illuminated. But it is soft and not heavy.

no lights on keyboard, screen is super bright so I don't have a problem with not seeing the keys in the dark

The keyboard does have a Caps light but the one I have is not wireless. Hope this helps.

it is not back-lit, but is very good otherwise. the screen of my Nexus 7 lights the keyboard well enough.

Yep, typing on it right now in the dark. It is back lit to the color of your choosing, it can even cycle through colors... but that is distracting. And, yes it looks just like that photo. The only keys that are not back lit are the thumb mod keys below the spacebar.

No. My laptop did not have a back light and I do not recall there being any wires to plug in to on the keyboard.

The keyboard isn't backlit, the only lit button is the power button on the interior.

No the keyboard is not back lighted. This has been a very good laptop, we have two.

The keys do not have any lights. But there are lights on the sides of the keyboard and one at the top where the logo is. It's a bargain keyboard, they cut back on some things but the tactiles are wonderful.

I know it has back-lit keyboard when it's plugged into power source. Couple of times when I used the computer powered by battery only, I noticed that the backlighting did not come on.
