how does keyboard light up?

The letters and symbols are clear where the rest of the surface of each key is black. The blue light shines through the clear letter or symbol on each key.

The lights are backlit and it looks really pretty. However, the keyboard is horrible! The keys are hard to use and if you type fast you won't be able to with this keyboard. I gave mine to a little three year old who doesn't know that pounding the keys isn't the way to type!

No it does not have lights to indicate those but if Windows autodetects the keyboard and installed the drivers and utility (which it always shld since it is a Microsoft product) for it then it get an onscreen notification every time you turn caps and num lock on and off..

No, the keypad does not light up. It is really a very basic box. No gimmicks, no frills.

It's a standard wireless keyboard. The only "light" is on the USB dongle which indicates the usage of the keyboard as you type when it's connected.

If you mean do the keys glow in the dark, they don't. I tilt my screen down to type making it hard to see screen.

Sorry, didn't keep this keyboard to say for sure. Found this on Youtube explaining the illumination features. But, maybe there's a company telephone number that you can call? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPMh9yzAxoo

Yes it does. And you can change the light brightness on the keyboard. FN+F11 and F12.

Hello Larry, unfortunately the keyboard is not lit up. I was somewhat disappointed as well because I do a lot of typing at night, but it is a pretty good computer overall. I really do like it, and just to let you know it does get fairly warm so if you get it you might want to get the cooling pad. Hope this helped!

The keys light up. The letters also light up blue as well as under the keys. It's a pretty good mouse and keyboard I like mine.

No, however if you want to, you can pull up the touch screen keyboard. Also the screen does a pretty good job of lighting the keyboard.

This keyboard lights up all around and atop the keys in the dark or in dim light. The whole board is backlit and easy to use. This is my second of these keyboards and they are terrific. One thing I do to any keyboard is paint the keys with a strong clear nail polish as I tend to be very hard on the surface of my keyboards and can lose the letters. Hope this helps . Enjoy your keyboard.

As soon as you plug the cable into a USB port, the LED lights will come on. The keyboard draws its powerfrom the USB port. It the keys don't light, you have a bad keyboard.

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.

I'm not sure exactly what your asking but if you mean that the keyboard is lit up then my answer is no it's not.

No, The Keyboard is not visible in the dark. You must touch a key on the pad before the keyboard lights. We press any key an then press the enter key before we enter a code.

There are small lights at the top to indicate caps lock etc but nothing is lit behind the keys, if that is what you are asking.
