I have become very dependant on backlit keyboards; how viewable is the keyboard in dark lighting conditions?

Obviously, this doesn't support backlit, and if you are used to seeing and typing with the backlit keyboard, this may be something that you will have to do without. Personally, I am willing to trade the power used for backlighting the keyboard to some more time of core computing. Of course, the need differs from person to person.

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.

Well, its a black keyboard with black keys so in the dark, no. During the day they are quite visible. I would call the backlighting subtle, it isn't super bright and during daylight its hardly noticeable. Personally I don't like a keyboard that is blazingly bright. It might be nice if there were intensity levels, but that's a lot to ask in this price range. I will say this is a great keyboard, a pleasure to work with and it is very difficult to find keyboards with orange back lighting. My only complaint is that it is compact and so the del/home etc keys are in odd places. Other than that it is speedy for typing and comfortable for gaming.

No, it is not backlighted, however the white letters on the black key background makes visibility pretty good in low light.

No, it's not backlit bright enough to type in complete darkness. What they meant by "backlit", is that on the top of the keyboard, it shows if the battery is fully charged, which is illuminated, but far from the degree to see the keyboard in complete darkness.

No, the keyboard is not backlit. It is flat matte just as the pictures show. :)

The keyboard does not have backlight ability. The text font on the keys give it that illusion but it does not.

I guess I should be more specific. Anyone find a KVM that will allow this keyboard to light up? It will work as a standard non-lit keyboard with any KVM but no backlight and what good is that?

On, they highest setting they are pretty bright, but they can be dimmed down quite a bit too. I like the breathing mode and I don't find it too bright even in a dark room while gaming. This is the best back lit keyboard I have ever owned.

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

You can. Simply press the button labeled "LED Illumination" at the top right of the keyboard. To change the light color, press the "scroll" key. The problem here is that the keys are difficult to see when they lights are off, as there is no white outline of the letters and a clear, translucent material instead. You should also know that the right shift key and backspace key have a problem with sticking down. It can be a pain.

Yes, the keyboard does light up in the dark!! When we got it, it was on by default so we never had to set/change anything for it to work. Good PC at a good price; nothing wrong with it! My Daughter uses it for Schoolwork and other stuff, and is very happy with it; however it is a bit weak for gaming.....Good luck!

I am not familiar with other models, but yes, a soft blue light is just visible under the keyboard.

It's not a great option for a backlit keyboard. The keys are black with white lettering. Your best bet would be to get the clear skin so that way your keys with back lighting should work.

I dont seem to have that issue at all. Backlight is very even on light and dark backgrounds.

You can custom build it to have or not have backlit keyboard. This feature tacks on a good bit to price, but worth it!
