Hi both of these keyboards use Blue LED back lighting correct? Also this looks like it's a perfect size, however, does it have a optional palm rest?

Yes mine has the Blue backlighted keys,I have the one with the MX Cherry blue Switches,I believe most of their models do. Unfortunately a Wrist Rest doesn't come with it. You may have to get an aftermarket rest like I will have to. Luckily they are not too expensive for a decent one. Other than works great so far

Yes Blue back lights. No optional palm rest. Size is excellent compared to some clunky mechanical ones out there.

No the keyboard is not back lit. I tell you the truth my friend. My son loves it though. Wendy

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.

Thanks for the info. I deducted that from the many sources posting, but wanted to make sure. Ordered mine 2 days ago. I really like the ergonomics of the keyboard with the 'soft' keys.

mm, have owned this laptop for a couple of weeks now, and no, i haven't noticed a backlit keyboard. Unless it's an option which needs to be activated, because i haven't really sat down to study all details to the smallest. But all nites that i worked on it, it wasn't backlit. hope that helps.

Yes, the keyboard can be backlit in blue. You can also adjust the brightness of the keyboard using the F9 and F10 keys.

No backlit keyboard. I do like how the screen doesn't dim if the laptop is not plugged in. There are alternative ways to lighting a keyboard that span from DIY to purchasable additions.

The keyboard comes with a hand rest attachment so you can choose which one you want to use. So effectively both :D

No the keyboard is not backlit. I only know of Dells being backlight. This one is not a touch screen and does not have keys that you can see in the dark. I heard that it is made in Thailand, but I do not know if that is true. I have had it for 6 months, and have already had a few problems with it... the text on one side sometimes disappears, but his only happened while in facebook, and the mouse is hypersensitive all the time, and sometimes you can be typing an email or filling in an online application, and the screen just drops right in the middle of your typing for no apparent reason several times so you have to go looking for it to see where it went before you can finish and send the email. The email screen usually pops up when the screen drops, and I can't close it out. That frequent cloudlike disappearance can be very frustrating at time.

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.

No lights, no back lite, however I find it one of the most comfortable keyboards to type on vs all tested wireless/wired keyboards tested; in addition, there is no volume control on keyboard, thank you.

I just bought this laptop and I'm really liking it. I upgraded the drive to a 128 SSD and it's performing great! However, there's a sticker on the palmrest that says "Illuminated Chiclet Keyboard" and has the logo for an IF Design Award China next to it. I haven't found anything else that mentions an illuminated keyboard, and I haven't found any mention of it in the rather unhelpful manual. I was hoping someone might know something about it. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but it would be really nice if the keyboard did light up.

No backlighting at all. The only blue LED's it has is for the caps lock, and a couple others, otherwise there are no lights on the keyboard.

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.

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

Well, it does have lights when the keyboard or touchpad is activated. I bought it because of the flexibility of touchpad n keyboard combination. At the time I bought that, it doesn't have much option with the combo I'm looking for. Also the price should have drop by now. I bought it for about 100++

Yes the keyboard is backlit. You might be also interested to know that the screen has a matte finish.
