I just recently received this keyboard. My F5 key is not lit up when I have it fully lit. Do I have a dead led?

I believe so. I messed with different lighting modes and could not produce what you are describing.

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

About the key board being lit, unfortunately that is not the case. But the touch screen is very lively, any slight vibration and the home screen lights up! Hope this helps!

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.

I thought i had a dead light quite a few times, one key would just be off. I resolved the issue by un plugging the keyboard and then replugging it and it fixed it though.

Mine works fine and the keys havent come lose. Check nearby devices that interfere? Check keyboard battery? Exchange/return it?

The F5 key turns the backlight on and off. I think in order to use the F keys for their usual functions you have to press another key too, like the fn key but I have not tried that yet. Pressing the keys on their own does the things pictured on them instead, like keyboard light, volume and mute, and stuff like that.

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.

I've had an issue with the letters not showing up after I pressed the keyboard. I realized that either the battery was low/dying or I was covering the 'red light' signal at the top when I was holding it.

Try the function "FN" key with the "Z" key. On my laptop it switches through one of 3 modes each time I hit function + z: keys lit for 10 seconds after last press, keys always lit, and key lights always off.

The "LED indicator" is just a little light under a tiny panel under the on/off switch. On mine, a blue light comes on when it needs a charge. When I plug it in, a little red light comes on. When it's done, it goes out. Here's the thing, though; the keyboard sleeps when not in use for a couple of minutes extending the battery life for so long that I have only charged mine twiceand one of those two times was when I first received it. The battery life is incredible.

Sounds like it's not the right keyboard for your laptop. My keys are not lit, but if the only difference is lighted keys vs non, I would try it and just not connect the power plug, if it's just power it might work.

On the one I got, the keys unfortunatey didn't light up. But the logo down at the bottom of the keyboard glowed blue.

Kent...UPDATE to my Post under C. Watts - I was able to reinstall the keyboard and get the F5 key to work. While the quality of materials is lower on the current generation of keyboards, mine is working fine and the quality is acceptable. As far as spacebar issues and such, I think it's just a break-in period you have to go through. And truthfully, this is the best layout of a keyboard I've ever used. I use it every day, all day long and just would not want to be without the split design.

What a great question. I never noticed the issue until you brought it up. All my keys units light up well and evenly except the 2,5,8, and 9 keys, which are still visible in a darkened room, but clearly much dimmer. Thanks for bringing this up.

It is not charged up enough. I had the same issue and once I charged it, problem fixed! When it's plugged in, make sure the light comes on to indicate that it is charging. I absolutely love this keyboard. Don't give up on it.
