How good is the backlight? Does the back light illuminate through the letters? Any disatisfaction with the backlighting?

Yes lit illuminates through the letters. We loved it for our mini so I bought another for an Ipad2 for my brother. No problems with it

The backlight feature works great I can see the keys given in the dark. I've had no problems with this keyboard and then use it all the time

No backlight, it's in the laptop led lamps on a foil attached to the old keyboard inside. I changed it and the transplantation was a success. Be patient with 62 screws ;)

It's not to bad. If the sun is shining right on it, it is a little hard to see. I have noticed that if I turn the backlight on, it makes it easier to see.

I agree the backlite is faint. It is not a problem for me but, I definitely agree it is not very bright.

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.

The letters on the keys are dark, and you can see them perfectly when the keys are lit. I use it in a dark room at night, and I can look down and see any key I want. You'd be very pleased, I think!

It illuminates around the keys, but not through the letters. The lettering on the cover doesn't exactly match the placement of the letters on the keys, so my letters are covered up by the colored portion of the colors. I do want to find a new keyboard cover for that reason, but I find that between the light from the screen and what shows through around the keys, I have no problem typing in the pitch darkness.

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

I think its fine but think of amount of backlight. May not be as bright as you desire.

The lights of this model only iluminate when you press the button upside. The light is good, but if you use in a dark room the internal light can be see due transparence of the starship disk (plate). I see in internet somne people that paint with balck ink spray the internal part of the plastic to avoid this lost of light. I wait to explain to you correctly, ok? The sound is very clear, whitout problems in this sense.

No. It does not. I'm happy with mine. But, if you need backlighting, it won't work for you.

No, the screen is no backlighted. But the characters are good sized and it is black on white. Still visible unless you are in a very low light/dark location.

This light shows through on the edges of the letters. It is possible to see the letters in the dark, but it is not %100 clear. Hope that helps!

There is no lighting in the keyboard at all, however, the screen is brightly lit so I have no problem at all seeing the keyboard. Hope this answers your question.

no, it is not backlit....I actually use it with a monitor and wireless keyboard. Performance has been good....knock on wood!

It's not really designed for gaming, but excellent for general use and programming. Light gaming has no issues, but if you want something more suited for gaming, you'd probably be better off using another keyboard. There is no backlight.
