Is the flexible neck long enough to light the entire keyboard of a 17" laptop without obscuring any of the display screen?

it may be a bit of a opinion on whether it obstructs the screen or not but I have been very pleased with the product. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a backlit keyboard. Best of luck.

Hi TSR, I just realized Amazon is wrong. I do own this same kind of light but mine is not 16"...I think it's 12". The 16" s/b fine even if u hv side ports. Only thing, u may need to wrap it around the back n over the top coz there's no way its gonna stay upright unless they've made the neck a lot stronger.

Yes, if your USB port is in the back of your laptop. From the side, it starts to droop. Fortunately, my laptop tray has an adaptor for the USB port behind it.

The light supplies plenty of even lighting across the length of my 17" keyboard. I plug the light on the left side of the laptop since I am right handed. It is bright enough that I extend the head 4" further left from the laptop. I think you will be pleased.I am.

It fits into the palm of my hand.... maybe 3 inches long at the most. Not sure what you mean by flexible but it doesn't have a cord and has 1 battery. Ive used it for 5 months and prefer it over using a touchpad on the laptop! I have nothing bad to say about it and the on and off switch is very good. It does not turn on or off by itself when the computer and mouse are in the carrying bag.

Yes, it does. It's great, and people always have good comments about it. Although you won't see all of the characters printed on the laptop's keyboard even with the brightness to the max... you shouldnt be looking down while you type anyway. Hope I helped !_!

the thought of this scenario amuses me so much it makes me wonder if this question is a joke. :) i suppose there are us cases i have not considered. as noted int the image of the user, the laptop is open to an obtuse angle. if it is flipped around the laptop opening is mildly acute. this could make viewing the screen somewhat difficult if they were in a standing position right up to the keyboard. if they were standing a few feet back or were close but at a sitting level they should be fine for viewing but this would make using the keyboard somewhat difficult.

Yes but it's really shoddy, the backlight is positioned away from the middle of the keys so you can really see the difference between the top part of the letter and the bottom and there is no light around the edges of each key like there ought to be. I'm really sorry I bought this laptop.

It's as long as a full size desktop keyboard. So if it's going to extend well past the edge of the laptop; other than that there's not reason you couldn't use it as long as your laptop was on a desk/table/etc.

Yes. You can also toggle off the keyboard lighting in case you want to conserve energy.

no. it is a cheap laptop, it does not have backlight keyboard, most $400 + HP laptops does have it.

No; however, it's not something I miss. If you're going to play it as a tablet you're keyboard is folded back. If you're going to use it as a laptop the light from the screen should suffice. It's all about preferences. I love this thing.

Hi Diane. We agree to what the other users said. This is like a laptop keyboard.

Yes. This makes a perfect night light. Flexible neck allows you to position light so that illumination is directed away from you and reduced. Light operates as long as your computer is powered on. You may have to change your settings so the computer does not go into "sleep" mode or "shuts down" after a few minutes. Most computers can be set to stay on for 8 hours before shutdown or to even stay on indefinitely. Low wattage LEDs save on power consumption.

No. There is a small light above the screen that does a poor job (compared to a backlit keyboard) of illuminating the keys. Since I rarely use the T410s in a dark room, this was not an important feature for me. I also have a MacBook Air with an excellent backlit keyboard.

Yes The neck is flexible. point it to the area you want to light and it will be more than adequately illuminated

No not large, just light up. what you are looking for is called EZ See Large Print Keyboard. I have both. and the EZ see has bigger keys and easy to use.

The neck is not flexible. It does have two light levels. A very good and easy light for my purpose. I needed a battery operated light.

It's almost exactly the same size as a 14" laptop's keyboard. I like the feel and the 7 different colors of back lighting is cool. Highly recommended!!!!

you mean light? the keyboard is not illuminated. But it is soft and not heavy.
