Is the keyboard lighted and if so, is the brightness adjustable?

Yes... The keyboard is back-lit and can be turned on or off with a key-stroke.

No it is not illuminated. If that's a biggie for you, you can check out the Logitech K800. It has illumination.

No it's not illuminated. There are small lights at the top of the keyboard that when on indicate Number Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock, that's all.

No the keyboard has no backlight but the keys are bright white on a black background so are easily visible in low light.

YES, it is! You wouldn't know it from reading the product specs sheet, but it definitely is. In fact, the keyboard backlight is on by default (when you get the computer). If you want to turn it off to save battery power simply hit the Function key (Fn) plus the F9 key.

No it doesn't. Actually the little keys can be harder to see in low light than some other keyboards. The screen is bright enough to vaguely light the way, but you should be very good at typing to use it easily. If you plan on one finger typing in the dark much, I wouldn't recommend this model.

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.

There is a function key on both sides of the keyboard on the bottom, and controls on the F Keys at the top to adjust screen brightness, volume, and keyboard back light. You can make it as bright as you want, and turn it off completely.

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.

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.

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

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!

Yes the keyboard is back lit, it goes dark when not using it to conserve battery life, but as soon as something is touche it lights up.

No, no lights at all but a great combo and the keyboard is very responsive - a nice touch.

I bought the keyboard described as Ivation Letter Illuminated Large Print Full Size Multimedia Computer Keyboard - Gentle, Crisp & Clear Blue LED Lights Illuminate Each Key with Adjustable Brightness As it says it is adjustable for brightness. It is not adjustable for color. There is a button where you can cycle from full brightness, less bright, less bright and off. I really like the letters in a blue LED coloring. The light appears to shine through a stencil like cut out in each black key. So I don't think I'll wear the letters off the keys as I did with my last few regular keyboards.

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