Is there a backlight for the display? If not, what is the function of the center button (yellow star symbol inside of circle)?

No it's not back lit. I am sorry but I don't know where my instructions are. I have tried it with several combinations and it's not apparent what it's function is.

No backlight just dark numbers againsta light background. In good light, thecontrast is fine. Great little tool.

Yes and no. The unit has a backlight mode. The problem is enabling it requires a two key push button sequence. From that point forward pushing any key briefly illuminates the screen. The unit then defaults back to the unlit mode after some inactive period. I have trouble remembering the key sequence and so can not reliably activate the backlight. Altogether I'd say the key controls throughout this unit are very non intuitive.

Yes, there is definitely an on/off switch for the backlight - it's above the delete button. Btw been happy with this product so far.

No, the screen isn't backlit, and there is no way to make it light up, at least as far as I can tell. The numbers are kind of dim; I think people with poor eyesight would have a problem reading them. I got this stopwatch because it was the least expensive and simplest I could find, but it doesn't have the niceties of a more expensive one. It suits my needs, but you might want to look for something better. Good luck!

Yes. When you push the right arrow and tap the center backlight button, you can toggle between 1. m/s - 2. ft./min - 3.km/h - 4. mph 5. kt - 6. B.

Dear Customer, you can press FN+PAUSEBREAK to switch backlight color but we are afraid it could not be all purple as our listing showed. sorry.

The image is misleading. The display DOES NOT light up/have a backlight. The contrast can be adjusted - that's it.

This doesn't have backlights, unless you count the capslock button or screen lock button led as a "backlight."

No backlighting besides the steel series name on top, can't tell u how it is compared to the mad catz never owned it, but FYI this isn't a mechanical key keyboard the benefit of the keyboard is the switchable key sets

So far we have answers of green backlight, yellow and no backlight. Which is it? Does it have a backlit screen?

The display can be seen in the dark, there are lights but I don't think it's backlit and I did not see a brightness adjustment so I don't believe there is one.

Yes, there is a large oval shaped button in lower center portion labled "LIGHT" which you press lightly. It then lights up the entire screen with a soft orange-white light.

To answer regarding brightness.. The "blue" circle n fw/rw buttons you see is only what will be lit up. It will show about as much as you see it! I think its enough to see in dark.. Its also going to be next to/close to you on your dash board (left of stereo right of steering wheel)So its easy access!

There is no back light. I have been able to see the readout in twilight, though, but not much after sunset. It does provide a continuous power readout - and you can smooth the power readings. Note that this unit is an older legacy version - but fully functional and upgradable to their latest firmware (5.0) for $50. It works as advertised with or without the firmware upgrade.

No it doesn't. There's no built in back light. Sorry. It only displays the name of the song and who's it by.
