Is this a luetooth based keyboard. Will it use power heavily?

On the very top of the keyboard is the dock that the tablet clicks into. It's not bluetooth. It does not use too much power. Hope this helps

No it's not a Bluetooth based keyboard. It is designed to be used with the Asus transformer pad only. No it does not use power heavily, it is actually an extra power source for the tablet.

No. There is a physical connection between the keyboard and the ASUS Pad. I just checked it. When you charge the keyboard you are also charging the PAD because of the physical connection (by the way, the connection it the same as the charging plug).

Well, we know that the voltage is 12v DC @ 1.5 amps for the keyboard. But I wouldn't try it. How many amps are coming from the battery? If it matches and the wiring is center pin positive, I then can see no problem.

This keyboard is not back lit. I bought this for a friend to repair his keyboard on his laptop. This keyboard is not backlit for sure

No, backlit keyboards are typically on the ultrabooks from HP that run for a lot more money.

No a listed keyboard is way better Logitech sells a great key board that has adjustable lights very nice build and only about 62$.if your still wanting a usb amazon sells one that's has a dimmable settings, I like goal Zero there yeti 1200 great back up and great battery's and solar flash lights but this one they kinda dropped the ball , don't get me wrong it works but I'm buying ones that are dimmable. But in a pinch it works just kinda picky when used with my laptop wants to unplug from the weight. D

I use the logitech illuminated keyboard (awesome keyboard). The 2 kvm switched I listed above work with mine. I'm not sure about all function keys ( I didn't install the logitech software). The back lighting does work.

No, it is not. Mine went haywire on me after a week or, so. I got a new one after that. Keys did not respond properly. The lights were not really blue, either. More of a light blue, almost white.

The keyboard is backlit, but you will need to adjust the power settings if you want the backlighting on while on battery.

This keyboard is pretty powerful - sometimes you can even feel the power in your lap!

It's not a mechanical keyboard. The LED was kinda dim. I ended up replacing it with a much better keyboard.

It will go into sleep mode from inactivity, but you should probably shut it off if you remember. It will help with the battery life. The key pad is not backlit. I like it a lot. It was referred to me by one of my techie friends and about six of us have purchased them. The keys are firm and more like a regular keyboard. I don't like the soft keys. Also amazon has the best prices on them. I'm glad I bought it.

I have not yet discovered the end of the battery. I recently used the keyboard for 4hrs 7 mins straight, and it seemed to be fine. I could not tell if it was low on power reserve! It is a great little keyboard with a big keyboard feel. I highly recommend it. By the way it only works when connected vi bluetooth or maybe USB cable. SO little power is used until keystrokes are made.

I agree. Only the power button is backlit. OfficeMax advertises it as a backlit keyboard, but that is wrong. Yikes!

I know it has back-lit keyboard when it's plugged into power source. Couple of times when I used the computer powered by battery only, I noticed that the backlighting did not come on.

No, you still have to push the power button. If you have been using the keyboard you also need to turn the power off.

They keyboard is very light...but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking. The computer itself is actually quite heavy by today's standards, but I have an toshiba portege, so I'm spoiled.
