Has anyone tried these on a backlit keyboard? I want to know how much these rings will change my red backlighting before i pay $18 for them.

I put them on my Corsair Vengeance K95 which has white backlighting. The bottom of the letters is slightly dimmer but you have to look closely to see it ( I actually removed the O-ring from one of the keys and compared it to an adjacent key before I noticed it ). It probably would not be noticeable with red lighting.The improvement in sound and feel was definitely worth it.

I haven't tried them with a backlit keyboard personally, but I have read that if you do have a backlit keyboard that you should use clear O-rings.

Hi, I have Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard with blue backlight and the rings don't affect it at all.

The rubber goes on the stem way above where the LEDs would be able to hit / bottom out, they work fine with LEDs ^^

Depends on the keycaps. If the backlight comes through the cap toward an edge, these will work fine. They work especially well with my Corsair K95 as well.

they shouldn't effect the brightness of the lighting, they set at the bottom of the key shaft and are thin not enough material to block any light

The keys DO NOT light up on the keyboard included in this bundle. The area around the keys illuminates. If you would like illuminated keys on the same keyboard design, buy the model that changes colors. Its title is, "LED Illuminated Ergonomic USB Multimedia Backlight Backlit Gaming Keyboard (3 Colors)." I bought both.

true story- the keyboard works great practically/mechanically.. but the feature set (that adds value and subsequently justifies the price) is not functional. LEDs don't matter, you're right- but when they go out after a month of normal use, i begin to question the value-added price i paid for the features - that's all.

I have had these on my keyboard for about 9 months when they started to wear through the common letters, s,t,a,r,e. (Daily 8-12 hour constant use) Interestingly the letter portion sits to the upper left corner so even though they are wearing through in the center I can still see the letters. I will probably give them another month or so and try replacing them again. So for $50 keyboards to get another 9-12 mos I would say is worth the trouble.

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

I wouldn't bother as it's a waste of money. They don't stay on the keyboard. They interfer with the functionality of the keyboard. Save your money seriously. Mine just sits on my desk collecting dust.

I have these stickers and they work well, except I cut up the Dvorak 'U' and 'H' stickers and placed the blue U and H at the top of the key so as to not cover up the little bumps which help you to keep your fingers aligned with the keyboard. I recommend that you do the same, or the bumps will disappear (you'll never realize how much you miss them until they are gone!). Regarding obtaining the stickers, doesn't Amazon ship internationally? I can't imagine the shipping cost from the US to the UK would be that great. Maybe just go for it, eh? I also recommend buying some extra sheets of decals...they are cheap and you never know if you will whiff on placing a sticker or two when you put them on, or if one will peel off in the future. Good luck, and enjoy your stickers! GO DVORAK!

Same as John below. I use them on a 160 LED set-up and love 'em!!!! They hold a charge forever with no Flicker or gradual decline. When they are Maxed out, they just go out instead of changing Color temp or brightness. They are awesome!

This keyboard is NOT back lit. It's a solid keyboard though. I've been using a Logitech G110 keyboard for over a year (it's back lit with hotkeys) and that is also solid keyboard. I've spilled orange juice and soda on the keys and they eventually got unstuck. Granted it was $100 at the time and it still is, you can find a $60 version of a Logitech backlit keyboard. By the way, the lights on it are blue and red so anything that is within that color spectrum you can adjust the back light on the Logitech keyboard. Hope I could help!

There is a backlit key board available. I'm sure they will be showing up on eBay soon !

Jennifer, they didn't work at all for me. The lamps would not stay on. I bought them because the swiitches on our lamps kept stripping out. We would up just having the switches replaced. The dimmers went in the "i bought it but it doesn't work" graveyard.

This is not a mechanical keyboard. The LED backlight is also not very bright. The brightest light on the keyboard is the Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock indicator lights. The key backlighting is actually very dull, and in the dark, your display will likely wash out the light anyway rendering it essentially useless.

I checked online and asked how to determine if my keyboard has a back light. I pushed the Fn key and space bar at the same time and it did not enable or disable any light. I assume that there is no back light on the keyboard.

Never tried, really, hardly notice them with my hand over the mouse. For the money, I am overall very pleased with this mouse, it is sensitive, accurate, even my Skype game buddies noticed an improvement in my accuracy right away. For 10 bucks, who cares about the lights? Very low power draw, I suppose if you don't like them, you could just snip the wire to the first light I'm sure they're serially arrayed. I'll try to install the software, which I never did initially, just plugged in and jumped back in the team, back to you, give me a day.

Anti ghosting and the keyboard light up green through out the whole keyboard each key is individually lit up green. Basically your paying extra for the green lights personally i liked it alot the green backlit very awesome!

Hello Hanson. The keyboard is currently not back-lit. I am not sure if you can purchase one that does do that. The only other thing that I have come across for the back-lit option was the Razer Edge keyboard, but those are not currently available.
