are the buttons backlit on the 6162? if so, will they time out and become dark after a certain amount of time with a vista 20p panel?

yes the keys are backlit in the 6162. They can be programmed to time out after a certain period of time.

I can't answer that question right now. I do know that my unit is dark and does not emit any disturbing display light whatsoever.

Back light is toggled on/off with a button on the keyboard. As far as I know, there is no way to time it. You can customize the colors and switch them with the profile and macro keys.

Yes, it's normal. The LEDs are strobing on and off so there's less light output. The panel itself can only refresh at 240hz so the strobing is used to produce an apparent faster update rate. I don't recommend any option in the Motion Enhancement menu higher than 120hz. The 240 option does some bad things to both color and video noise.

The maximum time out option for the display is 20 seconds, but you can turn off the screen saver. Yes, the screen is completely dark when timed out.

Yes. If you press "home" button, then scroll down to "settings" and press "enter," then scroll to the right to "preferences" and press "enter," then scroll down to "front panel illumination" and select "off." That should do it.

Yes. The buttons are clearly marked and visible. They do not glow in the dark, but are back lit. My only complaint is that the screen does not reflect glare well.

To my knowledge only their gaming laptops are backlit. I wish Asus was petitioned to add a backlit keyboard to all their higher end products.

Back light can be off, low, medium, high and "breathing" mode, where it fades from brightest to dimmest and back again.I had no problems with BIOS and this is the keyboard I used to set up my last build.

The majority of the buttons are just black and do not light up. However, the TV power and the All Power buttons light up when pressed.

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.

They are adjustable, and have many modes between which keys are backlit. I find that I use them on the lowest setting, and the keys themselves are not overly annoying in dark rooms on this setting. On bright settings, they can be quite bright. I'm typing this response right now in a dark room with no other lights on, and on the dimmest setting (out of 5 levels) they certainly aren't brighter than my monitor light. I usually use the keyboard on this setting, and it never distracts me from gaming sessions, if that's what you are worried about.

Didn't notice any back light. I believe it's just black numbers against grey screen.

The backlight comes on when certain changes are made - stays on for a while then goes out. The time and station are still indicated however, just no backlight.

Not quite. It has one light for the windows button (which on mine was leaking thru the LCD) and pretty dim. The back and search buttons did not have it.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model. Hope that still helps. Thanks! ~D

I installed the 6160 On a vista 20p and it works fine. There should be a label in your control that identifies if it is a 15 or 20.
