does the keyboard cover allow the keys to been seen at night with the backlight?

Well in need to really see them I need to turn the light at maximum level so yes kind of.

It does partially obscure the keyboard backlighting (I got the clear one, rather than black one) thinking it might work in the dark; it blocks much of the key lighting). I only use it in lighted conditions to reduce dust on/in the keys. I do not keep beverages nearby, but if someone does, it could provide protection in case of a spill (like at a coffee shop, a cafe or restaurant). I do like the shell casing I purchased as well. The bottom case has rubber pads that stabilizes the laptop on a smooth surface.

Yep. This gets rid of all backlighting. You can still see the edge of the keys, but cannot read the key any longer.

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.

No it's not, I thought it was when I bought it. That is what I really wanted because I couldn't the keys at night on the keyboard before. I can see the keys on this one better than the other one I had. I don't have any problem with it so far. i love it.

It does not appear to. I have not looked into it extensively, there may be a way to switch them on. But the default is not a backlit keyboard.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

Yes the keyboard light shows through the keys. You can see every button perfectly if you apply the stickers properly. Just make sure you look at the f1-f12 stickers that are on the top of the keyboard so you put them in the right places.

Backlighting is pretty good, most of the keys are easy to see in the dark. It is a function button that toggles it on or off and it stays that way as long as it is charged.

Yes. It isnt completly clear but it allows the keys to shine through even at the lowest setting for the backlight.

No, the key board is not back lit. It's a nice keyboard if you have small hands.

I just got mine for my macbook air yesterday, and the backlight does not show through the keys. You can see the light around the keys, but the letters themselves don't light up.

Keys don't have a backlight, it lights up near the combatant-x in the middle of the keyboard, near the top right hand side, and the sides of the keyboard, very good keyboard, would recommend it.

There are small lights at the top to indicate caps lock etc but nothing is lit behind the keys, if that is what you are asking.

Yes. It has an easy keyboard that is backlit making it easier to see the keyboard. It is easy to use.

The Key's do not glow, Except around the rubberized media keys on the sides, There is a front and back light as well as one Keyboard logo in the top right. They have a medium brightness effect good enough that it can make an impression from a distance, but not too light that it would be annoying or distracting.

The lighted keys on mine are not very bright, but I can see them clearly when the room is dark.

I cannot see the backlights in the dark. They are lit around each key and are visible in low light situations, but in complete darkness it would be difficult to see keys, other than their silhouette.
