Hi Eric, Thanks for your interest! Unfortunately, this model doesn't have a backlit keyboard.

YES! It definitely has a backlit keyboard. It turns itself off after not using the keyboard for a while, maybe after one minute of non-use. But as soon as you touch a key it light up again. The lighting is quite a nice feature. I've had my Aspire M5 for several weeks now and am very happy with my choice. No complaints.

Bought this laptop for my daughter. She has not mentioned that it had a backlit keyboard. I as as I know the keyboard is not backlit.

If you mean whether there is light under the keyboard, no.It's not an Alienware, my friend.

Mine is. Pushing F5 toggles the backlight on or off. I bought the refurbished model here on Amazon. I believe the standard model does not have backlit keyboard.

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 backlight, it's in the laptop led lamps on a foil attached to the old keyboard inside. I changed it and the transplantation was a success. Be patient with 62 screws ;)

No the keyboard is not back lighted. This has been a very good laptop, we have two.

Hi, no....it doesn't have backlit keys, but I would still recommend it over most any other keyboard (unless you spend the majority of your time in the dark)

It does not have a backlit keyboard, but the touch pad mouse and the area around the power cord port light up, as well as the power button.

No. The keyboard is not backlit and I wouldn't recommend trying to use it in complete darkness.

For some reason when I bought it I thought the keyboard was backlit but it is not. I bought my wife a AirMac which has a lighted keyboard

No the keyboard has no backlight but the keys are bright white on a black background so are easily visible in low light.

Hi, the keyboard is back lit. The battery life is reasonably good just over a couple of hours.
