It is not illuminated (I do not have windows 8 so I cannot say if it is compatible or not)

Works fine with Win 8, brand of computer shouldn't matter. However, it's NOT illuminated.

This is not the quad edition and there is not a backlit keyboard. The one thing I can tell you is that I bought it with Windows 8. When prompted to upgrade to Windows 8.1, the computer crashed. I sent the computer back, since it was within the one year warranty period. They wiped my hard drive of files, pictures, software. It was sad. That does not mean that I will buy another HP, but I am holding my breath. I need to buy two more computers and I would not buy Windows 8....maybe 8.1, maybe 7.

Yes, the keyboard is illuminated. You can actually change the keyboard to a variety of colors. There are also lights along the front which the colors can be also changed.

At this time, "Lightscribe Software" will not work with Windows 8. Hopefully, HP will correct this in the future.

Yes. It is compatible with Windows 8, But I do not recommend this product. Sometimes you have to press the buttons pretty hard on the keyboard in order for them to type correctly. The mouse works great but the keyboard is frustrating to work with. Hope this helps

I believe it is. I currently use Windows 7 and it works marvelously with this keyboard. It should work very well also with Windows 8.

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.

Check to make sure you are not trying to use a USB 3.0 slot because that could be causing your trouble. Otherwise, this is a standard USB keyboard and should not have any troubles with Windows 8. Hope that helps.

Yes it is, just be sure to get the correct keyboard lay out; tact is fine and does not get that "oily" feeling.

Yes it is compatible with any operating system that has usb and as far as I know all windows, mac, android and Linux do. However the keyboard and E-Blue Mouse LED lights do not turn off with the Computer. You will have to unplug the keyboard to turn off the LED lights. This may not be a problem if no one is sleeping in the room with the computer.
