Can you set the keyboard backlighting to change based on what program or game you are running?

There are three buttons on the LCD touch screen. These buttons are basically different modes where you can have totally different key bindings and backlight coloring/brightness. I do not think (but I haven't tried, so I'm not totally sure) that you can change the color of the lighting without accessing the touch screen (i.e. automatically).That being said: I've been using a standard $20 keyboard for gaming for 5 years, and I love this gaming keyboard. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

I have one, but have seen no way to do it myself. But at least it doesn't take much reach to hit switches I, II and III. :)

To an extent, yes. The 3 silver buttons to the right of the mini display allow you to have profiles. Each profile changes to your specifications. Colors, macros, etc. Right now my top button profile is set to no light at all for when I sleep and there is no light keeping me up.The second profile is my default for just using my pc for everyday stuff. And the third is used for gaming and where my macros and what not are set up. You can hook up the numerous amounts of macro keys to anything you wish. Check out some youtube unboxing or review vids for some demonstrations on this :)Hope this helps -v To an extent, yes.

There are 3-4 different backlighting modes...one of which is completely turned off. No issues entering bios after installation. Had this keyboard for about 6 months and I love it. The only thing that's missing is volume control, but can manage without that.

I'm afraid it's unlikely. I've never seen any PC software that can modify the brightness levels of the laptop past what the built in function keys can do.

There is an option to have the keys backlit.... simply press and hold the fn key while tapping the spacebar which will either turn on or off the backlights.

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.

No, at least not from MSI. There are some backlit keyboards that you (or a reseller) could put in though

Hey, David. It's mainly the green LED back-lit keys. I recommend the expert edition though. As all it's keys are programmable, it does have the green LED back-lit keys, and it's just a lot more fun to look at. :)

I think your asking about the backlit board? To turn the keyboard light on and off hit the f5 button.

I think this would be a great idea. As of now it does not do that. I also wish you could cycle from one color to another as a whole for those of us with theme lighting. I suggest we petition Razer to get this functionality. My OCD screams at this computer now. Green keyboard and blue theme tower. ARGHHHHH!!

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.

Yes. You can do that or make home runs back to the controller or wire it however you want as long as +RGB always touch the right options.

Only the contrast of the display (the darkness of the display's lettering) can be changed. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a bright, backlit background for the letters. By pressing the MISC key to open the SETUP & MISC screen, you can use the CURSOR arrow keys [^] to select CONTRAST on the list, then use the VALUE keys [+,-] to set the contrast between "1" and "10", with "10" providing the greatest contrast. That's all that can be changed on the display, lighting-wise.

Tintin, Look for a utility called "Sharpkeys". It's a simple to use freebie that will do what you're looking for. What the program does is reassign registry values for the keys you choose. You can make practically any key on the keyboard do what you want by simply pressing the key you want to remap then either choose from a list or press a corresponding key that you want to change to. Save the change and you're good to go. The utility is used by a lot of Eee owners to remap the 'up' arrow key so it becomes a 'shift' key (negating that long reach to the right for the actual shift key). If there's going to be a downside it's that you'll lose the down scroll that the key is currently mapped for (without pressing the Fn key). Cheers

You can. Simply press the button labeled "LED Illumination" at the top right of the keyboard. To change the light color, press the "scroll" key. The problem here is that the keys are difficult to see when they lights are off, as there is no white outline of the letters and a clear, translucent material instead. You should also know that the right shift key and backspace key have a problem with sticking down. It can be a pain.

yes there is a program inside the computer that lets you change it to whatever the color you want and it has a few other thing it can do too. one example is breathing it makes the color you choose show up slowing and slowly go out. really good laptop. i can play all the games i buy on steam. i have no regret buying it :D

Yes, there are 7 different colors and 2 brightness settings. You can also turn off the backlit feature. Very simple: turn on the keyboard, hold the kkey next to the ? mark [looks like a lightbulb], and press the 'page up' key until you find the color you want.

The mouse goes through cycles of changing colors, however the keyboard does not change color
