Can you see the backlights for the keyboard through the cover?

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.

No backlit keyboard. I do like how the screen doesn't dim if the laptop is not plugged in. There are alternative ways to lighting a keyboard that span from DIY to purchasable additions.

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.

No, it is not backlighted, however the white letters on the black key background makes visibility pretty good in low light.

No. There is a small light above the screen that does a poor job (compared to a backlit keyboard) of illuminating the keys. Since I rarely use the T410s in a dark room, this was not an important feature for me. I also have a MacBook Air with an excellent backlit keyboard.

There is no back light for the keys. The logo is lighted up at the bottom though.

Yes perfectly, but if you have a backlit keyboard it will not illuminate. But is a great way to provide protection to your keyboard and inner workings.

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 ;)

The only back light there is on this keyboard is the Razor logo. It's only Blue, but you can turn it off, make it pulsate on and off or just have it in a solid state.

The backlight doesn't show up through the letters but does on the outline of each key in the keyboard.

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.

I can confirm, they are not backlit. But I guess you can attach an external keyboard that is, if you need it. (if I'm typing in the dark I generally tip the monitor a bit to light up the keys.

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

No backlighting on the keys. The screen provides some light but not as good as the keys may have

No. My laptop did not have a back light and I do not recall there being any wires to plug in to on the keyboard.

The keyboard cover that came with the one I bought was black to match the keys, but I think it was black in the product's picture. While the letters on my cover were white, they are not clear. If you like to use the macbook feature that lights up the keys, the light does not come through the cover. Hope that helps?

Yup. My keyboard has red LED back lighting and you can see the keys just fine in the dark even at the lowest setting.
