Bought this for my son, but how do we get the letters, numbers and space bar to light up? Only inside the keyboard is lit, but not the letters?

As far as I know, the characters do not light up because they are painted/printed on white, not made clear for the light to show through. Check out the video review on youtube by user Coltron5k and you'll see that the characters are not shown lighting up. You'd have to replace all the keys with clear character keys to have that desired effect.

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.

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

Has anyone had problems with the keyboard "sticking" on the last letter you typed? (Like thisssssssss)? It also will not do an upper case I--this just started today. Am wondering if I need to return this.

I would return it, it's possible that it is defected. My son's nextbook keyboard works fine.

Try putting it in different usb ports. Sometimes it just needs to be plugged in a few times or plugged in for a longer period of time to be recognized that it is there. Also, you could try to shut down your machine and start it back up with the keyboard plugged in. Hope this helps.

Instructions for what? Just plug it in to a usb port in your pc and start typing. All the colors in the keyboard light up automatically.It's so cool!

Larry, was the unit charged up? There is a port on the keyboard's side near the on/off switch (switch should be in the on position) and the blue light should be on so keyboard can communicate with notepad....good luck..if no blue light, keyboard must be off or not charged...Kev.

I bought this as well and I can't get my tablet to work on it either. It has been sitting, unused since the day it arrived. I contacted the seller about this issue and they told me that I might need another plug for it to work. I would have expected this item to be in working condition, not have to spend more money to get it running. I wish I could help you more with this issue, but it looks like we bought a nice case with a keyboard for decoration.

When I plugged mine in, I got a "set up your keyboard" screen which showed some things. I THINK there was a link or something there to get more info. If you go into devices and hardware, right-click on the picture of the keyboard and then go to Keyboard Settings, that will get you into the setup stuff. Just keep clicking on the categories and you should find what you want.

Hi Ron, The first thing I would do is make sure the keyboard is fully charged. If the red light is on then you need to recharge the keyboard. If the light is blue (charged) I would make sure the bluetooth feature is enabled. You would do that by checking your settings. Once those two things are working properly you should be able to use it again if it worked before. Good luck with that!

Yep, typing on it right now in the dark. It is back lit to the color of your choosing, it can even cycle through colors... but that is distracting. And, yes it looks just like that photo. The only keys that are not back lit are the thumb mod keys below the spacebar.

Mine works great. What keys do not work? If you are trying to use the 2nd blue functions on the keyboard you need to push the blue fn button first. If this isn't the problem then I suggest contacting the manufacturer. You may have gotten a defective one.

I have keyboard problems too...The arrows and the numbers do not work.... and wi fi is not connecting either (conects and disconects all the time....). I am very frustrated.

As soon as you plug the cable into a USB port, the LED lights will come on. The keyboard draws its powerfrom the USB port. It the keys don't light, you have a bad keyboard.

Yes the keyboard is back lit, it goes dark when not using it to conserve battery life, but as soon as something is touche it lights up.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.

I checked online and asked how to determine if my keyboard has a back light. I pushed the Fn key and space bar at the same time and it did not enable or disable any light. I assume that there is no back light on the keyboard.

Hi I purchased two of these for family members and they both say the keyboard works great and they aren't having any issues. I believe yours may be defective.
