Does the backlight have interchangeable colors? If so, how is this done? (And is it truly 7 color options?)

Yes, the colors are interchangeable. There is a backlight button next to space bar.

The backlight is in blue only. I have found no way to change or dim the color. It is quite bright at night.

yes you can customize the colors which is awesome. Also, the light stays on as long as your computer is on. I had a similar logitech keyboard (older version) and the light lasted at least 4 years.if you are using this for gaming it is by far the best ( IMO ) as all the shortcut keys are on the left side and that still enables you to type easily. hope this helps.

You can change it to any colour you want. The same with the backlit keyboard. Very nice machine this PC.

No, there is a difference between the backlight and the switch. The backlight is the actual LED which you see under the keycap. The switch is what you feel when you press down the keycap, and in this case, it is the Cherry MX Blue switch. This keyboard varies in different switches, although the backlight will always remain red. If you want a color like blue, green, white, or something else, you could look into some other Cooler Master keyboards, or another brand such as Logitech or Ducky.

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.

This model has multiple colors you can select. you can even make your own colors with the RGB settings and have different colors for day- and nighttime with the dimmer function. I just installed mine today and it works amazing!

No, you can't select the colors. It has five or six led lights that each cycle through the colors randomly, rapidly and individually. You end up with several different colors at once, kind of a strobe light effect. For the price it's enjoyable.

I didn't like the multicolor feature either so I bought a white LED and replaced it. It sounds complicated but it was quite easy and I LOVE the lamp.

Yes, you can change it to any color you want but the backlight is very weak. Honestly I'd steer clear of this board, I had it for five minutes and two of the keys died. I would save up more money and, if you really like Razer, buy the Razer Chroma. It's more expensive but it's a mechanical keyboard, and it's a hell of a lot better than this one.

Yes, the color can be changed. There is red, blue, green, purple and clear. You can also set it to slowly rotate between the different colors which is how I have mine set.

Yeah, lights can be customized to be any color, any combination of colors, and completely off. Checkout this link for more information on MSI steel series backlit keyboards. Cheers! http://event.msi.com/nb/faq/q7.html

I never got a chance to put mine on. The computer was stolen. I replaced it once before and believe it is the complete deal. I didn't notice a backlight when I removed it. I still have mine but no where to put it.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

Stays on unless you cut it off. You can change the color of the backlight to whatever you wish. Three presets. Cannot change color of individual keys.
