No. The keyboard is not backlit and I wouldn't recommend trying to use it in complete darkness.

This model does not come with a backlit keyboard. However, you could probably find a 3rd party replacement for it, and install it yourself with a Youtube video, or take it to a local computer shop for about $100. I know they made a 15.6" model with a backlit keyboard on their website, you might be able to find the keyboard for that model and replace it in this model as they are they same size and same exact layout, only one is backlit.

Yes, the keyboard is backlit, with the option to adjust the brightness of the backlight. You can turn it off, or have it on any of 3 brightness settings.

Hello Hanson. The keyboard is currently not back-lit. I am not sure if you can purchase one that does do that. The only other thing that I have come across for the back-lit option was the Razer Edge keyboard, but those are not currently available.

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.

No it does not have a backlit keyboard...just a normal keyboard, but it feels very nice when typing. If you want a backlit keyboard, you can buy a wireless keyboard that has backlit which I did purchase since it is easier for me to type.

It does have a backlit keyboard. Hold the FN key (next to the space bar) and the space bar and it will come on. You can turn it off the same way.

No , it is not backlit. However the yellow color of the keys make it quite bright to even see it in low light.
