No they are not backlit. Very few laptops are. My last was and I don't "miss" this feature at all!

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.

no unfortunately they are not. However you can try some glow in the dark keyboard stickers or get a backlit external keyboard.

Yes they are, it's a full size keyboard, I don't really use it, I bought it for my brother but he loves it, he plays several musical instruments and he thinks it is a great keyboard with a lot of functions. Hope this helps.

It is not backlit however I thought I wanted backlit however with migraines I started using Gateways products that have only white keys. Solves two problem, no light from keys and with white keys at 65 I can see them well without readers.

No the Keys are more like what you find on a macbook but are not backlit. They are very easy to type on and are full size. This was the easiest keyboard to type on of the ones I tested. If you are looking for backlit the Zag Profolio Plus are backlit.

No, the key pad is not backlit but I have no problem seeing the numbers at night since the background of the numbers is a fairly bright white

Sorry, it does not have the keyboard backlight. They are otherwise in a mint condition, just like a new one.

They are adjustable, and have many modes between which keys are backlit. I find that I use them on the lowest setting, and the keys themselves are not overly annoying in dark rooms on this setting. On bright settings, they can be quite bright. I'm typing this response right now in a dark room with no other lights on, and on the dimmest setting (out of 5 levels) they certainly aren't brighter than my monitor light. I usually use the keyboard on this setting, and it never distracts me from gaming sessions, if that's what you are worried about.

All the keys on mine are backlit. You may have gotten two remotes from the same bad batch.

The keys do not have any lights. But there are lights on the sides of the keyboard and one at the top where the logo is. It's a bargain keyboard, they cut back on some things but the tactiles are wonderful.

Yes... The keyboard is back-lit and can be turned on or off with a key-stroke.

Francis, the backlit keyboard is a nice soft white backlit keyboard and the lighting is easily adjusted from bright to dim with the F5/F6 keys on the keyboard.

Yes they do. Black keys are matte finish so they look/feel diff. (minor). Piano looks great for its price.

If you mean do the keys glow in the dark, they don't. I tilt my screen down to type making it hard to see screen.

The Key's do not glow, Except around the rubberized media keys on the sides, There is a front and back light as well as one Keyboard logo in the top right. They have a medium brightness effect good enough that it can make an impression from a distance, but not too light that it would be annoying or distracting.

No backlighting at all. The only blue LED's it has is for the caps lock, and a couple others, otherwise there are no lights on the keyboard.
