Is the keyboard backlit, could you type in complete darkness?

No, it's not backlit bright enough to type in complete darkness. What they meant by "backlit", is that on the top of the keyboard, it shows if the battery is fully charged, which is illuminated, but far from the degree to see the keyboard in complete darkness.

No it is not. The keys are just stamped with letters. There is no lighting used.

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

No, the key board is not back lit. It's a nice keyboard if you have small hands.

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.

It does not appear to. I have not looked into it extensively, there may be a way to switch them on. But the default is not a backlit keyboard.

No, the keyboard is not lighted. I've never had the need for it. The screen has a variable brightness that illuminates the keyboard well enough with low ambient light.

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, it is not a backlit keyboard.And if you need the ethernet connection take care. The connection is not gigabit ethernet.

I don not own it, but reading the specs it certainly has a backlit keyboard (that you cannot turn off)

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.

no, it is not backlit....I actually use it with a monitor and wireless keyboard. Performance has been good....knock on wood!

Actually, no; this model doesn't have the backlit keyboard. I hoped it would, but it doesn't.

All of the keys are *supposed* to be backlit. However, because of the way the backlighting in the remote is designed, some keys may be permanently dimmer than others, and there's not much that can be done about that.

no, the keyboard is not back lit. it is a standard keyboard with typical layout including separate key pad
