It looks like the theres backlighting on the throttle controller. Is this device backlit?

Yes, you can change the colors from blue, red, green, amber on throttle and joystick.

Yes, the Throttle is backlit green, the Flight-stick not so obviously (only visible from certain angles)

There is no backlight on mine. If they add one to later models let's hope they edit the description to reflect that....

I have some backlight bleeding on the bottom right. It's not too bad, but definitely noticeable when the screen is displaying black. I have not tried to fix it myself yet.

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.

Yes it is back-lit as long as you are tuning or pressing any of the buttons, hands off the light goes off in about 4 seconds.

Yes and no. The unit has a backlight mode. The problem is enabling it requires a two key push button sequence. From that point forward pushing any key briefly illuminates the screen. The unit then defaults back to the unlit mode after some inactive period. I have trouble remembering the key sequence and so can not reliably activate the backlight. Altogether I'd say the key controls throughout this unit are very non intuitive.

The model I got has a backlight. It seems to be on when it is plugged in. You don't really notice it, until it is dim enough to see it.

yes, it will show you in light in the controller. when its full charged, the light will disappear from controller.

No it's not back lit. I am sorry but I don't know where my instructions are. I have tried it with several combinations and it's not apparent what it's function is.

No, it's not backlit. It is a great scale however. A really good item to own.

No, I don't believe it is backlit. I certainly haven't found that option yet.

Yes. I have never needed the backlight function, the screen is clear in daylight and bright sunlight when I ride. If needed a quick press of the power button, or any other button, gives a screen backlight. Options are off, stay on, 15 sec (default),30 sec, 1 min, 2 min. You can also alter contrast and backlight level. I expect use of backlight will reduce battery life.

Didn't notice any back light. I believe it's just black numbers against grey screen.

I have been told that your can turn on the Light sensor which controls backlighting by pressing Fn+A to on/off AI light sensor. Have to dig my keyboard out to try it tomorrow. Good luck

It has red and green LED indicators. It shows RED when the controller is charging, then it turns GREEN when charged.

The BC5.12 does not have a backlight. Holding the button down a few seconds like one answer suggested only resets trip data. I ride a lot at night and it would be nice to have.

I have two of these RC65RBK remote controllers. It certainly DOES have backlit keys. Press any key; it lights up. Press the little button on the right side of the unit and it lights up. If people are saying that it doesn't light up, then I suspect they're not talking about the RC65RBK.
