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.

Hi, no....it doesn't have backlit keys, but I would still recommend it over most any other keyboard (unless you spend the majority of your time in the dark)

The keyboard is not backlit. I touch type and know where the keys are but on occasion when my husband uses it he just tips the screen down a little and the light of the screen is sufficient to see the keys.

The keyboard does not have backlight ability. The text font on the keys give it that illusion but it does not.

No, and the keyboard is pricey. Some say it's about $50, but the cheapest I've found is about $100 for a hot pink one that MAY be backlit. The list price is $130 for a black, bacllit one.

It does not have a backlit keyboard. However, the soft keyboard can be used as a great alternative.

Yes, the keyboard is illuminated. You can actually change the keyboard to a variety of colors. There are also lights along the front which the colors can be also changed.

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.

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.

Yes. It has an easy keyboard that is backlit making it easier to see the keyboard. It is easy to use.

No, it is not backlighted, however the white letters on the black key background makes visibility pretty good in low light.
