Does this have back lighting? It says Blue LEDs, but that's it. I work in the semi dark and I like a glowing keyboard.

It's not backlit. The "blue" in the description refers to the type of switches used in the keys.

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.

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

Yep, typing on it right now in the dark. It is back lit to the color of your choosing, it can even cycle through colors... but that is distracting. And, yes it looks just like that photo. The only keys that are not back lit are the thumb mod keys below the spacebar.

Back light can be off, low, medium, high and "breathing" mode, where it fades from brightest to dimmest and back again.I had no problems with BIOS and this is the keyboard I used to set up my last build.

Yes, it does have a blue-backlit keyboard of selectable brightness but unfortunately the backlight cannot be left on all the time. It lights about a second after starting to type which can be a little frustrating.

The backlighting on the sliver keyboard is indeed blue while the black keyboard is red. Not switchable, but you can adjust the brightness level.

Yes the keyboard is back lit, it goes dark when not using it to conserve battery life, but as soon as something is touche it lights up.

Yup this has keys that are back lit the entire time it's on. The only problem I have with this thing is that for some stupid reason every time I hook it up Bluetooth it turns my virtual keyboard to default which I don't like. Won't be a problem if you like the default virtual keyboard.

Yup. My keyboard has red LED back lighting and you can see the keys just fine in the dark even at the lowest setting.

I purchased this keyboard for my husband. His does not have backlighting except for the small three indicator spots in the very top right corner. They have a blue back lighting. There may be a setting to allow for backlighting but if so, he has it in the off setting. It looks like a plain black keyboard.

Yes they are backlit. It will go dim after not typing for a couple minutes and will brighten again when you start typing again. I'm sure there's a setting that might allow you to keep the keyboard lit. Another issue I didn't mention is the Wi-Fi issue I encountered. Every now and then it loses its connection with my WiFi. I saw something about it on YouTube but didn't bother to watch it thinking it wouldn't happen to me but I need to check it out now. Dell has excellent customer support.

It's not a great option for a backlit keyboard. The keys are black with white lettering. Your best bet would be to get the clear skin so that way your keys with back lighting should work.

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.
