The mouse trackpad failed on two of these that we had. See if you can return it.

The keyboard light should go off after about 30 seconds of inactivity. Once you touch the keys the light should come back on.

The keyboard is not lighted except for a small light on the right upper side to tell you it's on.

Hi, the keyboard is back lit. The battery life is reasonably good just over a couple of hours.

No, the keyboard is not backlit. It is flat matte just as the pictures show. :)

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

I had the same issue, the keyboard never connected again. It's a piece of trash, get your money back if you can

I think your asking about the backlit board? To turn the keyboard light on and off hit the f5 button.

There is no light on the keyboard with the Cap Lock, I know the lock is on when everything is in Caps.

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. So the display is not working at all? No blue light? If so, there is definitely something wrong. I will send you a message to discuss replacement.

Mine just died due to battery controller failure after about 3 years.. Looks like it is a common problem with this keyboard as well..

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.

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.

You should contact Kanex support if your keyboard is still under warranty they may replace it.

I already have windows 8.1 installed but my keyboard backlight doesn't function. fn+f3/f4 doesn't work. Can you help?

I had mine for about a year before it stopped working. It would seem in some cases a reinstall of drivers helps a lot. What you need to do is verify you didn't get a doa and if so get the rma started asap. My symptoms were, upon boot or plug in, lights would work momentarily then all feedback would stop, lights would go out, and Windows reports an unrecognized device. Some more testing might have been prudent on my part but I was to frustrated to give it the time. Also, no experience with the keyboard.
