Is the keyboard limited to light blue as its only back-lit color?

Standard Blackwidow Ultimate has only blue with five intensity levels. There are other versions that give other colors (Dragon Age 2 with red and Battlefield 3 with orange), but each keyboard can only give one color at a time.

Yeah, lights can be customized to be any color, any combination of colors, and completely off. Checkout this link for more information on MSI steel series backlit keyboards. Cheers!http://event.msi.com/nb/faq/q7.html

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.

Yes. This keyboard has Cherry MX blue switches with blue back-lit keys. The cherry MX blue key switches are super responsive. Typing with the blue switches is fun if you don't mind the loud noises.

No the keyboard has no backlight but the keys are bright white on a black background so are easily visible in low light.

Not an expert on keyboards so I'm not entirely sure, but i don't believe it is. a quick google search told me no.As for the color you get an entire color wheel in the software, letting you choose whatever color you like. I have mine set to a tron-like blue/cyan

Unfortunately no, it is just like the MacBook Pro keyboard minus the backlight, however.

No, the model does not have a back lit keyboard. I do not know if it was an option or not.

I just got his laptop and yes it does have a back-lit keyboard. The back light is red on black keys with white lettering. Looks pretty awesome.

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.

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.

Yes, it has a backlit keyboard but the light does not stay on constantly. I have not really checked to see if it can be turned on during full use or turn it off altogether.

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.

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