Is this a backlit keyboard?

No. Also, it might not work with all the operating systems. It did not work for Chrome OS. With Windows, it was awesome!

Mine actually is! Which I'm guessing makes it a newer model because it also has a windows button. I don't know why they haven't updated this posting...

I just received mine yesterday. The one I have has a backlit keyboard. When you first power on the device the keyboard backlight comes on, then after a moment or two of no use the light flashes briefly before then turning the backlight on. Just pressing keys does NOT turn the backlight on again. If you want the backlight again, there is a button on the side of the keyboard that lights the keyboard up again.

No the keyboard is not backlit, it's a decent laptop in spite of this though.

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

No, it is not a backlit keyboard.And if you need the ethernet connection take care. The connection is not gigabit ethernet.

The keyboard is backlit, but you will need to adjust the power settings if you want the backlighting on while on battery.

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)

No it is not backlit. My husband has an asus g60vx that has a backlit keyboard. I return the computer in question because it didn't have a dvd/cd drive.

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.

Actually, no; this model doesn't have the backlit keyboard. I hoped it would, but it doesn't.

No, there are no backlit keys here. There isn't even a caps lock or num lock light.

YES, it is! You wouldn't know it from reading the product specs sheet, but it definitely is. In fact, the keyboard backlight is on by default (when you get the computer). If you want to turn it off to save battery power simply hit the Function key (Fn) plus the F9 key.

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.
