Are the letters on the keys visible and clear if you turn off the backlit of the keyboard?

Yes, To me the letters are clear to see even with the back light turned off. I read where other people said the light can not be turned off. Well, mine DOES . To turn off the light all you have to do is hold down the color changing button for about 5 seconds and the light goes off. Easy.

Yes, they are very clear in normal lighting and larger than normal. Our computer room has only one window and my back is towards it. when the sun is going down the room has light but my body projects a shadow on the keyboard. This keyboard was a perfect solution for us.

To be honest, the letters are a bit difficult to see with the light off. You end up keeping the light on 24/7, which doesnt cause any problems

Yes they are clear. But why would you want to turn of the pretty lights. I did by holding down the LED Illumination key, the same one that changes colors.

Just hold the backlight key down for 3 seconds and the lights turn off. It is clearly stated with the included pamphlet :-)

You cannot turn off the keyboard light, only change the lighted colors of the keys themselves from either blue to red, or from red to purple. So you have three color choices of what color you'd like your keys to be, but you cannot turn off the keyboard light itself. The keys always remain lit while you're using your computer, then it turns off when you shut down.

It does not appear to. I have not looked into it extensively, there may be a way to switch them on. But the default is not a backlit keyboard.

Please inform Beth, the K120 Logitech Keyboard is not `backlit. No where in the Amazon description and chart does it state that it is. It does state, "Easy-to-read characters Bold, bright characters make the keys easier to read-even if you have less than perfect vision." This means the Key lettering is in white paint with contrasting black keys background. The product comparison chart indicates it does not have the `backlit keyboard' option. Regards

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 have had my keyboard for a several months and it is terrific! When the light are on and the back-lighting is one it is all blue like the back-lighting. In the upper right hand corner of the case is a little hole that is the back-lighting button. When you turn it on the entire keyboard is a lovely blue with dark letters that appear to be floating. By clicking the little button you can lower the background light by two steps. the fourth click turns it of and all is white. Sounds like you aren't turning the back-lighting on. Hope this helps.

There is a function key on both sides of the keyboard on the bottom, and controls on the F Keys at the top to adjust screen brightness, volume, and keyboard back light. You can make it as bright as you want, and turn it off completely.

No - but the screen shines brightly enough that even in a pitch black room you can see the keys. I wouldnt let that be a determining factor.

The keys have 2 levels of brightness as well as off, for no lights. There is one button that lets you set it on, brighter, or off.

The backlight does not show up through the stickers, it does however still have the under key lighting. If you are interested in having glow in the dark keys, Try searching for transparent or translucent replacement keys. The lighting effect of the keyboard and the stickers does give an optical illusion that it's glowing, but sadly, no.

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

The Key's do not glow, Except around the rubberized media keys on the sides, There is a front and back light as well as one Keyboard logo in the top right. They have a medium brightness effect good enough that it can make an impression from a distance, but not too light that it would be annoying or distracting.

There are 3-4 different backlighting modes...one of which is completely turned off. No issues entering bios after installation. Had this keyboard for about 6 months and I love it. The only thing that's missing is volume control, but can manage without that.

I think you would still struggle with the blue letters. There's not quite as much contrast on the black keys as there is with the white letters, although the difference is not great, and the blue letters are a little smaller than the white ones. It also would depend on the angle you are viewing the keyboard. If you are working at a desk, looking down in good light, there won't be much difference in being able to read the white or blue letters. But, if you are laying on the bed with a laptop on your lower abdomen/thighs, you may not be able to see the blue letters at all. I can't see them in that position, but I am a touch typist and rarely need to look at the keyboard.

No , it is not backlit. However the yellow color of the keys make it quite bright to even see it in low light.

It's not backlit. The "blue" in the description refers to the type of switches used in the keys.
635785
Yes but it's really shoddy, the backlight is positioned away from the middle of the keys so you can really see the difference between the top part of the letter and the bottom and there is no light around the edges of each key like there ought to be. I'm really sorry I bought this laptop.

No, but the etching on the keys can still be clearly seen by the light of the screen.
