Unfortunately no. It's a great piece, indestructible...just a tad heavy.Noah B

No they are not - however- your ipad provides enough light for you to type even in the dark just in case you are self taught like myself.

They can be but doing so runs the already anemic battery down rapidly. The case does not collapse like Zagg and Logitech but the keys are problematic and battery life is marginal

No, the key board is not back lit. It's a nice keyboard if you have small hands.

All the keys on mine are backlit. You may have gotten two remotes from the same bad batch.

The letters on the keys do light up as well. There is a light button to turn the light on/off and adjust the brightness.

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 is not backlit however I thought I wanted backlit however with migraines I started using Gateways products that have only white keys. Solves two problem, no light from keys and with white keys at 65 I can see them well without readers.

Nope. Has an LED for Caps Lock and for touchpad "deactivate". But no backlight for keys. Don't type in the dark, anyway it's bad for your eyes :)

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

Yes, the keyboard can be backlit in blue. You can also adjust the brightness of the keyboard using the F9 and F10 keys.

As a owner of this keyboard I can confirm that the keys are in fact backlit.

All of the keys are *supposed* to be backlit. However, because of the way the backlighting in the remote is designed, some keys may be permanently dimmer than others, and there's not much that can be done about that.

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