The SteelSeries Logo at the top right of the keyboard lights up, but the keyboard itself is not backlit. I have had mine for about a year now and still enjoy using it (World of Warcraft keyset). I'm not sure how it stacks up against the Mad Catz Strike 3.

No backlighting besides the steel series name on top, can't tell u how it is compared to the mad catz never owned it, but FYI this isn't a mechanical key keyboard the benefit of the keyboard is the switchable key sets

No. Mine does not seem to have a backlight on the display in any mode or range selection I could try.

It only comes in the color you order. The LEDs are not switchable and they do not turn off. Just an FYI here: I've been playing it hard with mine on Star Trek Online, SWTOR, and the Sims 3 with no issues for almost a year.

I played bf3 and bf4 on it and I did not notice any ghosting or slow response time. Colors were great. However it broke after 18 months. Warranty is only 1 year. I strongly recommend this monitor instead. ASUS PB278Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 PLS/ IPS DisplayPort HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED MonitorWorks great for fps, equal or maybe better PQ and three years warranty

I have the BF4 edition of the Taipan, which means mine has a fancy paint job. There are two sensors and there is no LED light for an optical sensor, so I'm gonna say there are two laser sensors, but no optical.

No. It does not. I'm happy with mine. But, if you need backlighting, it won't work for you.

I purchased this keyboard for my husband. His does not have backlighting except for the small three indicator spots in the very top right corner. They have a blue back lighting. There may be a setting to allow for backlighting but if so, he has it in the off setting. It looks like a plain black keyboard.

I have several reviews that said there is no backlit display - yet the description of the product says it does have one. Is there a way to activate it or turn it on? Thank you!

My calibrated setting below produced a fantastic picture:Backlight: 80Contrast: 78Brightness: 56Color: 39Tint: -3Sharpness: 25All video processing like smooth motion, auto brightness off.Smart Dimming: OnTempest 790 put in a review in June of 2013 and this was his settings. I followed them and then made slight adjustments to fit our viewing. But, They as he left them are great.Hope this helps in your setup.

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

this keyboard sucks for gaming... seriously! I don't know what its is good for hit the cat with?? It does not remember the state it was last in so every reboot required reactivating the lights. The key to illuminate was print screen / scroll lock which screwed up some other applications that i used when i was turning it on or off. I bought a Logitech illuminated K740. The illumination works great and it remembers the state of the lighting. It also is flat and the keys are easy to see / use. I play BF4 so this works great although i use a Logitech g13 with that also. But games like Far cry 3 work great. good luck this keyboard sucks for gaming... seriously!

I just use the standard settings. If youj are gaming, you can adjust brightness on the PC or console to meet your needs. Otherwise use the game mode setting.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model. Hope that still helps. Thanks! ~D
