I just purchased the keyboard and the backlight is not on. How do I turn it on or it automatically on and it doesn't work in this case?

Have you tried pressing the "FN" and the F12 anf F11 buttons which control the keyboards brightness?

it should of turn on the first time you plug it in but if not open the razer program(sypnase) and you should see the options to turn it On, dim make brighter etc, else it might be defective

Keyboard should be charged. Turn it off and on, It will start pairing. I think it goes to power save mode if not being used.so turning off and on again will make this work.Thanks

No. The keyboard is not backlight. I'm guessing that if the keyboard were to be, the battery would be consumed a lot faster. Since I received my keyboard, I have yet to recharge it. So that's a plus to not having the keyboard lit up.

Alberto, There can be several Issues causing the Mac Backlight not work. I would check with the Seller that you bought the Laptop from. He does not offer a Repair or Replacement, I would recommend Returning the Mac since it is not working properly. You have a right as a Buyer to Return the Defective Merchandise. If you have any questions, Feel Free to Ask.

Hello Larry, unfortunately the keyboard is not lit up. I was somewhat disappointed as well because I do a lot of typing at night, but it is a pretty good computer overall. I really do like it, and just to let you know it does get fairly warm so if you get it you might want to get the cooling pad. Hope this helped!

Did you try charging it up as you charge your ipad....connect the keyboard at the same time as you as charging. I did not get a manual either. Sorry I can't be more help to you.

I guess I should be more specific. Anyone find a KVM that will allow this keyboard to light up? It will work as a standard non-lit keyboard with any KVM but no backlight and what good is that?

Did you follow the steps exactly? Step by step? Make sure the keyboard is fully charged. I found it very simple to pair. Try it again and let me know if you continue to have problems. I don't want you to get too frustrate because this is a fabulous keyboard case

I believe the keyboard light should only be blue. Both charging and when on. I would box that one up and send it right back for a replacement.

It appears the backlighting is disabled (no light even pressing the 'sun' symbol) until the keyboard is paired with the ipad although the keyboard has been turned on & before pairing the devices? Please confirm if this's defective? Thank you.

For some reason when I bought it I thought the keyboard was backlit but it is not. I bought my wife a AirMac which has a lighted keyboard

Although my keyboard worked perfect from the start,sounds like yours is defective. I would return it if i were you. Sorry you had a bad experience.

This model does not come with a backlit keyboard. However, you could probably find a 3rd party replacement for it, and install it yourself with a Youtube video, or take it to a local computer shop for about $100. I know they made a 15.6" model with a backlit keyboard on their website, you might be able to find the keyboard for that model and replace it in this model as they are they same size and same exact layout, only one is backlit.
