Backlit keyboard or not?

I agree. Only the power button is backlit. OfficeMax advertises it as a backlit keyboard, but that is wrong. Yikes!

No. There is a small light above the screen that does a poor job (compared to a backlit keyboard) of illuminating the keys. Since I rarely use the T410s in a dark room, this was not an important feature for me. I also have a MacBook Air with an excellent backlit keyboard.

Keyboard is backlit. Battery life will vary depending upon usage, but I can usually get 4+ hours during general use.

No the keyboard is not back lighted. This has been a very good laptop, we have two.

mm, have owned this laptop for a couple of weeks now, and no, i haven't noticed a backlit keyboard. Unless it's an option which needs to be activated, because i haven't really sat down to study all details to the smallest. But all nites that i worked on it, it wasn't backlit. hope that helps.

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.

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.

The keyboard is NOT backlit...I would have liked that. The screen can be bright eough that you don't need that feature in most cases.

This keyboard is NOT backlit. The LED is on the side and acts (in my opinion) as an "emergency" flashlight. I do not recommend using this keyboard in lo-light/no-light conditions. Otherwise, it is a very nice, mini BT keyboard. Hope this helps!

Hello, no it does not have a backlit keyboard. Hope this helps. But it's a fantastic laptop!

Yes. The keyboard is back lit kind of bluish white. There are three brightness levels - four if you count "off."

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

It is not backlit. I love the touch-screen interface with Windows 8 on this computer though :) Good Luck

I did miss the backlit keyboard. I often pick up my laptop at night when I'm watching tv in a darker room. This laptop was difficult to use in that environment.

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.
