Does the keyboard light up (backlight) so it can be seen in the dark?

No it doesn't. Actually the little keys can be harder to see in low light than some other keyboards. The screen is bright enough to vaguely light the way, but you should be very good at typing to use it easily. If you plan on one finger typing in the dark much, I wouldn't recommend this model.

I am not sure what the others are like but I don't notice any background light on the keyboard itself. The "HP" lights up on the back of the screen and that is about it.

Well, its a black keyboard with black keys so in the dark, no. During the day they are quite visible. I would call the backlighting subtle, it isn't super bright and during daylight its hardly noticeable. Personally I don't like a keyboard that is blazingly bright. It might be nice if there were intensity levels, but that's a lot to ask in this price range. I will say this is a great keyboard, a pleasure to work with and it is very difficult to find keyboards with orange back lighting. My only complaint is that it is compact and so the del/home etc keys are in odd places. Other than that it is speedy for typing and comfortable for gaming.

Yep, typing on it right now in the dark. It is back lit to the color of your choosing, it can even cycle through colors... but that is distracting. And, yes it looks just like that photo. The only keys that are not back lit are the thumb mod keys below the spacebar.

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.

There is no lighting in the keyboard at all, however, the screen is brightly lit so I have no problem at all seeing the keyboard. Hope this answers your question.

It has some LED lights but the keys are not lighted. You wouldn't be able to see everything in the dark.

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.

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 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.

Yes, the keyboard is backlit, with the option to adjust the brightness of the backlight. You can turn it off, or have it on any of 3 brightness settings.

No backlight, it's in the laptop led lamps on a foil attached to the old keyboard inside. I changed it and the transplantation was a success. Be patient with 62 screws ;)

Yes, the keypad on mine does light up, just enough to be able to see the keys. Each individual key does not light up.

I cannot see the backlights in the dark. They are lit around each key and are visible in low light situations, but in complete darkness it would be difficult to see keys, other than their silhouette.

Sorry, it does not have the keyboard backlight. They are otherwise in a mint condition, just like a new one.

I checked online and asked how to determine if my keyboard has a back light. I pushed the Fn key and space bar at the same time and it did not enable or disable any light. I assume that there is no back light on the keyboard.
