Does the keyboard cover allow the backlight to show through?

If you turn the backlight all the way up, yes, but it makes it very difficult to do any significant typing.

it may be a bit of a opinion on whether it obstructs the screen or not but I have been very pleased with the product. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a backlit keyboard. Best of luck.

No. It does have an LED light on the top of the screen that can shine down on to the keyboard, though I've never actually used it.

Yes, the surface touch cover 2 does have backlighting and it is fantastic for doing things in the dark or low light.

Yes~when you turn on the computer the backlight will on. I really like that.

Yes the keyboard light shows through the keys. You can see every button perfectly if you apply the stickers properly. Just make sure you look at the f1-f12 stickers that are on the top of the keyboard so you put them in the right places.

Mine did also-the keyboard cover is clear, sticky soft silicone. I just now put it on for the first time. Seems to fit perfect and works fine. If you allow drinks near your laptop could be a lifesaver!

I'm not sure but when the keyboard lights up, I can see all of the keys perfectly in the dark. Hope this helps!

Yes, mine had a keyboard cover as advertised. It's clear (not purple, as I had kinda hoped.) They also threw in a stylus as an unmentioned bonus, that was nice :)

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.

The keyboard backlighting does not appear to be impacted much. The Kuzy silicone is black on the key surfaces but clear on the key sides and edges. The light is probably attenuated a little through the silicone but not enough to diminish the back lighting effect.

The keys are covered, with black letters printed on them, so that part of the backlighting does not show through. The area around the keys is translucent so some of the border lighting does come through.

Yes it does. But the cover makes it hard to see the keys at night. But it is a nice thing.

Yes, the cover actually makes the keys easier to see. Illumination is good - around the keys as well add through the letters.

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

No the keyboard is not backlit, it's a decent laptop in spite of this though.

Unfortunately no, it is just like the MacBook Pro keyboard minus the backlight, however.
