Does the keyboard cover allow to see the backlight?

Yes. It isnt completly clear but it allows the keys to shine through even at the lowest setting for the backlight.

The backlight feature works great I can see the keys given in the dark. I've had no problems with this keyboard and then use it all the time

Yes it does. It actually has a light button that gives you three different backlit key brightness levels. You can see this button immediately to the right of the space bar.

No backlight on the keyboard, but the battery life runs at least as long as the other laptops I've used for browsing and docs. You MUST have a laptop cooling fan with it at all times, however. It will overheat without one.

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.

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.

The backlight doesn't show up through the letters but does on the outline of each key in the keyboard.

Depends on the sellers, mine does not have one. So if you don't see anything about backlit keyboard in the spec, then just assume it does not come with one.

No backlighting on the keys. The screen provides some light but not as good as the keys may have

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.

It illuminates around the keys, but not through the letters. The lettering on the cover doesn't exactly match the placement of the letters on the keys, so my letters are covered up by the colored portion of the colors. I do want to find a new keyboard cover for that reason, but I find that between the light from the screen and what shows through around the keys, I have no problem typing in the pitch darkness.

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

It does not appear to. I have not looked into it extensively, there may be a way to switch them on. But the default is not a backlit keyboard.

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

No, the keyboard is not backlit. It is flat matte just as the pictures show. :)

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