will it power the backlighting on the keyoard?

Yup, lights come on, batteries are decent. Red warning light means it's time to charge... but I can't seen to turn off keyboard sounds when using this... strange because it should

Yes it does. Pressing the function key Fn and space bar turns on the back light feature for the keyboard.

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

As long as the running lights are powered up, this light should piggyback just fine. It's LED, so uses very little power, yet lights up very brightly.

Yes, You attach it to your system so when you turn the key to the on position the back light comes on. The light is a good light, you can read the whole screen, but it is not so bright that it disturbs your night vision. It has three LED's: green, yellow, and red, that at a quick glance shows your battery voltage. Plus the screen gives a digital readout of actual voltage.

Can't exactly speak from experience on that one, but if you have the switches turned to the on position it turns on. Even if you just plugged it in, so i would assume so.

I believe it works with all CTKs, but I don't know for certain. On my keyboard it lists the exact power adapter required at the outlet.

No. You simply plug it into your computer and the keyboard receives power from the computer. I hope that helps.

No, it does not. Often the screen will provide enough light to see the keys, but if you plan on working in the dark fairly often, then you will want the backlit keys.

I dont think so when the power button is on...it's a nice blue light...good luck

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

Yes. At least one of the four battery level lights should come on, depending on how much charge is left.

When I went through the various colors for backlighting, it started at the off position. I would imagine that if you set it at the off position, it will save battery power. I hope this helps.

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.

If it is a usb type port then yes it should. Otherwise no, since this light has a usb connector.

No & No to both questions! There is a little work setting up the kp on the alarm panel you are hooking it to. Power is supplied by the alarm panel. Check specifications on power provided by your alarm ADEMCO panel and the keypad requirement. Coupled that with devices running of the aux panel output as we'll.

Good question. It's been a while, but my memory is that the keys were easily operable in a dark room. I don't recall ever trying to turn on key backlighting over the weekend I had the unit, but that it may have been automatic. Had there been a problem with keying in a dark room I think I'd recall that.
