Can you choose to have the backlit keyboard on or off?

I have no idea. Windows eight was so frustrating that I have no knowledge of the hardware

There is a back lighting option that you can enable or disable with a keyboard shortcut. When it's enabled, the lighting is quite bright and effective -- I found it to work really well for using the laptop in the dark.

Yes, there is definitely an on/off switch for the backlight - it's above the delete button. Btw been happy with this product so far.

Back light is toggled on/off with a button on the keyboard. As far as I know, there is no way to time it. You can customize the colors and switch them with the profile and macro keys.

Yes you can. There is a switch on the back that gives you different settings for the light, on of which is "off".

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

The keyboard has three brightness settings, off, low, and high brightness. You can cycle through the setting by pressing the lightbulb button on the bottom right. You can also change color by holding the lightbulb button and pressing the up or down arrows.

The back light stays on as long as the keyboard is plugged in... It doesn't turn off... And you can customize it

You can change it to any colour you want. The same with the backlit keyboard. Very nice machine this PC.

The backlight stays on until you turn off the computer or you turn it off with the keyboard button. However, the lights are customisable with the included software, so all you would have to do is use a script to turn it off after some time. But it's probably just easier to push the button.

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.

Yes, the keyboard back light can be disabled (fn + sun). It also has a sleep mode which saves battery life.

You can turn the backlight on and off to conserve battery when illumination is not needed. I have found it much easier to take long measurements when it is dark so my backlight gets a lot of use.

No backlit keyboard. I do like how the screen doesn't dim if the laptop is not plugged in. There are alternative ways to lighting a keyboard that span from DIY to purchasable additions.

Do you mean the keyboard light! If you mean that you can turn it on/off with the a certain key.

Yes to both, HOWEVER the Best Buy version of this laptop does NOT have a backlit keyboard.

Yes, you have off, 3 levels of brightness and a cycle mode which goes basically over the course of several seconds goes from bright to dark and back to bright. A cool party trick, not so much useful in actual use. Basically you have 5 levels to go through, including off. I don't recommend off though, the dimmest setting suffices if you are contemplating night use. There is no bleeding of light from under the keys so it is not distracting. Even the medium level isn't too bad, though it is definitely brighter. The brightest mode is VERY bright, but not blindingly so. The LED's are very even and make it seem like the letters are floating :) I use my keyboard mainly in low-light, by the way. -edit- No problems entering BIOS.
