Is there any backlighting on the keys? I'm looking for something I could use as a passenger in a vehicle at night.

No unfortunately there is not. The only one that I've seen with backlighting is the cases made by Zagg keys but I don't think they've made one for Samsung yet. Sorry

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.

There are lights on the caps lock and F11/mute keys but that's it. The keyboard itself is not back lit.

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.

Not really, it's more like a small flashlight. The keys are not really back lit, and are hard to distinguish at night.

It is not backlit however I thought I wanted backlit however with migraines I started using Gateways products that have only white keys. Solves two problem, no light from keys and with white keys at 65 I can see them well without readers.

The letters on the keys are dark, and you can see them perfectly when the keys are lit. I use it in a dark room at night, and I can look down and see any key I want. You'd be very pleased, I think!

I can confirm, they are not backlit. But I guess you can attach an external keyboard that is, if you need it. (if I'm typing in the dark I generally tip the monitor a bit to light up the keys.

The keys do not have any lights. But there are lights on the sides of the keyboard and one at the top where the logo is. It's a bargain keyboard, they cut back on some things but the tactiles are wonderful.

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

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

No, it's not backlit bright enough to type in complete darkness. What they meant by "backlit", is that on the top of the keyboard, it shows if the battery is fully charged, which is illuminated, but far from the degree to see the keyboard in complete darkness.

No, there are no backlit keys here. There isn't even a caps lock or num lock light.

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.

well well well good question, of course not.. the keypad does not have lights to see in the darkness... only have little leds to announce the charge of battery and the scrool in the key to change uppercase to lowercase and vice versa... if you wanna light to see when you write with this dispositive do it like me (use the led light generate by the led tv) greetings...

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.

There are small lights at the top to indicate caps lock etc but nothing is lit behind the keys, if that is what you are asking.
