Does this allow the backlit keyboard to still be effective?

No it doesn't allow for the backlight to show through.. I removed the keys after one week. The wooden keys give the macbook and distinct look, but it's not very functional.. Hard to type papers for class when you can't feel the indentions on the keyboard

No, the only thing that lights up is the caps lock key. Also, the edges of each key remain sticky and attract lots of dust and hair.

No, but the etching on the keys can still be clearly seen by the light of the screen.

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.

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

No, the keys are not back-lit. They are just like any standard keyboard, but with the extra buttons that maybe used for gaming.

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.

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

I know it has back-lit keyboard when it's plugged into power source. Couple of times when I used the computer powered by battery only, I noticed that the backlighting did not come on.

Yes. There is a button on the keyboard where you can toggle the backlighting off and on.

Yes and no. The unit has a backlight mode. The problem is enabling it requires a two key push button sequence. From that point forward pushing any key briefly illuminates the screen. The unit then defaults back to the unlit mode after some inactive period. I have trouble remembering the key sequence and so can not reliably activate the backlight. Altogether I'd say the key controls throughout this unit are very non intuitive.

I think your asking about the backlit board? To turn the keyboard light on and off hit the f5 button.

Yes the keyboard itself will still work even without the LED's; however, I have had mine for over a month and had zero problems with the LED's working so far.

No. The keyboard is not back lit. The LED is located on the side of the body and shines perpendicular to the keys - it's basically a flashlight.

No it doesn't. When I bought it I thought I might miss having a backlit KB but found I didn't really need it.

Hi, no....it doesn't have backlit keys, but I would still recommend it over most any other keyboard (unless you spend the majority of your time in the dark)

Yes - the keyboard lights up around the keys. Works great for any level of darkness.

The short answer is yes. The screen is still active and responds to touching inputs even though the Sharkk keyboard is active.
