Does the back light stay on after dark or does it only come on for a few seconds when you touch one of the buttons?

No. When a button is pressed, the light stays on for 5 seconds then goes dark.

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

It does not have a separate "light" button however once any of the buttons are pressed, all are lit for a short period of time.

I forgot how I set it up or whether it needed to be set up, but the backlight now comes on whenever I start the car and it stays on. I do not need to press any button.

If you press the button and release it, the light stays on for about 3-4 seconds. If you press the button and hold it down, the light will stay on for as long as you hold it down. Then when you release it, it will remain on for 3-4 seconds before turning off. Hope this helps.

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.

No the light only comes on when you hold the button. This video may be helpful. The thumblite comes in the video around around the 7:38 mark http://youtu.be/_ltOO-8jW5k

The one I received stays off until it is activated by motion after dusk. It comes on and stays on for a short time then goes back off.

Yes. The LCD readout is backlit. When you press any button it lights for approximately 5 seconds.

I don't remember a backlight nor what the center button did. Not trying to be nasty but I found the contraption practically useless. It kept time and date. I have a watch. Nothing else appeared to be remotely reliable.

There will be a small light that stays on on the on/off switch. The top brighter light turns off when you push the button twice. The little light isn't too bright. Just turn it away from you. Hope this helps.

No that should not be the case. i have seen few times it took longer than normal. it is typically 3 to 5 sec of hold on that button and it will turn on the flash light

The light has button access to 3 backlight levels AND off. There are also buttons that you can select either the frequency or the clock but both aren't on together. I usually have light off as I use it at night. hope this helps - I like it. Ron

The light stays on as long as it detects movement and it is dark. Once movement is no longer detected, it takes about 20 seconds or so to shut off.

There's two buttons. The larger button is for the 3 light settings and the smaller button for the strobe. If you hold down the strobe button for more than three seconds it will stay on until you press the strobe or larger button again. Hope that helped!
