Is the backlighting on the keyboard bright or dim? (for comparison, G15 is really dim)

I have never seen the G15 in person but as for the G510 ....the keyboard back light is very good that a keyboard novice can use it in the dark a see clearly.... note that different colors pop better but all can be seen.... only thing that would be nicer but not and issue are the buttons below the screen they don't lite up or at least have some glow.

i dont know what you consider to be bright, but it is bright enough to show clearly lit with my room light on and plenty bright in the dark.....hope that helps

it is kinda dim, i was a little bit dissapointed when i first got the keyboard, but now it's okay actually, i wouldn't want it to be any brighter, because it would be annoying at night time. Night time the keyboard is perfect, not too dim not too bright :)

As I don't own a G11 per say, but got to handle a "sample" one in a store, I don't know the lighting aspects in all light. However, because of the wide color+alpha ranges the G510s is capable of, you can get dimmed colors and VERY bright colors. Even in sunlight many light settings come through.

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.

No the keyboard is not back lit. You need to look for it in the description. I bought one of the more souped up versions two years ago with all the bells and whistles. I bought this one as a Christmas gift. Small differences one of them being the backlight. I didn't think it would matter for the person I bought it for and it didn't. But when I set it up I noticed it. I like the backlit board better. If your really want that feature they do have them just make sure you find it in the description of the item being sold. Not the generic Dell ad that they show you on the sites.

It's not a mechanical keyboard. The LED was kinda dim. I ended up replacing it with a much better keyboard.

The keyboard functions and feels we exactly the same as the back lit version. I have one of each. Just the keys are quieter.

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, the keyboard is not backlit. It is flat matte just as the pictures show. :)

On, they highest setting they are pretty bright, but they can be dimmed down quite a bit too. I like the breathing mode and I don't find it too bright even in a dark room while gaming. This is the best back lit keyboard I have ever owned.

The keyboard is not backlit. I touch type and know where the keys are but on occasion when my husband uses it he just tips the screen down a little and the light of the screen is sufficient to see the keys.

This keyboard is NOT back lit. It's a solid keyboard though. I've been using a Logitech G110 keyboard for over a year (it's back lit with hotkeys) and that is also solid keyboard. I've spilled orange juice and soda on the keys and they eventually got unstuck. Granted it was $100 at the time and it still is, you can find a $60 version of a Logitech backlit keyboard. By the way, the lights on it are blue and red so anything that is within that color spectrum you can adjust the back light on the Logitech keyboard. Hope I could help!

Yeap. Keyboard backlight fully defeatable. I was a little concerned that the green accents would look silly in person but IMHO looks way better in real life than the pictures.

No the keyboard has no backlight but the keys are bright white on a black background so are easily visible in low light.

Francis, the backlit keyboard is a nice soft white backlit keyboard and the lighting is easily adjusted from bright to dim with the F5/F6 keys on the keyboard.

no lights on keyboard, screen is super bright so I don't have a problem with not seeing the keys in the dark

Yes. The keyboard is back lit kind of bluish white. There are three brightness levels - four if you count "off."

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.
