Can you still see the lighted keyboard through the keyboard cover?

Yes. The cover is lovely. The cover is thin, slighty frosted, but the keyboard light does show through. I right now have the overhead light on, because I am about to start practicing violin, and must see my music clearly. But, I turned the light off just now, and the light is even clearer.I love being able to lift that cover out, shake it off, and drop it back in. It is a great asset to lap tops. I don't eat at my laptop, but stuff does seem to get in there, even a occasional gnat, dies and drops in there. I tend to work at night sometimes, and these little bugs, which come in with letting my dogs in and out at night, wil be attracted to the computor light, from time, to time. Yes. The cover is lovely.

You absolutely can. I don't like to use the cover because it makes the keys feel strange but they still light up clearly

I just got mine for my macbook air yesterday, and the backlight does not show through the keys. You can see the light around the keys, but the letters themselves don't light up.

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.

Yes. It isnt completly clear but it allows the keys to shine through even at the lowest setting for the backlight.

Yes perfectly, but if you have a backlit keyboard it will not illuminate. But is a great way to provide protection to your keyboard and inner workings.

No, however if you want to, you can pull up the touch screen keyboard. Also the screen does a pretty good job of lighting the keyboard.

No-the keyboard does NOT light up. I don't think I ever have had one that did.

If you mean do the keys glow in the dark, they don't. I tilt my screen down to type making it hard to see screen.

Yes the keyboard is back lit, it goes dark when not using it to conserve battery life, but as soon as something is touche it lights up.

No it doesn't and that was partly why I bought it. Unless there is a secret way to turn it on, that statement about having a lighted keyboard was not true.

Yup. My keyboard has red LED back lighting and you can see the keys just fine in the dark even at the lowest setting.

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

No it's not illuminated. There are small lights at the top of the keyboard that when on indicate Number Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock, that's all.

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

Yes. It has an easy keyboard that is backlit making it easier to see the keyboard. It is easy to use.

No, The Keyboard is not visible in the dark. You must touch a key on the pad before the keyboard lights. We press any key an then press the enter key before we enter a code.

Yes, you can! You can raise the ipad and shift(push) the keyboard back as if you want to close the cover. Than you will only see the ipad.
