There are 3-4 different backlighting modes...one of which is completely turned off. No issues entering bios after installation. Had this keyboard for about 6 months and I love it. The only thing that's missing is volume control, but can manage without that.

Yes there is. hit the function key then I believe it's f11 will dim it and eventually turn in off. just spam it till it goes off

Yes you can turn off the backlight by pressing the top bar where it says dim

Indirect lighting is OK, my only issue is that I have a slid-out keyboard tray - because the sensors tend to lie underneath the desk I occasionally have to pull the keyboard out and set it in some strong lighting to get it charged back up.

They can be left on, there's a button at the top right of the keyboard to shut them off too when your computer is on idle. It is a great keyboard though, I enjoy it. If you stay up late and have people sleeping and can't have the lights on, it's good to have this. Plus the keys are set up pretty good. It takes some getting used to from a normal keyboard. But yes, they do stay on unless you want them off.

There is an option to have the keys backlit.... simply press and hold the fn key while tapping the spacebar which will either turn on or off the backlights.

As the other response indicated, the sound is mechanical, not electronic, so it can't be turned off...but it is not particularly loud--it more sounds like the closing of the electrical contact than a deliberate click. I actually haven't used the keyboard all that much so far, but it seems pretty decent for the price.best wishes, Tom

Yes, you have off, 3 levels of brightness and a cycle mode which goes basically over the course of several seconds goes from bright to dark and back to bright. A cool party trick, not so much useful in actual use. Basically you have 5 levels to go through, including off. I don't recommend off though, the dimmest setting suffices if you are contemplating night use. There is no bleeding of light from under the keys so it is not distracting. Even the medium level isn't too bad, though it is definitely brighter. The brightest mode is VERY bright, but not blindingly so. The LED's are very even and make it seem like the letters are floating :) I use my keyboard mainly in low-light, by the way. -edit- No problems entering BIOS.

Yes, the lights are white and can be turned on and off via a button on the keyboard.

The keys have 2 levels of brightness as well as off, for no lights. There is one button that lets you set it on, brighter, or off.

Yup, lights come on, batteries are decent. Red warning light means it's time to charge... but I can't seen to turn off keyboard sounds when using this... strange because it should

You can turn on and off the LED back light on the keyboard using the scroll lock button. The mouse is permanently lit; no on and off button. I'm not sure about the warranty.

You cannot turn off the keyboard light, only change the lighted colors of the keys themselves from either blue to red, or from red to purple. So you have three color choices of what color you'd like your keys to be, but you cannot turn off the keyboard light itself. The keys always remain lit while you're using your computer, then it turns off when you shut down.

Yeah there is. If this laptop is been using without any lights on, it will have bright purple(?) light on the keyboard. It looks beautiful honestly.

Yes, a couple of ways. One of the function keys (the best way to turn on and off while typing as needed) or, if you want it off permanently, it can be disabled in the DEVICE MANAGER or in the CONTROL PANEL under the MOUSE / POINTER Icon.

Yes, the keyboard is backlit, with the option to adjust the brightness of the backlight. You can turn it off, or have it on any of 3 brightness settings.
