I have no clue if it goes to sleep; my guess is it does not as it has an on - off switch. Keys are NOT backlit.

It will go into sleep mode from inactivity, but you should probably shut it off if you remember. It will help with the battery life. The key pad is not backlit. I like it a lot. It was referred to me by one of my techie friends and about six of us have purchased them. The keys are firm and more like a regular keyboard. I don't like the soft keys. Also amazon has the best prices on them. I'm glad I bought it.

Yes it goes to sleep when closed.. I'm not sure what you mean about keypad backlit? I love this product and I feel my iPad is safe and much easier to use typing instead of hen pecking... Buy it now!!!

Mine stays on as long as the keyboard is being used. After sitting idle for a few minutes it will turn off like it's in a sleep mode. Once you tap a key, it comes back on.

No. Keyboard is not a "backlit."But it is a nice laptop. Bought it for my "Gamer-Daughter" for her birthday. She loves it . . .Hope this info helps :)

The keypad is backlit. I like the slide up lid because it 'locks' at the top and holds itself up while I use the keypad.

You are correct - it goes into Sleep Mode when closed and wakes up when opened.

I found the key pad has to be fully charged. I have had no issues with mine.

The sleep/wake works for me all the time. You hear a "click" sound when you close the case, provided you have the keyboard turned on (I turn the keyboard off after closing the case sometimes to conserve the charge, but it goes a very long time before needing a charge so most times I just leave it on).

Yes, the 6162 has back lit keys that stay softly lighted. The display lights brightly when the keys are used, but times out automatically.

The Key Pad only lights up after the first key is pushed. Otherwise, it would drain the battery way to fast. My original Key Pad's battery which is still in use has lasted over 4 years. The new Key Pad and battery is close to two years old now.

sleep/wake must be manually operated. It is not automatic, if that is your question. We also found, as did others, that for our model, the keyboard cover over the on/off button needed to be carved out because it was slightly off-set (about 1/8 inch) and would turn the machine on accidentally.

It is suppose to shut off after a period of time of inactivity. I think it was after a couple of hours. I usually use it for about an hour and it has not shutdown during that period. As to the question of a "sleep mode" i don't think so.

Yes it has an on off switch. It also will go to sleep after about fI've minutes of inactivity

No, the key pad is not backlit but I have no problem seeing the numbers at night since the background of the numbers is a fairly bright white

Yes, it has a backlit keyboard but the light does not stay on constantly. I have not really checked to see if it can be turned on during full use or turn it off altogether.

I like that it goes off. It is in my bedroom. I have a security keypad that won't go off and the light is annoying.

There isnt a wake/sleep function on the key board neither is there any mention in the user guide (a single sheet of paper). There is however an on and off switch. I would imagine there is a sleep function as if you stop typing for several minutes when you resume the first two or three letter will not show up but tapping any key and wait a second or two it will work fine. Whats bugging me with this case is that the lens opening at the back of the case is not large enoughand each time I get ready to take a photo the lens is partially covered by the case; this requires a push off the tablet to reposition the opening.

Remote. Yes. Sleep. I can't remember but it does have a mode for just turning off the backlight.
