I bought this keyboard, but I do not know how to turn on the backlit light for the keys. What key should you use to turn them on?

The red star button on the upper left will turn it on (it doesn't stay on long)

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.

Keys don't have a backlight, it lights up near the combatant-x in the middle of the keyboard, near the top right hand side, and the sides of the keyboard, very good keyboard, would recommend it.

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

the keyboard has to be turned on and connected to your tablet with Bluetooth. This is an indication that your hooked up. It must be ready to go, when you start typing the backlight comes on the top of the keys when you stop typing the light goes off in about 2 sec. If your not connected with Bluetooth,the keyboard doesn't light up at all.

I use the logitech illuminated keyboard (awesome keyboard). The 2 kvm switched I listed above work with mine. I'm not sure about all function keys ( I didn't install the logitech software). The back lighting does work.

I purchased this keyboard for my husband. His does not have backlighting except for the small three indicator spots in the very top right corner. They have a blue back lighting. There may be a setting to allow for backlighting but if so, he has it in the off setting. It looks like a plain black keyboard.

Looks to me that the keys are illuminated underneath. The keys don't appear to be actually lit individually. However the blue lighting make it harder so see the keys. They should have make it where you can change the lit colors.

As soon as you plug the cable into a USB port, the LED lights will come on. The keyboard draws its powerfrom the USB port. It the keys don't light, you have a bad keyboard.

It appears the backlighting is disabled (no light even pressing the 'sun' symbol) until the keyboard is paired with the ipad although the keyboard has been turned on & before pairing the devices? Please confirm if this's defective? Thank you.

Hi Alan, you have to press the Fn key at the same time with the F9 key.When you use the laptop with the AC power, the backlit keyboard turns on automatically but when you use it with the battery,the backlit is off as the first choice. Regards,Victor

Make sure everything is on plug and unplug it. That key combination at the same time shifts the colors and works fine on mine.

What a great question. I never noticed the issue until you brought it up. All my keys units light up well and evenly except the 2,5,8, and 9 keys, which are still visible in a darkened room, but clearly much dimmer. Thanks for bringing this up.

Try the function "FN" key with the "Z" key. On my laptop it switches through one of 3 modes each time I hit function + z: keys lit for 10 seconds after last press, keys always lit, and key lights always off.

I have been told that your can turn on the Light sensor which controls backlighting by pressing Fn+A to on/off AI light sensor. Have to dig my keyboard out to try it tomorrow. Good luck

All the keys light up for me. None of the different lighting modes just dim the F5 key. I think you should return it.

Sorry, didn't keep this keyboard to say for sure. Found this on Youtube explaining the illumination features. But, maybe there's a company telephone number that you can call? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPMh9yzAxoo
