Q: On the backlit keyboard, does the space bar light up as well? Mine currently does not light up, but I cannot remember if it did previously? Thanks

It's supposed to, at least the top. If anyone is ready this and thinking of buy this laptop, don't. Get the 15" or go with a different company. HP really messed up the 14" and their warranty doesn't cover it.

No it does not. I think that is how it is evem the HP envy M6 I bought before does not light up as well and that is not important I think because of the position of the backspace key and the size. I hop that helps

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.

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.

Our space bar had issues too. We returned it when the seller said they could send out another one. 3 weeks later I hear they are out of stock! When searching the internet, it seems lots of these keyboards have this same defect.

I have had my keyboard for a several months and it is terrific! When the light are on and the back-lighting is one it is all blue like the back-lighting. In the upper right hand corner of the case is a little hole that is the back-lighting button. When you turn it on the entire keyboard is a lovely blue with dark letters that appear to be floating. By clicking the little button you can lower the background light by two steps. the fourth click turns it of and all is white. Sounds like you aren't turning the back-lighting on. Hope this helps.

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

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

The keyboard does not have backlight ability. The text font on the keys give it that illusion but it does not.

Also just wanted to say what one of the other responders stated that if you have a keyboard backlight like on the Caps lock or Wi-Fi it will not show. PS my model is DV6 7200EA so minor differences in where one or to keyboard buttons are.

my phone definitely lights up in the dark, and it lights up really well so that I can read. that is the screen. the keyboard also lights up. I have the LGL55C m odel. It does shut off but just touching a button brings it right back on.

There are lights on the caps lock and F11/mute keys but that's it. The keyboard itself is not back lit.

The SteelSeries Logo at the top right of the keyboard lights up, but the keyboard itself is not backlit. I have had mine for about a year now and still enjoy using it (World of Warcraft keyset). I'm not sure how it stacks up against the Mad Catz Strike 3.

Anti ghosting and the keyboard light up green through out the whole keyboard each key is individually lit up green. Basically your paying extra for the green lights personally i liked it alot the green backlit very awesome!

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

You mean the keyboard doesn't work anymore? I have not had any problems with my unit and I'm very happy with it. If I had to complain it would be not being able to upgrade the 128GB RAM. Other than that I am extremely pleased. Good luck with your problem. Sorry I couldn't help.

Back light can be off, low, medium, high and "breathing" mode, where it fades from brightest to dimmest and back again.I had no problems with BIOS and this is the keyboard I used to set up my last build.
