Rated 3 out of 5 by ChasiGroup from Battery Life Not Effective Great keyboard. The biggest issue is less than 24 hour lasting battery. It needs to be charged every day to stay functional.

Rated 4 out of 5 by OMthe from Hope your eyesight is good! Keyboard is heavy, charges quickly and has some great features, including backlit keys and all kinds of bells and whistles. Unfortunately the lettering is all white on light silver and is VERY hard to read when you are typing in a room with the lights on. In dim conditions is much better, but all of the text and symbols are just so small that it’s very hard to read them even the. (The function key row at the top is the worst, but it’s obvious the designers went for looks instead of basic functionality. I may return it and use the non-backlit one that came with the machine just to save me the headache of squinting all the time. Aside from that, everything works fine and has a lot of versatility. I’m just not sure that the benefits would outweigh the migraine I will get trying to figure out what weird feature is linked to the special keys.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cescalante from HP 970 Backlite wireless keyboard I had ordered the 34 inch all-in-one desktop, it unfortunately came with a keyboard with no backlite keys. So, using points I accumulated with HP, I purchased this keyboard, and am very happy with its performance so far. I just wish it had been standard with my large all-in-one purchase.

Asked by: Anonymous

does this key board have an aluminum chassie, or is it all plastic ?

Asked by: carl28

I see that shift-FN locks the function keys on but this also seems to turn off the backlight. How do I lock the function keys on but retain the backlight?
