Backlit Keyboard

Backlit keyboards provide visibility in dark environments by illuminating the symbols on the keys using LEDs present below the keyboard. You can turn on
the backlight manually or configure the backlight to turn on automatically when your computer is placed in a dark environment.
On a Dell laptop computer, there are generally three lighting states available:
Full keyboard/touchpad brightness
Half keyboard/touchpad brightness
No lighting
Pressing the <Fn> and the right-arrow key toggles between the three lighting states.
NOTE: Backlit keyboard may not be available on all computers. See the specifications of your computer for more details.
