I was thinking about buying the clear keyboard and realized my keyboard has no backlight. I have even used it in the dark and been frustrated at the lack of backlight loool

Fn + space runs through the different brightness options. How did I not know this was a thing 🤦‍♂️

    this and the finger print reader are the things that actually sold me on wanting to get one (hopefully 16 soon)

    I wonder why no one in PC land seems to use an ambient light sensor like Apple to control the backlight, even removed the keyboard button recently because they think that should be enough, which would avoid anyone ever not finding it

    Does the back light stay lit constantly or only when in use? I myself prefer one that is on all the time.

    I just realized this is probably what the little icon on the space bar means

    You don’t read product specs before you buy? Or manuals? Obviously a backlit keyboard wasn’t that important to you?

    Same here. Keep forgetting because I turn it off during day to conserve power. Then several weeks or months later rediscover that i dont need external lighting to use my laptop 😂😭

    Minimum requirement for any laptop IMO.

    Same reason I haven’t bought a Surface Laptop Go, even though that’s exactly what I want, except missing this key feature.
