backlit keyboard

Illuminated typing surface

A backlit keyboard has lights beneath or behind the keys, illuminating them for visibility in dim conditions.

Common on laptops and gaming keyboards, the feature helps users type in low light without external illumination: The backlit keyboard made it easy to work on the plane after they dimmed the cabin lights.
