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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bobbyinchocolatetown from Surprising keyboard from HP that is awesome. Good feel when typing, Keys light up when in use or when keyboard senses your hands. Quiet, connects using USB receiver. I wish the keyboard would use the same USB receiver as my HP mouse, but you must use the keyboard receiver for it to work. You could connect via bluetooth but I have not tried that yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Meitgol1 from Excellent Backlit Keyboard Perfect solution for a high quality backlit keyboard. No batteries needed as its rechargeable via included USB cable. Keyboard has all the standard keys plus number keypad and the function keys are programmable. Download the HP Accessories App and you can manage the full functionality of the keyboard. Only issue is that the keyboard is silver and key labels are tough to see if the backlight isnt on. Regardless, this is the best backlit keyboard on the market. Logitech had a good one but foolishly dicontinued it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Andrea O. from Low profile keys, good response Nice feel, responsive keys. I was using one with taller keys, so I’m still getting used to this one and its lower-profile keys. I did have to cut my nails shorter so that they didn’t interfere with other keys, so perhaps if you have long nails, you might find yourself striking the wrong keys? Otherwise, it’s nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rmed from Get the Set Keyboard is so smooth a sleek. Love the motion sensor to turn the back lights on when I slightly touch or over over the board to type. This set with the wordless mouse is a must! Here to at least 2 years of awesomeness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skorr from Love my new keyboard I recently purchased a new HP laptop and this keyboard marches PERFECTLY with it! I love how light it is and that it's rechargeable vs using throw away batteries to power it. It looks very classy and the light blue background is great for my eyes. I haven't figured out all the programmable settings yet but my son was more than happy to help with that. Definitely worth checking out if you like having a separate wireless keyboard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cubs219 from Very comfortable fancy keyboard This keyboard has very quiet sound when typing which is what I prefer. Very smooth key operation. The backlight has 4 levels of brigtness or can be turned off. I only work in a well lit room so I keep it off. I have not used the light. I love that is rechargeable and charges with USB C so I wont have to buy batteries anymore. My phone charger is USB C also so I can just use that to charge it if on my desk when needed. It can connect BlueTooth or with wireless dongle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LeeRocks99 from Great Product I am just in love with this wireless Keyboard. Very nice design to it and quite.. Love that back lite that you can adjust to help see the keys when light in the room is limited. Finally a keyboard that you can recharge and not have to have batteries on hand. HP has a winner here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsMb from Love this. Perfect. Love this keyboard. Only 2 things I was a little disappointed in. Programmable keys are great but theres no option for a MAIL button which I would have liked. Secondly the directions for syncing to connect are a little confusing. It's simple but explained wierd. Good price and well worth it.

The backlight does not stay on. How can I change the settings to make it stay on? Sometimes it stays on. Sometimes it does not. and even when I press the backlight button, it only stays on temporarily.

Asked by: AArmin
To adjust the sleep setting on your backlit keyboard select Control Panel > Hardware and Sound> Windows Mobility Center. In the Windows Mobility Center, look for the Keyboard brightness (or Keyboard backlighting) setting, select its corresponding slider, and pull that slider over to the right. The sleep setting is to maximize the battery life of your keyboard. Changing this setting will greatly impact your battery life.
