Well, not Belgian, but I can get the US, French and German layout backlit for the L701x.
The backlit's are becoming increasingly difficult to source from China.

This evening I have picked up my backlit keyboard ( L701x ) from Lee Barlow of Kuzotronic at his trading address, he fitted it also in less than 10 mins (pro). I am very particular about getting what I pay for and the quality of the keyboards he sources are outstanding. The enter key and space on my old dell supplied keyboard felt very loose but this backlit keyboard is a different experience very solid feeling, and well worth the money to upgrade. The backlit feature is what I was missing after previously owning a XPS 16 it was hard to live without. This almost completes the laptop and after seeing the AUO screen in his laptop I will be making another purchase from him in the very near future to get a full 1080p experience also (incredible quality).
After having a long chat with him Lee is very transparent about his procurement and endeavours to source quality parts adding only a minimal mark up. The variations in prices are based on availability of stock and how much it costs him to get them delivered only. I would strongly recommend his products if you are looking for a keyboard or a screen as they truely are outstanding.
Thanks Lee and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Thanks for the kind comments Matt. It was great to meet you today.
For anyone else still searching, we have 1x UK and 6x US backlits in stock for the L701x.
We also have 2x L501x keyboards, but these are both in US layout as we can't get hold of the UK version. Grrrrr!!!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Will a blacklit keyboard for the L702X work in a L701X?
-
No definitely not. The L702x uses the new chiclet style and the fittings are in a completely different location on the board. -
Hmm, that interesting when I installed the back-lit keyboard it did not show the keyboard brightness control. I do have quick set installed. The keyboard you have is the one on ebay with the CD/DVD eject button. Maybe thats why it shows up.

Try uninstalling and then re-installing Quickset....also, make sure you have the current BIOS firmware.
Try this and then let us know if you are still having problems.
Thanks

Hey guys, just took receipt of my XPS15 from the outlet store and really want to get my hands on the backlit keyboard.
It's got 1080p screen and all of the other sexy specs, so I'm not prepared to scrimp here
Any ideas where I could find one? I see there are the 17 models available on Lee's site.
Cheers!
