    Just curious how often users leave their keyboard backlight on? or under what conditions?

    This is a multiple choice poll. I think it's apparent, first part is to choose what you do plugged in and on battery (please only choose one "plugged in" and one "battery", second part is what you do with the keyboard backlighting colors.

    dont know really, maybe because i thought your name was john and its easier than typing HTWingNut :)

    i bet youve been called a lot worse than jonh before but sorry HTWingNut, i wont call you john anymore but HTWingNut from now on.

    you still need to get back in your padded room though HTWingNut

    I often turn mine off when I'm watching a movie or something to avoid the glare - only if it's dark. This coincides with having it on battery usually too.

    I wish I had one to turn off! Promised myself my next laptop would have one or I punch myself in the face.
    Let you know how that goes .

    I use an external CMStorm TK, so I typically don't use backlit keyboard unless I'm not using the keyboard.

    Also, why would 5 people call HTWingNut an idiot :mad: maybe he is one for putting the choice there after all...
