Is it possible and does anyone know where to find a soft touch backlit keyboard upgrade for this laptop?

Hi @guppajoe,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

For your HP 15.6‑inch Laptop PC 15‑fd0000 (B1PW0AV), the answer, sadly, is that it's very unlikely you can simply “upgrade” to a soft‑touch, backlit keyboard unless your specific unit already shipped with a backlit variant.

If your 15‑fd0000 did not ship with a backlit keyboard, trying to upgrade now is likely not worth it — you may end up paying for a keyboard that never lights up because the motherboard lacks the necessary backlight wiring.

Instead, you might consider:

Getting a USB backlit external keyboard (cheap and works well)

If you really need a built-in backlit keyboard, consider getting a laptop whose configuration comes with it by default

I hope this helps.
