Letters hard to read on silver keyboards

[Ron51a]

I was looking at the Spectre x360 laptops at BestBuy recently, and noticed how difficult it was to read letters on some of the silver keys.  If the light hits the keys a certain way, you can't make out the letters. You just the silver top. 

Has anyone noticed this?

Thanks

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers.

As I understand the Letters are hard to read on the silver keyboards,

Just to clarify the silver keyboard is the part of the design you've picked and if yes, there's nothing we can do to change its color, 

That said, you could toggle between the backlit to avail better results on viewing the keys without much trouble: Click here for the details.

Keep me posted for further assistance,

Same problem - I bought two laptops and am going to return both.  Not worth getting divorced over.  Big mistake HP!

To compound the white character on silver key problem HP has not come up with a white character on black replacement keyboard and they can only be obtained from Asian suppliers.
