I know that my laptop doesn't have a backlit keyboard. Maybe I wasn't clear in my question.

I saw a keyboard for sale with backlit supposedly compatible with my laptop so I wanted to double check and see if my laptop supports the upgrade. I suppose that if it exists for sale for my laptop model then maybe it does, but better safe than sorry so I asked.

 

I see that the link you provided says that if it does not come with it,  then it doesn't support it, so that answer my question.

 

Thanks so much.
