Greetings, I recently bought my new laptop that has a silver keyboard and I'm having great difficulty in using it in certain light. Sadly it's not backlit and I would appreciate any suggestions how to overcome the problem please. I'm even thinking of letrasetting each key to try and correct it but that seems a bit drastic.
I should mention that under the bright lighting in the store display it was fine.
Many thanks, 😊

I don't know why the designers did not listen to the end customers. We mentioned this problem few years ago, I also talked with Dell (one of my Dell machines has same problem).
I solved the problem by using external keyboard (Actually I use external keyboards, mice and monitors for all my machines, except the Microsoft Surface) . What wrong with using darker keyboards on silver tops as many HP business machines.
Back to your case, you may turn off backlit.
Regards.
