<div style='font: 14pt ; text-align: left; '>It's pretty cool, the backlighting is just right IMO. Good thing too, cause you can't adjust the brightness. It's got a built-in battery pack that will last 18 hours per charge, if you don't use the backlight (with backlight I think it lasts half the time, didn't see anything definate) One little gripe I do have it that it's pretty dang small, and I've got fairly large hands, so my hands start to cramp just a little bit after extended play. It sure is compact when folded up though. Makes it easy to carry around. :)</div>
