Ok, I have this product. It works ok, but not so simple to assign functions to the various buttons, because (unless I am mistaken) the only way to do so is with the CH Products Control Manager Program, which, contrary to what I have experienced, is not that easy.
The panel is NOT backlit. What I am planning to do, if I can relearn how to use the d...n Control Manager Program again, is use Glow in the Dark paper that assists me in locating the buttons in the dark. Add to that, I bought a cheap, but very effective USB powered light off of Ebay, for 8 bucks, with free shipping.
