As the title suggests i bought an Asus X550JK - DM081H wich comes with a non-backlit keyboard.
its a great laptop budget and performance wise but i do a lot of work in the dark so a backlit keyboard would be great for me.
Does my laptop support a backlit keyboard?

And if that is possible.. As a bonus question, does anyone know of a good place to find one? (im on a nordic style keyboard)

Lol!

@OP: You can only upgrade to a backlit keyboard if your motherboard has the connector for it. I don't believe this model has a separate PCB with that connector, so you are stuck with using that maglite.
