★★★★★ using game gripper with psx emu on droid and wanted to kill the keyboard backlight to save battery...perfect!

★★★★★ Works on Droid. When booting have to run app twice to enable backlight -.-

★★★★★ Holy smoke's, this app is the stuff of legends and battery life hero's. Bn looking for ways to kill QWERTY lights. AMAZING, Thank you much!!!!

★★★★★ Minimalist and perfect! Works a treat on my Droid 4 when three other apps I tried would not. The super simple functionality is most appreciated!

★★★★★ For those of you with a mytouch: this app is only beneficial to people with white or brown g1's with the gold keyboard.

★★☆☆☆ Moto Backflip - Never worked, even when used on rooted device, process kept running after term. App froze on test

★★☆☆☆ Fail :-( Unfortunately all this app did was turn my screen brightness up or down and did not turn the keyboard or front menu button back lights on or offor off (Rooted Motorola Droid 4 with BusyBox installed). Now trying (:_"Backlight Off"_:) By a Developer with the initials are A. A.
