Ive had a 13" macbook pro since July and im pretty sure it's the newest version. Not once has the keyboard lit up, i didnt even know that the keys lit up on macbook pros until i saw my friend's do it. do some macbook pros not have keyboard backlights or is mine just messed up?
 
Yes, every "Macbook Pro" branded Apple laptop has a backlit keyboard. Look at your F5/F6 keys (F9/F10 on the older MBPs) for the keyboard brightness keys. You have to be in a dark setting in order for the backlight to come on.

ok im currently sitting in total darkness pushing my f5 and f6 keys (which by the way dont have any symbols on them) and nothing is happening. i went into my system preferences and searched the entire thing for the box i apparently have to check with no luck.
