MacBook keyboard

[kart]

I have just purchased a second hand 12" MacBook. 32 battery cycles, its pretty new..
I have noticed with the keyboard backlight on, what looks like dust that the light is showing up (behind the keys) could someone please verify if this is how these keyboards are brand new out of the box, or if it is infact something i.e. dust behind the keys. All keys work 100% fine, nothing unusual at all, can only see when the backlight is on





Thanks

That definitely doesn't look right.

Indeed.

Try some compressed air to clean it out?

It's dust. The person who owned it before you had a month of eating cheese and crackers apparently.

out the box brand new, mind looks exactly the same

I will pretty much agree with this. While it is dust, it is easy to remove with an air spray. That is pretty much how they will all look after a little bit of usage.

That's why I have asked the question, I am sure that when I looked at them at the Apple store they all seemed to look like this..

Compressed air may be a solution

So whats your concern if it is dust? That you got cheated?

That is the solution, and this is normal. It is just more noticeable now b.c of the style of backlight used.
