Recently, I have noticed that the backlight is a little inconsistent. The centre keys are very bright (6,7,y,u,h,b,n) and those immediately surrounding those keys (t,g,j,m) are quite well lit, with everything else being very dull (such as the 9,0,l,:,/ keys). I don't know if i have done anything to cause this. I never noticed this problem before. Is this normal or should I contact applecare about this and get it fixed?
Got a tip for us?

it is meant to be enough to not blind you at night when you actually need it, Mine is fairly even
Totally readable on minimum brightness at night, having an actual brightness choice is overkill in my opinion since you don't need the full brightness at night which will probably be brighter than the screen

O ok I get what you guys are saying. I'm not trying to be picky or anything,but it's that I just got my macbook pro back from applecare from a different defect (trackpad issue). When I got the report, it stated that they replaced the top part of the computer. When I checked the trackpad, and the keys (backlight all the way up), I was surprised to see that all of the keys on the right side are totally dimmed than on the left side. Aside of that, is there anyone else who has a similar problem as my mbp?
you' re not alone, I just picked up a MBP 15 Custom Order with 2.2/8gb and have the same issue. I've emailed my local apple business team and will keep you posted. I'm sure it's a defect cause I've had numerous 15's and none of them have this issue...
it's actually very annoying because it almost blinds you at high setting while the rest of the keys are dulll
