Unevenly lit MacBook Pro retina spacebar

[macfreak101]

I just noticed this, the space bar on my macbook pro retina is unevenly lit. The sides of the space bar are brighter and the center of the space bar is not as bright as the sides. Is this normal? All other keys are evenly lit. It's a 2014 model.

make sure there is nothing caught between the sides. also is the brightness turns up to the max?

Perfectly normal.

Typed while thinking: God you people are obsessed with your machines.

I still mean the perfectly normal, that's how they're backlit since they've had back lighting.

Spacebar looks normal but the V and G keys look dim to me in the pic.

Note: That is because it is angle of view dependent, not because you have a problem

I'd take it into the store and demand to speak to a manager. How are you supposed to be able to find the space key with that sort of post-stevejob era backlighting. If I had a space key like that my productivity would drop by 85.68%. It's unbelievable what apple as come to... no wonder stocks are tanking.

I've only had the key guard a month or two, and already you can see finger wear patterns when you hold it up to the light, even after washing it with soap\toothbrush. ..they're well worth the outlay to protect your keyboard IMHO.

That is because the key guard material is soft, my MBP keyboard is just fine after 3 yrs of heavy usage so I'm, not sure what problem you are fixing...?

V and G looks fine to me; looks the same as all the others.
