Unibody keyboard...is it an optical illusion or am I ill?

[moel]

Hey all.

Just a quicky..i'm trying to ascertain if I have low blood pressure or something, but under 'energy saving light bulbs' with a yellowish tinge to them..when i look at the spaces between the keys on the keyboard I see that optical illusion thing where dots appear, you know the one..

Does anyone else get that or is it just me?

 

[Ann P]

Haha, are you sure you're ok?

 

[Mirabella]

Sadly, my keyboard isn't generating this optical illusion for me. Perhaps I need to experiment with different viewing distances.

 

[TRUCRACKER]

I get it in the pic you posted but defiantly not with the keyboard.

 

[dsprimal]

interesting....lol

Or with different types of drugs...

I noticed this the first day I bought a MacBook Pro a few years ago. It's exactly like the picture you posted. There appears to be dots between the keys. You're not alone at all. I guess it really is the yellow energy-saving bulbs.

Don't see a thing ;(

 

[VladM]

I also see this. It's because of the contrast between the dark keys and the light aluminium.

Its hard to see in real life but I ses it in this pic from apples site

 

[piwi]

I see it sometimes too

 

[dusk007]

Awesome on the picture it is easy to see, although its is more like dark grey and not black.

Only one question remains.

Is this a feature or a bug??

 

[Coswyn]

Yeah, I see it too.

Haha, same.

 

[apple.gr]

Hahaha, next time you want to type something try to see the screen not the keyboard.

 

[rywat]

Yeah, I see it too.

lmao

 

[Saurabh]

i see the same optical illusion, its good that you see it, its your cones and rods at work in the back of your eye balls

 

[JTToft]

I see it too sometimes. It's more visible in pictures than in real life, I think

It's "just one more thing"... Steve Jobs is announcing this in WWDC, I guess....
