why no backlit external keyboard

[Acorn]

just curious why after all this time they finally update the mac keyboard and what is the update? Two batteries instead of three. cmon apple backlit keyboards are nice. hook me up so I can get rid of this backlit logitech. re-release a backlit version of a corded (no battery worries) full keyboard with number keys. breath life in to it again.

Because most people don't care or want backlit keyboards especially if it impacts battery life. If its important to you buy one from Logitech or elsewhere.
