Hi all - A question raised countless times over the years:

Why has apple STILL not made the wireless keyboard backlit? Is it purely for battery purposes as surely efficiency is good enough now for an LED backlighting?

I find the white keys with black text are good enough with the screen right there pumping out light.

But other manufacturers like logitech make them, so I don't see why they couldn't add the option..
 
I share my office with two 20 year old boys who like it pitch dark while gaming. So, I put my face really close to the keyboard to see. I don't really like the Apple wireless keyboard - no number pad, weird spacing of the keys. I might get something else eventually.
