Our Mac Book Pro is the first one I've ever used that is backlit. It doesn't really matter to me if it is or isn't though.

I wish I could have gotten the v1, with the 18 macro keys, mine is a v2 and only has 6 physical buttons and then 3 "M" buttons to swap between the sets....not as awesome but it still works.

I don't but wish I did.

I have a backlit cordless on my desktop, which I love.

I never really thought about backlit keyboards until I worked on my daughter's laptop that wasn't backlit and hated it...
