Backlit Keyboards ala macs

[EvanAdams]

I find myself longing after the macintosh backlit keyboards. Are there any PC companies with this feature?

I hesistantly say the answer is no. I think the best tha can be done is a USB light.

Have you ever used one? I love my powerbook to death don't get me wrong, but honestly I think it is more of a sales gimmick and a "look what my keyboard can do!" type of thing more than it is actual a useful part of the design. The glow from the screen usually washes out the glow from the keyboard, and it can sometimes actually make it even harder to read.

IBM T4x has a built-in keyboard light and it works pretty well in the dark.

All of the X, R, and T series have the keyboard light.

It's kind of surprising that no other manufacturers have a similar feature.

I've seen some, but I find em really annoying. the light is brighter than my LCD monitor.

it is lame that the powerbooks and not the ibooks are lit

Would this work?
