- justinator 7mo agoLearned touch typing just fine on a non-backlit keyboard. What would you feel would be the issue?
- pbreit 7mo agoCan't see the keys in a dark classroom or bedroom.

- justinator 7mo ago...the skill of touch typing is that you don't need to look at the keyboard. And the keys are still labeled...
- Aurornis 7mo agoMy experience with students (outside of engineering) is that the most common show stopper for MacBooks is price. They’re not nit picking about keyboard backlighting. Most people have no problem using a keyboard in the dark or with light from the screen. Backlit keyboards are a nice-to-have, not a showstopper.
- pbreit 7mo agoI would say the vast, vast majority of people are completely unable to use a non-lit keyboard in the dark.
- Findecanor 7mo agoThe F and J keys still have bumps, to be able to locate them and position your hands correctly on the keyboard without looking.
