You get a lot of hints on key position from your peripheral vision. I can touch type without much trouble for basic English sentences and the like, but when I code in low light (late at night, at home, with the lights dimmed way down so that I get to bed earlier and it doesn't bother other people), it's annoying to find some of the special keys I use frequently in navigating code: PgUp/PgDn/Home/End (numeric keypad on a laptop), Insert, Fkeys, backslash, etc.
When I bought my laptop, backlit keyboards weren't standard. Now they are and I'm looking forward to getting a new one.
