Among the best features that Apple has made standard in their laptops is the backlit keyboard. The recent introduction of the very cool looking CODE keyboard reminded me of an option I wish Apple would introduce– the choice of a backlit keyboard for the desktop.

The Magic Trackpad demonstrated that laptop centric hardware design could be transitioned successfully to the desktop. Enabling backlit keys would bring another good idea back to the desktop.

There are plenty of other great options that I wish Apple would offer when purchasing a keyboard; black or white keys, compact or number pad, USB or Bluetooth, Mac or iOS layout, but none are as practical and desirable as having backlit keys for the desktop user.
