I can only see the backlit key feature being useful with the LCD on low brightness in power saving settings, but then again, if you're in power saving why would you want the backlighting to use more power? It's not a really big issue, I just dont find it very functional, so for now I have the feature turned off.
Me too. I managed to procure a PB with a partially illuminated keyboard, so I can do comparisons on the fly.



When something else fails I'll send it in for fixing, but in the meantime, backlighting is off.
