Images of a new Apple Wireless Keyboard with backlight have been spotted on the online Apple Store.

The new keyboard features backlight brightness controls on the F5 and F6 keys. It also replaces the old Eject key with a Power button.

While the new keyboard image can be seen on the Czech and Hungary Apple Stores, it's not on the U.S. store as of yet. However, there is an image of an Arabic keyboard on the U.S. store with the same backlight brightness and power keys.

Apple has not announced a new keyboard or updated the descriptions of any of its keyboards but it does appear likely that an updated keyboard is on the way.

I have Asus laptop N751 with power off button placed in stupid position just like This keyboard. Thankfully, Windows have option to disable it as it's easy to hit it while typing.

This position is nowhere near to where you normally type, plus, it will respond when you hold it down enough.

It's definetly near where you type if you use a keyboard a lot.

Is it the back light control keys or the keyboard actually has lighted keys?

Why else would it be different? The backlight is being built like the MacBook keys, and of course like the keyboard with butterfly mechanism.

I love wonder how, cause the backlight sucks the battery up on the MacBooks

The light is a tiny source of electricity. There's a reason they call MacBooks power efficient. Aside from that, I was wondering when this was going to come, the wireless backlit keyboard of course.

POI, a light is not a 'source' of electricity. It is a drain.
