Preferences found in the new iMac released yesterday suggest Apple may be planning to release a new wireless keyboard with backlight, according to 9to5Mac.
Here's something interesting we've found in the new '11 iMacs: The Keyboard System Pref contains the same option to illuminate the keyboard that MacBook Pros have. Previous iMacs as well as all other Macs without lit keyboards don’t have this option.
A backlit keyboard is definitely something many would like to see both in Apple's wireless bluetooth keyboard and on the MacBook Air.

It's about time. Maybe they'll release a new mouse that doesn't suck as well

Lol, or maybe the new keyboard will have a trackpad on it to really piss me off

Perfect, this should only cost us an extra $20 a month in batteries

LEDs do not use much power, and with the right settings could be about an hour or 2 less, and buy some rechargeable btw, who buys regular batteries anymore?
