I have a backlit keyboard, but the light is always off. If you can't type by feel and you work on a computer then what the hell are you doing? I will never understand how people can't work on a light up screen in the dark.

Oh, that's easy:

They can barely type without looking at the keyboard.

They don't actually know how to type.

This is still shockingly common amongst Boomers and even Gen Xrs... they never actually learned how to properly type.

And now this is at least somewhat wrapping back around to Gen Z, who can type like a speed demon on a touchpad, but not on a keyboard.

I don't need a backlight for normal typing, but I switch between laptop / pc / keyboards with different layouts and it's nice to be able to see where the volume controls or the home / end buttons have run off to. Also I like the pretty colors.
