Drat. I found three backlit keyboards (all PC, unfortunately. Check with the maker for compatibility), but overlooked the power button requirement. I'm afraid I can't "do mail" and browse at the same time right now, (don't ask...) so I can't go back and check these suggestions due to time constraints. Sorry about that. [wrings hands] Anyway: http://www.fragtopia.com/reviews/saitekkeyboard/saitek-keyboard.shtml (not a *true* backlit keyboard, but the cheapest and most common of the lot. It *might* do what you need it to.) http://www.moditory.com/content/view/68/34/ (This is a true back-lit keuboard, with an LED for each key. Check out the backplate on it, too...solid! Oh, and: >A rugged, splash-proof, version of the board is the standard in squad cars, >fire trucks and rescue vehicles throughout the world. ...making this one my personal fave. The layout may take a bit of getting used to, though.) Finally, this one is the most Mac-like in layout: http://gear.ign.com/articles/425/425192p1.html As I said, these are all PC 'boards. I'm not aware of any Mac equivalents, but maybe someone else is. For a cheap-n-cheezy hack: have you looked around at small, clip-on reading lights? It wouldn't be an ideal fix, but at least you could use your existing hardware. Are you in tech support? I'm intrigued about the low-light conditions.
