Uneven keyboard backlight?

[Matrix]

Hello-

I just got a Touch Pro, but I'm disappointed to see the keyboard backlight is very uneven...the number keys are bright, the rest are very dim.

Is this defective? Or are all of yours like that?

Thanks.

I demand a picture of this! What is your build date? How good are your eyes? No one has reported an evenly lit keyboard!

And to the OP, it seems almost EVERYONE's Touch Pro is like this. A bit disappointing

I would like a puic proof of a even backlit Pro keyboard. I thought those did not exist.

Left: Mogul - Notice how all the keys are virtually the same brightness.
Right: Touch Pro - Notice how 2, 3, -, = and backspace are very bright, the number row bright, and the rest dim, with Shift, Z, X and A almost unlit.

I purposely left it underexposed to better show the evenness of the keyboards in real life.

Blah!

Now I've gotta return it. I knew it was "wrong", but I just wanted to ask here first. I have such bad luck with keyboards. Had the same problem on my 6700, and same problem on my MBP.

Thanks for your reply!

my tp i got replaced last night for other problems had a perfectly lit keyboard; however, this new one is uneven and sux

To top things off, my data won't work on the new one...sigh...

My number keys are noticably brighter than the rest, but it doesn't fade off to the point where the lower keys aren't lit. In the dark, the number keys look brighter but everything else is even. Same issue?

Mine is exactly like this as well, build date 10/21/08. I took a picture:



Mine doesn't seem so bad compared to the picture Matrix posted.

Mine is lit as well as my Mogul. My friend's Touch PRO, however, has very bright 3 and 8 keys.
