Is there any reason why Apple does not release a fluorescent/glow-int-the-dark Smart Keyboard, it would not require power and for those that are watching a movie just place the Smart Keyboard into viewing mode.

Is a power backlit Smart Keyboard better than a flourescent version. It does not have to be complicated Apple. What are Smart Keyboard users thoughts on this concept?

I consider backlit keyboards more of a necessity on a laptop than the Apple Smart Keyboard but that’s just me ... The reason being on a laptop there are more function keys whereas the ASK is just a basic keyboard for typing. As a touch typist I really have no problem finding keys with my eyes closed on this keyboard so illumination of the keyboard is more of a nice to have than a need to have thing for me on the ipad.
