Does the Magic Keyboard for iMac have backlighting? I just bought a brand new top of the line M4 iMac with Magic Keyboard. I can't find any backlit keyboard settings. Support said external keyboards do NOT light up. Is this an oversight by Apple or a bug? I find it hard to believe they don't have a backlit keyboard option. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
