Images of Apple Wireless Keyboard With Backlight Keys and Power Button Appear in Online Store

A new Apple wireless keyboard featuring backlight keys and a power button has been spotted (http://www.letemsvetemapplem.eu/2015/03/23/apple-wireless-keyboard/) on the Apple Online Store in Czech Republic (http://store.apple.com/cz/product/MC184CZ/B/apple-wireless-keyboard-%C4%8Desk%C3%A1) and Hungary (http://store.apple.com/hu/product/MC184MG/B/apple-wireless-keyboard-magyar), with an identical Arabic version (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184AB/C/apple-wireless-keyboard) appearing on the U.S. storefront. The graphic render shows controls for adjusting the brightness of the backlight added to the F5 and F6 keys, as found on current MacBook models, while the eject key for CDs has been replaced with a power button.

 Apple has not updated the product description for its wireless keyboard to match the new visualization, so it remains to be seen if this was simply a mistake or if the company will quietly refresh the keyboard in the near future. The old Apple Wireless Keyboard with no backlight keys and an eject key is still shown on the Apple Online Store in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries.
 
 The addition of a power button on the keyboard is interesting, given that Macs currently do not detect wireless keyboards until after booting. It could be speculated that the power button is for turning on or off the wireless keyboard itself, but additional photos reveal that the keyboard still has a power button on the side in its traditional spot. As such, the exact functionality of the key remains unknown.
