I want a black, backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for my Mac

I want a black, backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID for my Mac.

My favorite keyboard for use with my Mac is Apple’s US$149 Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. However, I want more for my money.

Why doesn’t a keyboard a this price not have backlighting? Or at least come in a backlit option? 

And, as trivia as it sounds, why can’t I order a black version of the keyboard? The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is only available in white. 

Yes, the bigger version with Numeric Keyboard can be purchased in black. However, it’s too big for me (I don’t need the numeric keyboard) — and it’s more expensive ($199)

I hope you’ll help support Apple World Today by becoming a patron. Patreon pricing ranges from $2 to $10 a month. Thanks in advance for your support.
