    GX620 looks good but it's lacking a backlit keyboard which i've grown to love after having it on my Dells.

    I dont think there is, unless there is another seller that works with the same chasis, or a keyboard that fits exactly with backlighting.

    But i haven't seen any.

    Its not going to happen unless you custom make lighting for underneath the keyboard its self. Going to be very complicated.
