Remote with lighted controls

Does RoKu have a remote that light up allowing you to see the controls when watching TV in a dark room?

I'm disappointed in Roku that the company did not conceptionalize and implement this idea.

    Just adding my agreement it makes this very annoying.  How is it that I can get a third party backlit remote for $7 at the drugstore but Roku can't give me a remote that has backlit

      I agree completely.  I love the Roku remote, I don't want a 3rd party copy nor a compromise one just to get back lighting.  Roku.  Just make a backlit remote. You will sell 1000's

    I see a lot of people with Roku's are looking for a remote that lights up in the dark. We are new with ROKU and I WHOLE HEARTEDLY agree. I know there is an "always-on" audio option, but I have never met anyone that would trust that!! Press and hold for audio would be fine.

    In 15-20 yrs, my TV and Sound Systems had remotes that would illuminate at night when picked up.
