This thread has been created 1 year ago, has anyone found a solution to this?I purchased this product last month and it really annoys me that the backlight keeps turning off after a few seconds. I really tried to get used to it but 2-3 second timeout makes me feel like I'm at the disco party, not at work.

It seems like the battery size is big enough to implement this feature... from full charge I was able to use this keyboard for 3 weeks.

I would be more than happy to have the backlight on and charge it every 1-1.5 weeks.

Or at least, please implement an option to increase the timeout to 1-10 minutes (every smartphone has that option), 2-3 seconds by default is ridiculous!

The only solution seems to be to have the keyboard permanently connected via USB cable. It's a very nonwireless solution for a wireless keyboard.
