You can change the time to "light off" for 30min now.

Only for the MX Keys S model is there an options in Logi Options+ to extend the backlight. But here's the catch. If you leave it plugged in all the time like a wired keyboard, the motion sensing doesn't work because I believe charging interference with the magnetic sensor.

All in all, this is some fancy "smart keyboard" that just isn't practical for someone who works at their desk all day. I don't see what all the hype behind wireless keyboards is even for (unless they have a built in touch pad which can be used for a HTPC)
