This has been an issue for a long time now and Acer still hasn't offered an explanation that makes sense. Regardless if the laptop is plugged in or not, the keyboard backlight goes off after 30 seconds. That is a ridiculous design flaw. Does Acer understand why a keyboard would be backlit in the first place? Since they insist this is a "feature", I'd say they don't understand.

Six months ago an Acer Crew addressed the issue with this response:
"... I want to clarify that the intended behavior of the backlight on all Nitro's 5 and Acer models is to always turn off 30 seconds after the last key stroke, this is not a bug but a feature (is not new), and it is a power saver (it does save on battery life)."

That just makes no sense at all. I don't need my battery saved when I'm plugged in! I need to be able to see my freaking keys! Give ME the choice whether or not to leave the backlight on.

Please admit you made a design error and just fix it already!
