I just got this laptop and i really like it. Its fast and snappy but i would like for the keyboard light to always stay on. So far from searching online and looking in settings i haven't found a way to do it yet. Is there a way to do it or should i just get over it and ignore it?

    Currently there is no option  to keep the keyboard backlight always On. You can press FN+F9 to turn the keyboard backlight on and off. The default settings for keyboard backlight on battery power is set to OFF. The keyboard will always turn off 30 seconds after the last key stroke on battery power. The keyboard backlight settings will return to default after resuming from sleep or shutdown.
    The timer is fixed at 30 seconds to turn Off is to save power while on battery power.  It's a power saving feature, continuous use of Keyboard backlight will drain the battery and will reduce the usage time.

    Just hit the Space Bar, any one of the Arrow keys located on the lower right of the keyboard, etc., then you won't have to go back and delete a character after you have turned your light on.

    I am also slightly disappointed that there is still no option to keep the backlight always on. The power saving argument is only applicable when running on battery but I mostly am connected to AC power and still the keyboard backlight switches off after 30 seconds. Is a solution for this in the making?

    I don't believe they plan on changing that behavior.
