This is hurting my productivity.

There are hundreds of us begging Logitech to fix this!!!
Either let us:
1: turn on/off the ambient sensor
2: schedule the ambient sensor's working hours.
3: ability to switch between: Always On/Ambient Sensor/Always OFF.
The backlight is one of the major attractions and features of why I have been a Logitech keyboard fan for a long time, but this new ambient sensor is awful.
I don't care (and the users are voicing the same) how much light is in my room or desk: I want the keyboard BACKLIT. PERIOD!!
Why hasn't this been a priority for logitech? The items they put on the Planned schedule are mostly inconsequential compared to this very much needed and critical feature and functionality.
This hardware is too expensive for us not being able to control its features, especially the critical ones like the keyboard backlight!!!

This is ridiculous! I'm in a dark room and I cannot see the keys. How do I know where to place my fingers to lighten up the keyboard? I have to actually wave my hand over the keyboard to get the backlight on! Really!!??

Please add this to this keyboard. I just bought this and I find the lack of customization really annoying. 6 seconds is too low. When I am typing my eyes change focus, especially when reading things. Really wish I had read the reviews on this. My old wired keyboard I could leave the lighting on all day. I am really quite ****** about this. Can you not add this to all versions of this keyboard??! I have the Logi+ software and I see no option. Wish I hadn't thrown the box out otherwise this would be getting returned.

Here is the other problem. You guys are making the assumption that we can install software. I am using this with my personal device and my corporate computer. I can't install software on that. What you really should have done is put some kind of physical dip switch on the board to set the timeout levels and/or disable it.

Basically I have to keep it plugged in. That's the only way this wireless keyboard allows me to keep the light on. So I replaced a wired keyboard with a wireless keyboard that I need to leave plugged in. Thanks a lot Logitech.

Here are the other stupid things about this keyboard:
1) When plugged in the backlight STILL times out and turns off after 5 minutes.
2) When plugged in touching the case doesn't turn the light back on.

Logitech, please!! Just add this feature to mx keys mini! Its not a big deal for you.

Please, allow user to set backlight timer to permanently on or off with the older version of MX keys. Why is this feature on the newer version only? For money? If yes, than it is so sad.

ALWAYS ON Feature should have always been an option from the get go. please make this possible.

Logitech guys : IS IMPOSSIBLE ADD A COMMAND TO KEEP LIGHT ON PLEASE???????

Other MX keyboards have the ability to extend the backlight timeout value. NEVER limit your customer's ability to customize the behavior of their devices by introducing hard-coded settings.
