Can the timeout of my backlit keyboard be changed? It turns off as quickly as 30 seconds, I'd like to keep it on all the time, or at least longer than 30 seconds.

Some HP laptops include built-in options in the HP Quick Launch Buttons or HP System Event Utility software to control keyboard backlight timeout.

I would like to keep the backlight on all the time.  I work in a very dark environment and have difficulty seeing the keys when the backlight turns off so quickly.  On mine, it is under 15 seconds.  My machine is "HP ZBook Fury G1i 18-inch Mobile Workstation"
