Default Changing Keyboard Backlight Settings

I've been trying to find the registry settings that control how fast the backlight comes on when I open my keyboard to no avail...all too often I find myself in the dark waiting a full second or two for the keyboard to come on and it annoys the daylights out of me. If anybody has some insight on a quick fix, I appreciate the info.

if you go to settings - buttons - backlight you can disable the autosensor for the keyboard light, not sure if it will make it come on any faster but it might (since rather than checking ambient light it will just turn the backllight on by default)

When you turn off keyboard auto-sensing the keyboard comes on as soon as you press a button on the keyboard. I have found that the sensor is too strict with using the backlight, there were plenty of times I could not see the keys but the light did not turn on. Too bad, wasted feature.

yeah i totally know what you're talking about...even with the light sensor option turned off, it still takes a couple seconds for the keyboard backlight to turn on. i've always found that a bit annoying. i'm guessing it's a hardware thing, i doubt there'd be a registry tweak to speed up the keyboard backlight. it'd be nice if there was though...
