Solid keyboard, though aggressive power saving

I bought this to replace a wired keyboard with an identical key layout; it is easily my favourite layout, though if using custom keycaps the right shift is a nonstandard width and hard to find caps for. Mavarice's translation of the connection instructions helped enormously. In using the keyboard there isn't any noticeable input delay for gaming or typing. However, when connected via Bluetooth it turns off every 10 minutes - even if being powered externally. There is a substantial wakeup and reconnection wait, meaning that I often have to wait a few seconds when returning to typing after logging out, watching a YouTube video, etc. Multiple times I have started typing a sentence and hit enter only to find the first few words didn't make it to the computer. Doesn't appear to be something you can change manually, though it can always be used in wired mode. Also had to partially disassemble and reseat the power switch, which wasn't able to turn on when it arrived, but this is probably a complaint specific to my board. Overall a decent keyboard, but would prefer to be able to flash a new firmware or something to tweak the power save timer, or maybe cache and send the keypresses after it finishes connecting.

RandominiIt would seem the power switch on mine is also not working. Received it 3 days ago and it drops bt connection once I remove the cable. Would you kindly detail how you did this and how easy it is? I want to open mine and see if I can fix it, instead of sending it to them - or if you know of any manuals or sources on how to open this thing? Thank you!

EmegozeYou'll need to take off the keycaps and unscrew some screws (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD5F-VEqLp8&feature=youtu.be&t=448) and possibly pry it open a little (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v437MTktIpg). For mine, the actual repair was absurdly simple - there's a standard hardware switch underneath, with a plastic cover in front. The plastic cover is supposed to sit on top of the switch but was misaligned, so for me it was just disassemble, fix that seating, put back together. It's still an okay keyboard tbh, though I've since switched to a Keychron K6 (no function keys, hot-swappable switches). As a suggestion if the aggressive power saving turns you off, the Keychron K2 has almost the same layout but allows disabling of power saving (though I don't own one).
