Logitech K800 backlight always on

Evening/Morning.

I just picked up a Logitech K800 & MX Master bundle on Amazon for like £100 total which isnt bad. After getting the keyboard setup it has this really annoying, not always on but on when you need it backlight system where if you're not using the keyboard, the backlight goes off. But however when you rest your wrists or put pressure on a key, it lights back up. I really hate this feature, and that it uses different software to the MX Master, but does anybody know of a fix or a mod I can do to the keyboard? I dont have a warranty as this was a warehouse deal and doesnt come with any. I have read a few posts on the Logitech forums and people claiming that they can do it, but the posts were made around a year a go and dont show any answer whatsoever. So please, does anybody know of some sort of patch or mod I can do to the keyboard to make it light up at all times instead of when it thinks I need it. 

My Build: G3258 OC@4.4GHz - Raijintek Aidos - 8GB Ballistix Sport - H81M-S2H - ASUS R7 250 1GB OC - Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 - EVGA 500+ BRONZE - Windows 10 Pro - Logitech MX Master & K800 Keyboard

My Laptop: Macbook Pro (mid 2010) - C2D @ 2.6GHz - 8GB Apple Ram - Nvidia Geforce 320m 512mb - 850 Evo 120GB + 500GB WD Blue - OS X Sierra

I'd wager it's a battery saving measure, which pretty much always means you can't change it.
