I have a Dell E6500 and I have installed the "Feature Enhancement Pack (FEP)" so I can control keyboard backlighting. I want my keyboard backlight to "Never" go off, I want my lights permanently on.
However, when I bring up the Keyboard Properties (v2.2.1) I do not have a "Never" option as you have in your screenshot above. I only have 5 secs thru 5 mins available.
How do I make my keyboard backlight to always be "on"? Why is the option to "Never" turn off my backlight not present for me?
The "Never Off" option doesn't work. I can see it on my Latitude E5540 but when I click on it, the backlight is disabled. I can only set up to 5 minutes. Maybe this is why it doesn't show on your E6500. There are a lot of comments about the FEP pack not working correctly in this forum. Shame on Dell for not sorting this problem!

Funny, but I just set my keyboard's backlit option to "5 minutes", and it just stays on!
