    Is there anyway for the lights to go off automaticlly and when you touch the keyboard they come back on?

    Guess it should be possible, you can use FN + Alien FX as you surely know. However there is quite a delay when using that, not sure how it would work if someone made a program like that..

    Just set them to "dim on battery mode" and then hit the FN+Alien FX (Pause) key to shut them off when you want it off for a while.

    The only problem with the lights turning off after a period of time and turning back on when you touch it is that you might hit the wrong button on that first keystroke if you need to look @ the keyboard to type. :)
