1)About the lights I will try it.
2)However, I think having a manual is a good idea. Imagine an API for programming without documentation you are supposed to work with it. It is not your responsibility to figure out how it works. It is an expensive product I would expect they are going to put some indications with the product. The 'go figure out' approach is not what I look when I pay for an expensive article.
3) About the usb cable again. Who ever designed that port failed. I would expected something better from a product this expensive. That port reminds me of cheap low quality devices. Even worse they are using mini usb the last time I got a device using mini usb was like 4 years ago with an old android phone.
The mini versions of the plugs have not been used in products recently and are being phased out of devices. disadvatanges of micro usb
You are saying it is a wireless keyboard but at the end of the day you need to charge it using that same cable over and over again there is no alternative.

When you use an API for programming they doesn't send you a physic manual, you go to the doc and search for it. Same here.
By the way I'm at home now and I just confirmed there's a quick guide on it which is more than needed for setting it up and search for the full doc on the official webpage.
On the micro USB thing I'll be more pleased if they came with USB-C too, because I like the shape and feel, but from the electronic engineering there's no point for that. If you connect a USB to your computer it will not be charged faster using one or another, so if you will not be able to use fast charge why to set USB-C?
I asked the same once to a friend of mine who is an electronic engineer why he was using USB 2.0 connectors for some devices he was working on an I+D project, he told me I need a bus of nMB/s using less than 0.5A so using USB-C would be overkill and totally out of place, apart from that I'll need to handle. Whereas USB Type A and Type B connectors each specify four or five conductors, USB Type C connectors employ 24 contacts.
So there's no need or a real reason for USB C, they'll need to add a charger along with the keyboard if USB C + Quick Charge which would be a bit weird, don't you think?
Extra info:
Manual config is a great idea, but you need to set it up from GHub first, if not, they will come back to default after rebooting.
Hope it helps
