So cool, but falling asleep kills

So I bought this to make setting up tools in Lightroom easier and controlling the volume since my new keyboard this doesn't have any volume control. It worked well for both options, the feel is amazing, the clicks just keep it going all day. However, the fatal flaw is that on my computer at least, if you leave it alone for about 30-1 minutes, it goes to sleep and wakes up after about 5-10 seconds. This means that every time you want to adjust the volume or tune an instrument, you have to wait for it. I don't understand why that is, especially since it's so easy to change the batteries. I'd rather charge a few batteries a month than sleep that much.

Pros
  • Intuitive design that only requires three gestures: press and hold, click and rotate
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
