what kind of batteries does the keyboard and mouse use? and how long do they last?

The keyboard uses a single AA-Battery, while the mouse uses two AAA-batteries. So far, the mouse has lasted about two to three months (I did not turn off the mouse, I left it in stand-by, which is good). As for the keyboard, I recently had to replace the battery, but I believe it was more on the battery's side that the keyboard didn't last long. I recommend that you use Duracell or Energizer batteries for your keyboard and mouse to play on the safe side.Also, the customer support for VIOTEK is very good. My keyboard broke and they replaced it without me having to pay for a new one, so should a problem arise, they can replace it if you have the proper information.

It appears to be the same combo pack. If it is, we have been very pleased with the performance of both pieces. The Batteries in the mouse still have an excellent charge, and the keyboard maintains a full charge, even using mainly ambient lighting in the room.

AA's. My mouse is several months old, used daily, and the batteries have yet to need replacing. Battery life is simply not an issue!

Of course you could use a plug in keyboard and mouse, BUT they do not eat batteries. It's much "cleaner" with no wires.

It uses two triple-A batteries. Two batteries came packaged with my mouse that are still functional several months later.

The keyboard and mouse are not physically connected. Once the radio dongle is inserted in a USB slot they are simultaneously recognized. BTW, although I use the keyboard and mouse combination every day, I find the batteries tend not to need to be replaced more than once a month.

The battery lasted multiple times of me using this keyboard for several hours. You have to be careful to turn it off when it is done. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet, though, and I have used it maybe 5 times for 2-4 hours each.

I have had this keyboard and mouse only a few months. My experience with other Logitech products, including keyboards and mouses, is that they will last years if proper care is exercised.

It uses a "AA" battery, it is not included, it can be rechargeable but will not recharge in mouse as there is no constant electrical connection.Wife loves it btw........

I only have the keyboard and it does not have an on/off switch, but I got it On August 7th of 2013 and I am still using the same batteries.

2 AAA batteries. It also has an auto shutdown if it's not used for about 5 minutes, I think (I can't really recall). One click of the mouse activates it again. This really was damned good for the price, but don't drop it. I dropped the keyboard and had to take it apart to get it working again. It's made out of tickytacky but what do you expect for the price! It's still a reasonable deal.

Without the LEDs on the batteries included with the mouse lasted about 3 months. I rarely have the LEDs on when I play so I am unsure how much they affect the battery life

The keyboard takes 2 AAA batteries. I have used the keyboard for a few months and the batteries seem to still be going strong.

Both Mouse and keyboard get power from batteries. The USB dongle connects both keyboard and mouse to computer but does not provide power.

both the mouse and keyboard I received are wireless and work very well, despite being standard equipment. I like how the mouse actually has an on/off switch.

I use a logitech on a windows computer. It uses one battery and lasts forever. The bluetooth logitech uses two AA batteries and doesn't last too awfully long. It works so well with my android that I can't fault it. I never turn it off so the batteries would probably last twice as long if I did.

I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well. I have a wireless Logitech mouse, which I love by the way, that says it's battery life is up to 18 months and I'm lucky to get a month out of it. From reading the reviews, when in battery mode , the keys do not stay illuminated and you have to press something to light them up again. I love the fact you can have a choice of wired or not. The battery can also be replaced if need be according to the rep. I have a Logitech keyboard as well that I have had since Windows 95 and it works as well today as it did then. I do have a cover on it so that may be a big part of that reason. I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well.
