Leave power on? Can I just leave the USB power "charger" plugged in continuously?

Hi guys. I have the same question. I spoke to a rep at Logitech who advised against it. As she seemed kind of brain dead I didn't place much faith in her answer so I emailed them to see if I could get a more authoritative response. I'll let you all know when (and if) I hear back. Great keyboard though. [Edited 10-26-12] OK...so here is the response I got from Logitech: "..., from your e-mail, I understand that you are having some query with your Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 charging activity. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I will certainly do my best to resolve your concern. ----, regarding your query, the reason would be simple. The battery might burn out or over heat even if you use the USB charging cord. Thank you." So I guess the bottom line is that we better not leave it plugged in.

No, power goes into the unit, not out of it. The "USB input" on this device is for power only, it is "micro-usb."

Hi, I unplugged it. I do not think is good idea to keep it in the socket once is fully charged.

I just leave the pad plugged in all the time. I don't think it consumes much power.

Important note: Instructions state to never remove device from dock while power is on. Could damage device.

There is an on/off power switch but you can easily leave the switch to 'on' and utilize the USB cord as a power cord, so that when you plug it into your computer it will automatically kick on.

Not really it's going to be a waste of energy . I plugged it 2 hours before using it.

The Nyko charge base has an auto shut off feature. So you should be good with leaving your items charging.

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.

I leave mine connected to my laptop most of the time. and when I disconnect it, my laptop is always charged. just because your green light is on on your laptop does not mean you have to disconnect from the charger. its just showing that you can use it w/out the power connected

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

Power down your pc completely . Leave it connected to a wall power source overnight. Should be good to go.

There is a button on the bottom of the charger for power. Once you take your device off charge it will shut down automatically after a minute or so.

Leaving the charger plugged into the wall is fine so long as the connector end is kept safe from water, pinching etc. You should not leave the device plugged in all the time as this is not so good for the battery. If you never plan to run the device on the battery, you are probably safe leaving it charge all the time.

The device will go into sleep mode but I am not sure if it is a good idea to leave it charging.

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.
