Is the keyboard rechargeable while in the case? Any specs on the keyboard--number of hours it will hold a charge/usable time between charges?

yes it can be charged but you need a saprate charger. I will say spend some more and buy kingston. or if you want something like this there are a lot available on amazon for cheep. This is not real leather anyway.

The keyboard is only loosely held in by velcro; recharging in or out of the case is no issue.It has a separate on/off switch; a charge lasts for days if kept off when not typing.

yes it can be charged in the case. i have never attempted to run it out of a charge, but with casual use it will go several days before needing a charge. it has an auto off feature that saves the battery (i.e. the key board disconnects itself from the ipad and turns itself off even though the 'on/off' switch is still in the 'on' position).

yes it can be recharged while in the case. the charge lasts a very long time, i just rexchared it for the first time just the other day. keyboard is small for me, i am unable to use it like a normal keyboard. it also does not come with a cord to recharge it. i just used one i had laying around.

I have no idea!!! I keep pulling it out, turning it on, using it at meetings for anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours, turning it off, then doing it again. I also use it for emails in the morning. Hadn't thought about where the power comes from... Now I'm worrying. �

I think you must have an issue with your keyboard. I've had mine for a few weeks now and I use the keyboard all the time, have even left it on overnight and I've not charged it since the initial charge.

Yes, the keyboard needs to be charged. However, it seems to have a good sleep mode, so I haven't had to recharge it often, even when I accidentally left it on.

Would love keyboards of this caliber to start having being wired/wireless (Just a built in battery). That way, even though the battery might not be able to sustain it for more than 5 - 6 hours, you can just go right back to the desktop, plug it in, and continue to use it.

I had mine for about 3 months & only had to charge it once. The sleep mode, if stop using it, I believe it's like 60 seconds & it goes into sleep mode. You may have to hit a key twice to awaken the keyboard back up again.I loved it, however, the left side of my keyboard died & I never heard back from the manufacturer about receiving a new one.

I have not had a problem with mine not keeping a charge, but I did notice when I first charged it that you need to make sure that the cable is going through the provided hole properly so that it stays connected. I didn't have mine in all the way and didn't notice it and it didn't hold the charge long that time. After I paid better attention to connecting the cable it has been fine ever since. Don't forget that the keyboard has a separate usb charger on the right hand side of the keyboard that also needs to be charged. I know this isn't much but I hope it helps. Lora C

I have not run the battery down before recharging. I will plug it in about every 2 weeks just to keep it charged and I use the keyboard often. I have been impressed with how long the battery does last and have never had a problem with this device.

Once charged, I used the key board about 3-4 hours daily for one and a half week, and still with battery!!! But this depends on the use!!

Hello, it will take 2-3 hours to fully charge the battery for the keyboard, and about 36 hours continual working time after full charge.

The keyboard stays on as long as the switch is on. Shutting it off will preserve the battery life. It holds a really good charge though and I only charge it once a week or once every two weeks. I only turn it off when it's charging. I hope this was helpful.

Hi Nam, Sorry for the delay in answer you. It has two CR2025 3V batteries that are rechargeable. There is a small drawer in the keyboard where you can open it and change the batteries yourself. You can find the battery at the Amazon for less than $ 2.00. I do not know how long they will last. For a heavy use I think it will last one year, but for a light use can surpass two years, based on other devices. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Ricardo Segawa

When I was looking for a wireless keyboard I was looking at the battery, specifically a rechargable battery. I did not want to constantly by a new pair of batteries to keep it alive. The EZOWare has a rechargeable battery and it lasts for many hours before it dies! (so far 20+ hours, RECHARGEABLE!) The only thing I did have to get used to is the size of the keyboard and how close the keys are to each other, and it will take some time to get used to it. It's a great keyboard for the price and I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Regina, that's a good question. The info sheet that came with the device claimed I think 150 hrs. of continuous use, which seemed like a misprint to me. When I plug the charger in the blue light comes on but goes out within about 5 minutes, which may mean it's charged. I think I'll wait until it runs out to learn the answer as I can always go back to the onscreen keyboard while it charges. You might ask someone who's owned it longer.Charles

Yes keyboard needs to be charged. To fully charge it takes 1 hour. Charging cable is supplied when you bought the leyboard

I use the keyboard all the time. I charged it before use, the charged lasted literally for weeks. Wobbly connection sounds like a defective port (microusb). My connection was bluetooth.

The keyboard is bluetooth and the battery last over a month before recharging. Physically it has a magnetic base which keeps it in the case, but you can just lift it off and use it on your lap say like if you want to want to place the screen on an end table.

You might try some electronics equipment section in a store like Best Buy. I believe the one I bought to keep in my overnight bag is longer by maybe a foot than the one that came with the keyboard. Don't expect to find one much longer; the idea of charging the keyboard is to do it some surface like a counter top.
