Q 2: How long will keyboard last between charges?

I use the keyboard several hours per day, still running fine two weeks following its initial charge.

I have gotten up to a month with occasional use and over a week with heavy use.

About 3 hours in moderate use. Signal weakens, and you will notice it becomes unresponsive.

I don't believe there is an indicator when the keyboard is about to need recharging. It just stops working! Thankfully it charges relatively quickly.

I have had my keyboard since the day it was released on amazon. So probably over a year and have yet to have any malfunctioning with it? Maybe shoot their customer service an email and see what they say.

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

It does die without being on. I've had other keyboards do the same thing. It's not the product that's defective it would help if it would stay charged!

I'm routinely using it for 3 to 4 hours and still has a charge. Guess I could probably go 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Definitely was a good purchase - at least for how I use my computer.

The tablet and keyboard have separate batteries, I can charge the tablet without the keyboard, but when they are connected this keyboard does not drain the tablet battery and both are charged by the same cord. I can get 5-6 hours of use and sometimes more.

I am assuming that you mean your keyboard, which runs from bluetooth off your ipad,but is charged back up from plugging it into a usb port on your computer. I used my keyboard for about 4 weeks everyday, before I had to recharge it.

It does work well with an external keyboard; however, I have had mine for approx two weeks and it will not charge to 100% I'm thinking....this one may be defective. O_0

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

When not used for 5 min, the key board gets disconnected from the tab. It gets activated in few seconds after tapping on any key. Not sure, if yhis can be really called sleep/wake. This anyway doesnt save the battery of the tab, as it continuously searches for bluetooth devices, till it goes to sleep. But, I did not charge my keyboard for more than 5 days of conyinuously "ON" position, with approximately 90 minutes of daily usage.

It last for awhile. My daughter hasn't really used the key board that much yet. But have to charge it for at least 4 hours before ya use it.

When plugged into the keyboard - I've been successful using it for 5-6 hours (coast to coast flight) using standard office aps. When using it to stream internet content or play movies, 4 hrs.

I have only charged my keyboard occasionally. After the initial charge, by connecting the cable to any USB port on your computer, it has a fairly long operating time. I hope this helps.

I have had good experience with the keyboard lasting all day. I've used it in meetings that are daylong, and lasting into the evening, and haven't had any problem with it working the entire time.

I use the keyboard for 3 to 4 days in a row without charging and it never has died on me.
