Has anyone else had trouble with battery life on this keyboard? I only got mine three months ago and already had to replace the two AA batteries.

I generally have to change mine every three to six months, but I use this keyboard everyday for a solid 4-8 hours of typing. I wore the letters off the keys before I had to change the batteries for the first time. Hope that helps! I LOVE this keyboard!

The. Warranty was only good for 30 days. I bought the keyboard for Christmas as a gift for my granddaughter. In November. Now I'm stuck with the keyboard that doesn't work and I had to go buy another at walmart. Best bet is to buy local so you can try it out first.

The keyboard has it's own battery so It doesn't draw from the connected devices battery. Personally I see no difference in battery life when I have the keyboard connected and when I don't. If there is any difference its negligible

Mine is still working. Every once in a while it takes off on it's own. The only reason I am still using it is the keyboard is eazy to see. It still works fair. It was worth what I paid for it.

I don't know that I saw a warranty. I can tell you that, after I followed the instructions to pair the keyboard with my tablet, I had trouble pairing it. I, finally, took both, the keyboard and tablet to the store where I bought the tablet, to see if they could help. They tried with no luck, and they suggested replacing the 2 batteries that came, already, installed in the keyboard. It worked! I thought it was strange that the batteries would need replacing since, I ordered it 'New'. Even the batterytab was in place, but maybe it was actually 'used' before I bought it or ??? The box it came in was bent/damaged a little, which was strange also, because it came in a bigger box that was not damaged. Sorry, I couldn't answer your question.

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

Bluetooth keyboard uses 2 AAA batteries. They have lasted appx. 30+ hours using quality batteries. I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.

I've had mine for just a month, and the red charging light turns off after about 2 minutes. But that doesn't seem to matter much because the keyboard has never stopped working. So maybe the red light isn't supposed to stay all the time while it's charging???

Hey,I've been using mine for a couple of months now, and I haven't experienced the issues you're describing...I'd suggest you try using it with a different PC, and if it still misbehaves, contact Microsoft customer support - the keyboard is probably defective.

I love mine. I haven't taken it off since I got it. I use the keyboard all the time.

The battery life is pretty awful. Don't lose your keys. I did, and you have to send in a notarized form with 15 bucks to get new keys. The batteries on mine lasted less than 5 months. New, name brand batteries, and I opened it a grand total of about 5 times. I hadn't tried in about a month, and there was no juice left. I'll try a different name brand to see if it matters.

I have not had any issues with this keyboard and I've had it for about 6 months. My computer usually stays off until I use it, though.

I use this keyboard for several hours everyday, and though I haven't tracked exact battery usage, it's never been an issue.

I've been using mines for a week now and I had the same problem when I turned mines on. I was under the impression that the blue battery light meant that it was dying too. I think that just means that the keyboard is on when it flashes on. I turned it on and off until my iPad found it. There may be more clear instructions in the owners manual though. Goodluck!
