Good for wireless mouse/keyboard? Am using 2 AA and AAA bats at a time - they burn through quick,looking for a rechargable alternative Y or N on this?

Linsey- this is the best battery Charger for the money - this charger used with 2800 mAh NIMH batteries should give you lots of service and save you a lot of money!Yes - you can charge AA and AAA together so buy both sizes and recharge after every use, this way you can have fresh fully charged batteries every time.

Absolutely. After initially buying this for my sons toy trains I quickly figured out my wireless keyboard and mouse as well as TV remotes would benefit greatly from it. I can use my wireless attachments for my desk top computer now without costing a fortune in batteries.

The key is to get the highest rated rechargeable, then the savings are in the recycling. I did some reading up on brands offered on amazon and liked what I found about the EBLs. So far, so good.

rechargeable batteries are expensive. However, my charger does work for the rechargeable batteries. But I have noticed that they don't last near as long as regular batteries and I'm constantly having to recharge them. If you don't mind that, it beats buying batteries all the time and throwing them out when they're finished.

I would say yes. This charger allows you to leave the batteries on the charger so they have a full charge when you put them in.

The charger is designed to charge both aa and aaa batteries, in multiples of two. I don't know for sure if you can comingle aa and aaa batteries for charging at the same time.

I use them in my wireless controllers for my Xbox they work get and last long

You can use the same cable for the mouse. I have an extra cable plugged into my computer just in case I need to recharge both the mouse and keyboard at the same time. For as inexpensive as they are, it is worth buying an extra cable.

The USB connector works for both the mouse and the keyboard. Also get ready to change batteries on the mouse a LOT...the keyboard hasn't needed much battery change but the mouse stays on all the time.. it sleeps sometimes but not enough to save the battery. I would probably get a set with an on and off switch but this set does the job for little money.

With moderate to heavy use, I get at least 5 or 6 days out of the mouse before I recharge it. The keyboard will go two weeks or more. Both would surely last much longer if I turned them off when I'm not using them; but I don't. Recharging takes about 20 minutes using the supplied usb cable.

Recharging is not an option that Ive found or needed. Ive had my mouse for months and am a heavy computer user. Ive not had any need to replace the batteries.

I grabbed an old mouse, cut the cable, and then stripped the red (+5v) and black (gnd/-) and soldered those into the power vias on the board (the holes on the circuit board).This chip is rated for a MAX of 5.5 volts, so DON'T try to run it from four AA or AAA batteries, you will fry it. However, the USB 5volts works just fine. Mine has been running for what, about a month now, and going strong.

Micheal is spot on - wired one is probably 1/2 to 2/3 lighter than the wireless - I would say compared to any other mouse with a battery in it - it would be relatively equal.

No, it is wireless only so it will always be running on a single AA battery.So if you are not going to be at a mobile workstation, it's better to use a regular wired mouse to save money on batteries.

The Perixx Periboard 710Plus uses (2)AAA batteries and has no charging options. I don't use this keyboard anymore because there are several problems with it. One is that the battery cover kept falling off, and was almost lost a couple of times- this is a design problem. The second problem is the touch-pad is much too sensitive and was constantly causing unwanted actions. The third problem is that the keys are too small to do and serious typing on. The fourth problem is that the range very limited- I was having problems using it when sitting 10 feet away and had line-of-sight to it's receiver. The seller said it must be due to interference from other devices using radio frequencies for operation like cordless phones or Wi-Fi, but this was not the case. It sits on a shelf now, unused. I replaced it with a Logitech KR400R keyboard which although larger, it's much easier to type on and the touch-pad mouse works perfectly and has the right amount of sensitivity. It uses 2 AA batteries and goes into low power mode when it is idle so battery live is very very good. I liked it so much I bought 4 more- I highly recommend you consider it and avoid the frustration of buying the Perixx keyboard. Good luck.

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.

Bluetooth will consume more battery than other wireless protocol. But mouse will enter a low power mode. My batteries, lithium energizer, last three months of daily, nearly constant use.

Hi W.J. Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot. The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on. Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better.

Yes, I'll would be lucky if my Innotab lasts 3 hours - maybe more if I don't have to reboot the device. Considering that an external 9V adapter is required and yet the device only takes 4 batteries (for a total of 6V) I wonder if this unit is really underpowered with the batteries alone.

Mike the X32 uses two AAA batteries. Not sure how long it lasts, but I'd get some rechargeable ones and just swap them out.

Yes you sure can however be advised that I think you should use a powered USB hub... I have a wireless mouse and keyboard, a gigabit wired network adapter, and I have hooked up external drives to it... No issues... However one issue I have noticed: if you leave this thing unplugged for too long it forgets itself and you have to perform a reset up of all your stuff.. On the flip side if you leave it plugged in all the time it is frozen and you have to reset it.. I'm thinking about putting a timed outlet controller on it so it resets daily to prevent that..

If your question is about whether you will have wireless interference between the 2, then no it will work fine with the keyboard. The mouse is seperated from the keyboard and both will use their own usb slot with the usb dongles provided. I use this mouse with my contracting and have had many customers with wireless keyboards, headphones and other peripherals without any problems. Personally I have not noticed a single issue with this mouse and would highly suggest picking it up as it is one of the best wireless mice I have used. The batteries (that came with the mouse) lasted over a year of almost daily use, again with no issues.

It comes with a tiny USB plugin. You plug it into you USB port and Windows does the rest. I use mine when I'm streaming Netflix to my tv. I will be sitting ten feet away from my laptop and the mouse works perfectly. I highly recommend this device. One other thing, it has an automatic shut off so you don't have to worry about changing batteries all the time.
