The only thing holding me back is that it uses AA batteries instead of having a built in lithium. How is the battery life on this keyboard?

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

It takes two AA batteries. My first pair was installed on 2/4/14 and then replaced them on 5/10/14. Haven't replaced the 5/10/14 replacement yet. Don't know why the first pair only lasted 3 months - could have been bad batteries. 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.

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.

I have used this keyboard for about 4 years and love it. As with most keyboards, the wearing away of the coating on the keys for the most used keys is a pain. As long as you are a "typist" and not a two-finger-hunt-&-peck typist, you will be fine. The soft blue back-lighting makes it nice for use in low-light. It's a large/long keyboard, so I dispensed with the wrist rest thing. Overall, I am happy with mine.

You won't have problems with this Logitech 750 Keyboard until about 2 1/2 years is when the battery goes dead. I replaced my battery from Amazon...Maxell ML2032 Rechargeable 3V coin cell lithium battery. When you remove the battery it will have a sticker that says " Do not replace battery" Why? When you can purchased the same battery here on Amazon! Remove the sticker and you have your Maxell ML2032 Rechargeable 3V coin cell lithium .

I can confirm that rechargeable AA batteries do work. I have some AmazonBasics ones that I've been using, and I haven't had to recharge the ones in the keyboard in what feels like years.

I have been using the same batteries for nearly 4 months! This device is very good on batteries! I love my iKross Keyboard! Cecelia

You can use any AA batteries in the keyboard, rechargeables or otherwise. Just don't plug in the charging cable if you are using non-rechargeable batteries. You might have an explosion. Just unscrew the screw from the battery compartment cover on the back to remove batteries. One battery has a sticky plastic strip partially holding it down. I cut it off with scissors and refined it with a utility knife. Now I can remove and replace my batteries with ease. Battery compartment cover is flimsy and a bit of a challenge to put back on, but nothing major.

No. The keyboard does not have a battery. It uses the power from the tablet. You can plug a charger into it so the tablet charges.

Not at all, in my opinion. I've had it for about two years and it still works like it did the first day. Personally, I don't think it's worth buying an incredibly similar but expensive keyboard just because it's newer.

The keyboard works really well. I also have one for my Ipad air and it works great also. I have had no troubble with either of them. Happy Holidays!!

i wouldn't waste my time with a power cord. it uses six? maybe eight? AA batteries that last forever. seriously, like months. we've had our keyboard a year and four months, and i've replaced the batteries once.

I have not used the keyboard continually since receiving it. I use is everyday for about 15 to 30 minutes. I have not needed to charge it for about 2 weeks. I accidentally left it on all night and a couple days ago and it still hasn't died. As a result, I would guess that it will work all day without a problem. I hope that answers your question.

I have had mine for a half-a-year now and I can say I've only replaced the battery once and right now it's reporting a 60% charge. I use the keyboard for hours-on-end daily. Highly recommended wireless keyboard if you're looking for long-lasting battery life. I also highly recommend the Logitech v470 mouse paired with this keyboard for its equally long-lasting battery life.

The battery lasts a very long time. I have not had a reason to tether it with a wire. I can say it is the best keyboard on the market and well worth the price.

USB keyboards supply their own power, so there is no need for batteries for them at all. The review that mentioned it also mentioned it needed a PS/2 connection, it does not (no modern keyboard does).

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.
