Do you have to remove the keyboard and trackpad from the Bluefin in order to change out the batteries? Is that a hassle or fairly easy?

You'll have to remove whichever one is on the right-hand side. The left-hand battery compartment is accessible with both devices installed.

Be careful! I shattered my Magic Trackpad this morning when I carelessly removed it from the Bluefin :( Make sure to only grip the battery compartment.

Yes, you'll need to remove one of the devices to replace the batteries on the right-most device.It is not at all difficult.

For the keyboard, is not necessary to remove it, but it is for the magic trackpad, is very easy though.

Yes you have to remove them to change the batteries but it is really easy. It's durable and I've enjoyed it. Changed mouse batteries just recently. Everything snaps right back in.

Yes, the battery screws into the end where your battery usually goes, you take the battery cap off and need to store it somewhere so you dont lose it because this replaces that portion of the keyboard.

Very easy to remove the batteries. Just open the cover and remove the battery.

There is a ribbon with a connector on it coming from the trackpad area. I unplugged the old keyboard and plugged the new one in. No extra ribbons were required.

You replaced the batteries in the keyboard too?? I know, stupid question... lol. I know I sometimes have to blow into the bottom hole of the mouse, but the rest of they keyboard always worked...

There's no simple way to replace the battery. I see some screws that might be opened, but no idea what might be inside. For the price though... a typical lithium battery for a phone would cost you half what the whole keyboard does.

Yes, in case you forget the compo or the keypad fails. You remove the keypad as you do to replace the battery. There is a hole there and the give you a very long key to access the safe.

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, but it has never been a problem. The keyboard is lightweight. It takes just two AAA batteries, which have not needed to be replaced yet.

the keyboard is separated and you can take it with you or you can put it in the pad. It is easily to be removed. It does not have a velco but has the keyboard is stick easily with the case. Make sure to have the charge to charge the bluetooth thru the outlet. I did not receive the charge but only the cord to charge through the computer which is not convenient. Otherwise, it is very good product wireless keyboard.

The answer below that says you can change the batteries is incorrect as it will void your warranty. I changed mine and they didn't work and Logitech would not send me a new one since I opened the keyboard to replace the batteries.

Yes. Before you replace this unit, make sure that your problems are not being caused by a swelling battery which interferes with the action of the trackpad. I was having problems and replaced the keyboard top case but still had the problem. After replacing the battery, the problem was solved.

There is a key that comes with the wand that fits into the bottom of the wand. Just unscrew the bottom and the batteries are right in there. I personally leave it unscrewed a little when I'm not using it so the batteries don't wear out.

Yes, and it is NOT worth it. There are other better methods to do the same thing, just search around on google. This is a pain. The little piece that goes between the sides of the keyboard and magic trackpad is always slipping out. It doesn't resolve the problem of clicking the trackpad on a soft surface. Definitely keep looking. There are at least 2 alternatives both of which are better and a more reasonable price.

I agree with the answer about the blue button (next to the delete key). When "battery up" is on, it shuts everything on the base off except for the keyboard. This is a guess but a good place to start trouble shooting.

You don't need to replace the case. Just the keyboard. Make sure you release the KB ribbon cable latch. Otherwise you will likely break it.

I am not sure, I was able to access my macbook trackpad using this toolkit when I was replacing the battery. According to the ifixit you need Phillips #00 Screwdriver, Spudger, Tri-wing Y1 Screwdriver to replace the trackpad. The 00 and Y1 bits are included in this kit. The Spudger is not, so you would have to look at the tutorial and see what that is used for and if you can get around it. I have found in my experience that you can get around using most of the extra tools that they suggest and they only necessary tools are the bits, which this kit has.
