Hi Hector G, this Sony wireless keyboard uses two LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries. -Ely

This is a desktop computer, it has to be plugged in an electrical outlet. The keyboard and the mouse have battery, that could last months.

The keyboard is already heavy enough without build-in battery, and it require 2 usb ports, so I don't think wireless will be able to handle 5-6 hours. Also if they have to put a battery with enough capacity to power it for few hours in it, the size and weight will increase a lot... Currently 2.2kg

There is a mini usb port on the keyboard, but it is only used for charging the battery of the bluetooth keyboard.You can't, for example, plug a USB mouse into the keyboard and have it function.

My keyboard works just fine without being plugged into USB. There is an ON/OFF switch that has to be turned to the ON position, but that's all.

The keyboard comes with a small USB receiver. You do not need to purchase one separately.

Hey Nick,It only comes with a USB cable to plug into your computer. That's all the power it needs, since it's only a midi controller, not your usual keyboard. Hope this helps!Steve.

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.

Your keyboard should have shipped with a USB receiver that looks like a small thumb drive. Plug that into one of the computer's USB ports.If your keyboard is charged/has battery life, your keyboard should communicate with the USB receiver without the need for you to install drivers.If you can't find the USB receiver, check the package contents that you threw out, it could be there.

There are no batteries. It's USB powered. Contact Logitech support. They don't make them anymore.

This is a wireless keyboard: the cable is for charging the battery and can be left attached, as I do mine absent a reason otherwise. Be sure to note the USB unifying extender cable provided, which I have found useful due to some loss of connection problems with my wireless mouse (purchased separately) when the sender is used on a USB port in the computer or dock, even at not too large a distance. However, I haven't noticed loss of keyboard connection when not using the extender, but this may have or have not also coincided with mouse connection problem.

It should come with a cable, yes. Any micro USB cable will work, but the cable should have been shipped with the keyboard.

A USB is not necessary. It comes with a cord and can be plugged into an outlet, so you don't need batteries

Would love keyboards of this caliber to start having being wired/wireless (Just a built in battery). That way, even though the battery might not be able to sustain it for more than 5 - 6 hours, you can just go right back to the desktop, plug it in, and continue to use it.

I'm currently using a Logitech K120 keyboard. it's a USB keyboard No problems with the keyboard, works great along with a standard wired USB mouse. Nothing to set up, worked right off the bat. there are two USB ports on the one connect box.

i hesitated a bit after seeing reginald goodman's answer. mine was powered with the USB for the conversion operation (so is the much bigger one i bought elsewhere. batteries are not necessary), but i THINK i remember seeing a battery compartment because you can carry this thing around with you and the batteries may become necessary then.

Power by AAA batteries only. We do have a similar bluetooth keyboard that built-in lithium battery and come with a charging cable. Please go to below link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I1HF2IO
