One review states that the keyboard comes with batteries. So do they recharge when the USB is plugged in or do you need an independent charger?

I've kept my mine plugged almost all the time since I got it unplugging it a few times to sit back and type. Have not had the keyboard die or any issues. This is seriously an excellent keyboard.

batteries are not rechargable. when you don't use the keyboard, it goes to 'sleep', but the slightest nudge wakes it up. i keep mine in a drawer when not in use and the batteries seem to last forever.

It comes with a keyboard charger. Write to the seller,he will send you the charger at no charge. He is very responsive and very customer oriented.

Plug in the usb cable into the keyboard and inot a computer that is turned on. Wait for the light to change color or go off. If the keyboard is low on power, it has taken mine 4 hours to recharge..

It only takes a few hours the first time you charge it. Honestly, I got my keyboard a few months ago and have only had to charge it twice. This thing has a crazy long battery life.

I have not had a problem with mine not keeping a charge, but I did notice when I first charged it that you need to make sure that the cable is going through the provided hole properly so that it stays connected. I didn't have mine in all the way and didn't notice it and it didn't hold the charge long that time. After I paid better attention to connecting the cable it has been fine ever since. Don't forget that the keyboard has a separate usb charger on the right hand side of the keyboard that also needs to be charged. I know this isn't much but I hope it helps. Lora C

The bluetooth keyboard does NOT come with a charger. It comes with one USB cable and my husband plugs it into a USB port on his computer to charge it. Any universal size USB cable should work.

The keyboard links up via blue tooth. It charges with a micro usb cable. Currently its is being used as a carrying solution and the keyboard hasn't been used much. But this was a gift from December 2012, which was fully charged in December and STILL to this day has a charge. Standby time is awesome. The toggle switch is a little tricky, but once you see it and toggle it, its easy from there.

Yes. If the keyboard is attached then you charge on the side of the keyboard. If no keyboard is attached, there's a slot in the case for the charger port.

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.

Yes, it does come with a charger for just the Keyboard. It is USB, but plugs in seperatly from iPad.

It comes with a charging cable. The keyboard side has a charging port similar to a digital camera or smart phone (smaller than a standard usb). The other side of the cable is a standard usb male connector that connects to a power source.

Keyboard and ipad should be charged up, on the first pairing. Followed the instructions from online. Don't remember but I assume it came with a cord; but I also use my Samsung S4 USB A to B cord. Now with a Jackery Bar(a rechargeable brick w/ USB A2B cord), I don't have to make certain it's charged before school.

A USB to micro USB cable is included. You can plug it into the USB port on your computer or a 5 volt plug power converter that used for an iPhone or into a power strip that has a USB connector for charging. I use it every day all day long and must charge the keyboard about every 3 weeks. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge from zero charge.

I have not needed to replace battery, so I don't know about that. I have charged the keyboard with a USB cord and wall attachment which seems to work much better than computer.

Yes keyboard needs to be charged. To fully charge it takes 1 hour. Charging cable is supplied when you bought the leyboard

As far as I know, the USB cable is just for charging the built in battery. It is not to connect it to your device (That is why this is a wireless Bluetooth keyboard). As far as that goes, yes, the cable may be left plugged it. It will stop charging when the battery has a full charge.

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.
