Does the keyboard have an on/off function? I would like to save battery life.

No it doesn't have an on/off switch. However, while it does take two AAA batteries, I bought my keyboard just over 3 months ago, use it for both work and my personal computing (including gaming), and the batteries just died on me for the first time last night. So it's very efficient with its power use.

no, but I don't think I have even replaced batteries once since I've owned it and I would qualify as a heavy user.

To be honest, I'm not positive whether it does or not. I do not use one, however, there is a picture of a battery in the right hand corner and it has a button that goes up and down next to it but I honestly do not know if it turns the battery off and on. There are no words but just a white line at the bottom and a blue line at the top. I know I read about it when I got it but I'm not sure where the papers are now either. I have had mine for quite some time and have only changed the batteries once, if at all. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! :o(

The "on" button for the wireless operation of the keyboard is on the upper right corner of the keyboard. Push down and hold until a green LED light lights up. To turn off the keyboard push down on the same button until the light shots off.

My keyboard only requires a battery change about once a year, I believe the keyboard powers down when you turn your computer off, but I'm not 100% sure.

Unfortunately, it does not have an on/off button. But because of the clock feature you really wouldn't want it to. Plus it has good battery life so there really are no disadvantages due to its lack of an on/off switch. Hope this helps!

The back light stays on as long as the keyboard is plugged in... It doesn't turn off... And you can customize it

Do you mean the keyboard light! If you mean that you can turn it on/off with the a certain key.

Yes... The keyboard is back-lit and can be turned on or off with a key-stroke.

I believe the only way to turn off the keyboard is to remove the batteries....but i've been using my keyboard for hours each day for the last year on the same set of batteries that it came with, so i don't think there's much to worry about.

Yes it does. Battery life for me was about 3 months with daily usage. I might add that I never click the on/off switch to turn the keyboard off.

I do not know the answer to your question. However I have never turned the switch off and have never had a problem with the charge on the keyboard.

Not as I am aware. I love the keyboard and I am very satisfied for it so far. I do not have "eating" batteries issue at all and my habit is every time I'm done with it, I manually turn off the power. This won't bother me just turn off the power by myself.

Yes, there is an easy-to-find button on the face of the keyboard. I leave mine off when not in use, and when I approach my computer I do not need additional light in order to locate the 'on' button.

Mine stays on as long as the keyboard is being used. After sitting idle for a few minutes it will turn off like it's in a sleep mode. Once you tap a key, it comes back on.

You can leave the keyboard on, battery will last very long anyway. May be good to off just to avoid pressing keys and mess up the pc.

Yes. I believe it is what del justen shared below:"Yes, it does that to save battery. Once you press a button give a second then it will reactivate."Although it is somewhat irritating when you are multi-tasking between things. Anyone know if there is a setting that will tell the tablet to ONLY use the keyboard and not switch with inactivity?

According to my son, who is using these products, NO, there is not an on/off switch on the keyboard, nor on the mouse. The product information says "700-hour continuous-use battery life and automatic sleep mode allow up to half a year between battery changes". Both the keyboard and the mouse require batteries. We haven't had these items for very long, but we have not had to replace the batteries and he is using them every school day with his tablet.

The keyboard does not have a power/on off sleep button. It is powerd from the usb connection.
