No there is no way to turn it off. However, I have had mine for about 6 months and the batteries are still going strong.

It cant be turned off. Only the mouse which turns both things off. But the keyboard does ware out the batteries so I never put the lid on the batteries compartment and try to take them out every time. If I forget it doesnt really matter as they do last for some time and most important I use rechargeable batteries here.

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.

Mine has never done that ... I charge the keyboard often as there is no indicator light that warns of low power, maybe that will help you too.

I had the same problem. It seems to work for me if I turn the power off in-between each use--meaning when I'm done working I turn it off and then turn it back on when I'm ready to use again. I've found that I need to do this if I have not used the keyboard for longer than an hour. Additionally, I always need to do this if I move my laptop to another room and then bring it back to my desk. This is an unfortunate problem because I really like the keyboard, except for this problem. BTW, I purchased the Bluetooth Sculpt Mouse at the same time, and I've never been able to get it to connect properly for longer than a few minutes.

Be sure to turn on the switch on the top left corner near the esc key. You also need to charge the keyboard by connecting the standard USB port on the tablet part to the mini usb on the keyboard. If it doesn't work after charging ~ call support. When the keyboard power button is on, you will see a white light next to the switch. It may be orange if the power is low.

Make sure that the magnet at the top of your case is not touching your screen. Also, the connection may not be as tight as it started out being. I have looked under the keyboard and there is not a battery. I would suggest jiggle lightly the part of the cord connecting keyboard to tablet. Just a slight movement to make it realize that something is plugged in. Also try not to use this keyboard port as a charger for your Tablet. I noticed that caused a problem also.

I agree with the other answers: the toggle switch is on the bottom. Turning it off when not in use saves the battery (just like a flashlight).

I have switched this off from the start as I am always trying to extend the life of things. It is very unfortunate this battery does not last longer. I don't believe it was situation with the battery life/on/off was listed anywhere when these were first available and it should have been. I bought mine as a lightening deal and hopefully the battery lasts for awhile. I may buy one now so I do have a spare when mine does go. I kept my old keyboard just in case and hopefully won't need it.

No, the keyboard connects with the same adaptor as the mouse and there is not an on/off. Change out the battery before you chalk it up to faulty.

I forgot to mention it my previous answer to you, the Logitech keyboard has an on-off switch on it unlike the Perixx, and you can cut the battery power off completely if you're not going to use it for a while so that there's no battery drain at all, instead of being in low-power standby mode like the Perixx.

You can turn it off but only on the keyboard but it's hard to see the letters when it's off. And the mouse has led but it doesn't turnoff ever and I'll have to check the warranty on it when I get home

Nope! Inserting the USB receiver into the mouse MAY turn the mouse off (can't tell), but the keyboard is always on, but battery usage is nil during idle anyway. This pair is very slick, BTW, and have instant response. Keys are low contrast with small font, so you can MASSIVELY improve that by getting these stick-on letters: "ENGLISH US LARGE LETTERS KEYBOARD STICKERS NON TRANSPARENT BLACK BACKGROUND" ... only $1.80 but tricky to apply ... terrific keyboard after that!

The keyboard is backlit, but you will need to adjust the power settings if you want the backlighting on while on battery.

The keyboard light should go off after about 30 seconds of inactivity. Once you touch the keys the light should come back on.

There in no on off, it goes in to sleep mode if used, wakes when u touch any key.

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.
