Logitech Cordless Keyboard & Mouse

delta_bravo

I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse around 2 years ago. As expected the mouse battery life has greatly deteriorated. The recharged mouse lasted around 2 weeks at first and now gives up after around 2 days. The battery is nickel metal hydride. Where could i obtain replacement batteries.

Also, the keyboard has batteries inside it but they dont appear to ever go flat. Any reason for this?

That's to be expected. Battery life degrades and mouses are notorious for eating through them. Keyboard batteries last an incredible amount of time simply because they only transmit the actual keypress very briefly. The mouse on the other hand consumes constant power on every little movement.

I'd suggest you look at getting the viking microsoft 1000 from the bargain alerts thread - €12.65.

thanks for the info about the keyboard. i was wondering though, would just some new nickel metal hydride batteries do the job?

If you can obtain replacements then yes.

They would. Just try finding the same ones (i.e. same voltage)!
