The battery time is probably my biggest gripe with it as well. I keep the backlight continuously on at the lowest setting (it turns off when inactive), and I think I get around 3-4 days of heavy usage (note: ballpark estimate!). The battery is also not (easily) replaceable. So while it's no problem from day to day (and you could keep the USB cable connected at all times if you wanted too), it's quite poor compared to regular wireless keyboards. The USB cable is only for charging btw, so I've played with the thought of gluing one of those superthin Qi pads to the back of the keyboard :)
- sergiotapia 12y agoYikes, that' abysmal. I have an iMac and use the apple wireless keyboard that comes with it and I can't even remember the last time I changed the batteries.
- MrUnderhill 12y agoI may be mistaken about the battery time, so don't take my word for it. The Logitech site says about 10 days with backlight on (12 months(!) without it)[1]. And while I get the Ubuntu keyboard battery warning after 3-4 days, there still may be a few days left in it.

- malexw 12y agoIt's worth noting that the K810 is rechargeable, however. You can leave it plugged in over USB while it's at your desk, and unplug as needed. I carry mine around with a tablet as a laptop replacement and charge both every few days. I can handle 2 or 3 days of life if it means I don't need to stock AA batteries.
- Kurtz79 12y agoYes, actually I like the idea of an internal chargeable battery through USB much more than replaceable AA batteries, since nowadays I´m very likely to have one (or two) USB chargers around when I´m travelling.
