I often move my keyboard to a sideboard when I'm not using it and
want more desktop work space. The wire is a hindrance for me.

I have a Logitech K800 back-lit keyboard and a Performance MX mouse.

The rechargeable AA battery in the mouse has a battery life of ~8 days so I have to plug the mouse in to USB cable once a week to recharge.

Oddly, the K800 back-lit keyboard lasts longer at about 14 days between charges.


I got a back-lit keyboard so I coudl type in the dark, but the keyboard
itself felt strange and I couldn't even get the letters I actually knew.

So know I get up and turn the light on.

Coincidentally, the timer just turned the light on, so I'd better not
use any special characters.
