Logitech Desktop Can Keep Rolling for 3 Years

[HVDynamo]

Wireless keyboards and mice have only one place among computers for me, a HTPC, thats it. Otherwise I hate having to deal with batteries. I'll take the cord any day. Although, I have been getting rather irritated at how USB cords have been getting shorter and shorter over the years. My 3rd gen ipod cable was ridiculously long and now my iphone cable barely makes it from the floor to my nightstand. Maybe thats just a trend among apple, but I have my keyboard 3 feet away from my gaming machine and I have to use an extension cable because it doesn't reach.

There's nothing new here, the previous model(MK700) also claimed 3 years battery life.

Can't it just charge from a usb cable... and when you want to move, you unplug it?

two million keystrokes per year

So basically it can survive 6 million keystrokes.

For reference my last research paper was about 30,000 characters. That was 4 pages (single space) of text, a page of works cited, and another 3 pages of annotated bibliography.

Draw whatever conclusions you want.

PS: English comp suuuucks.

Those are good batteries, and they're ULSD (ultra low self discharge), which is vital for low drain devices. In fact AA eneloops are only 100 mah shy of the Imedions on that site, and eneloops have a good track record. Even Rayovac hybrids and duracell pre-charged LSD batteries are pretty good. For higher drain devices, the rechargeable lithiums like rayovac 4.0 are probably a better option.

I have two Logitech Keyboards, one for the PS3, and one that comes with the 5500 Revolution bundle. I don't remember the last time I had changed the batteries. But that reminded me I should buy extra just in case. Love Logitech products.

I notice a lag with wireless mice. It makes it hard to play FPS games. I'll stick with the wire for now.

The problem I see here is when the day the batteries finally die arrives, the user will be so surprised he won't know what to do! He might even think the desktop is defective.

I'd rather have a rechargable battery in the keyboard and just plug it with a usb port on the computer like we do PS3 wireless controlers.

[citation][nom]Yuka[/nom]If it lasts at least 1 year with my gaming habits (FPS+RTS), I'm in for it.Sounds friggin' sweet. Good one, Logitech.Cheers![/citation]

Playing a FPS competitively with that gear would be blasphemy.

A G15/G25 keyboard and a G9+ mice is the way to go!

I frequently play MMORPG's and keep a spare mouse on my desk for the inevitable time when the mouse batteries die while I am healing a raid. always happens. this is interesting though.

You could always just use induction and have a wireless mouse with no batteries. My just has a wired mousepad.
