I am using good old Duracell alkaline batteries too. I am using 10.4 now, I was using 10.3. And I do not switch the keyboard's power switch off, ever. 260527@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Oct 2005 21:29:38 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/24/033611.php#comment-260365 The keyboard works fine, but I'm going through batteries like crazy. A Lithium battery lasts a month at the most, one set (4...$10 worth each time) lasted 15 days. I was not turning the keyboard off every time I finished using it...is this why? What a pain, you have to pick up the keyboard and flip the switch on the bottom to turn it off. I've tried alkaline batteries...they last a couple weeks at the most if you don't turn the keyboard off. I'm finally relenting and flipping the switch everytime I leave the computer. 260365@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Oct 2005 17:07:00 EDT
