Computer was powered off 4 days ago and when powered on, keyboard batteries were dead. Mouse was alive and well. Suspect a defective keyboard. And it reduces weight of the mouse too. The keyboard also has a slot to store the USB receiver near the battery compartment. Everything seems fine with the set except that the top part of the keyboard is glossy and prone to fingermarks. The function keys are rather small and uni-formally placed to add to aesthetics but it is difficult to locate them without looking as I am used to the function keys being grouped in fours Standard Layout.
Admittedly, one of the things that did sell me was the encryption. The battery of the mouse died after 1month and 20 days. I had inserted only 1battery so I with two batteries it will last for 3 months with 8 hours daily use and switched off for the rest time.
The keyboard is still going on after around two months. I am overall satisfied with its performance. Is there a way to shut off the keyboard? Or does it turn itself off when the computer is turned off? I know, im a neewb, but cant fint an on and off button on this keyboard.
This is my first wireless keyboard, so just need to ask:. There is also an apparent light near the right top with a half full battery symbol next to it — I suppose it comes on when the batteries are nearly flat???
And all those blue icons, what do they mean? They could at least have included a booklet explaining the keyboard and telling us why there is no on off switch. If you installed IntelliType then it shows visual notification.
Also you can turn on toggle keys so that there is a beep whenever status of the keys change. On the power switch part it is better without one as it is cumbersome having to turn all your devices manually.
I think it has auto-power management as I am using it since three months without battery change. The 4-way scroll in this mice is proprietary and works only with a handful of applications after installing IntelliPoint. On the other hand Logitech mice it is generic and works on all programs. I use Wizmouse which allows me to scroll a window without focusing on it Hover and Scroll like Linux. James- there is on on-screen indicator when the caps lock is on, and a troubleshooting article about the lights.
I agree that some of this should have been better explained in the manual. I cannot seem to get the mouse to re-sync for use. Any help is greatly appreciated! I read post by Drawin Kumar 24 Jan re caps lock would you please advise how to turn on beep in toggle keys thank you.
Hope you got it. The generic solution would be to first try deleting the drivers in the Device Manger and restarting the computer to let it re-discover the keyboard. If that did not work, I would uninstall the drivers and start over again following the manual steps.
I just purchased this combo, and the mouse is erratic at times. Other times it works fine. Would the web site I am on, have any effect on the mouse?? I have already tried different batteries, and followed the advice on the Microsoft website. I can still return the unit if you believe it is defective, or is it just the way these wireless units work? My old DEll wired unit, worked perfectly. I was even considering exchanging this unit for the Logitech MK Comments, suggesctions, please.
Thanks, Mike. I have been using it for almost 6 months now without any complain. Your piece might be defective though. It works on most surfaces so mouse pad cannot be an issue except if the surface is glass. Unsolicited bulk mail or bulk advertising.

Have you actually read the product guide? It says absolutely nothing about how to open the battery compartment. Why not provide a picture and say where to press and lift?

The mouse comes with a two-year warranty. The included manual lists support phone numbers and directs you to Microsoft's support Web site , where you can search for FAQs and helpful articles.
