anyone know? for some reason logitech's mice are usually rechargeable, but the keyboard in the same box is not. and does anyone know if they take AAs? could pick me up some rechargeable AAs pretty easily, i guess.

I bought my first wireless keyboard back in '00 (logitech cordless itouch). Been using it since then and have yet to change the batteries.

The wireless keyboard I use needs a recharge of the batteries every 3-4 months at earliest.

My MX duo keyboard is still on the original AA's, over a year IIRC.

My MS keyboards seem to need batteries about every 6 months or so...
