    I was checking out coreless keyboards the other day and was curious. How long do batteries last on these things? Sure would be annoying to change it all the time.

    What the hell is a coreless keyboard?





    On all the cordless keyboard I've had I've only had to replace the batteries every couple of months.

    It's obviously a typo :p

    And it depends on usage and all, and perhaps the battery, lithium-ions vs $1 packs of 10 :p

    Thanks, yea that was a typo since I dont type the word 'cordless' often enough. Are there any cordless keyboards that have an off/on button?
