I hate that kind of thing. Headphones are just such a basic technology, but to encumber that with networking protocols, and require batteries... The headphones are for listening to my phone when I'm out for a walk. That's the only reason I got them. They were really cheap on Amazon and I'm very happy with them (rechargeable battery lasts about 10 hours). I only mentioned them as an example of another BT device that does work with the dongle in question. I had a wireless keyboard for a while, but it annoyed me for similar reasons. Always having to replace or recharge batteries, they never though of making it dual corded/wireless, so you could recharge it, used it plugged in, and unplug it for those times that you wanted to take the keyboard further away. And you were forever having re-pair the keyboard, mouse and/or receiver... I guess I've been lucky with the kb/mouse combo. It was never given me any problems of that sort, though I don't really like the layout and it doesn't have backlit keys (which of course would eat battery power). As it is, I've had it over a year in daily use and IIRC have not had to change the battery yet.
I've been using my Logitech kb/mouse combo for, hmmm, three years. I've had to replace the batteries on them innumerable times (2xAA for the kb, 2xAA for the mouse) but they get used heavily 12 hours a day. Other than a new desk with enough metal in it to cause issues with the signal at one time (fixed by relocating the dongle which is attached via a USB cable), they've worked very well. This is not an endorsement, just an observation. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - To err is human, to moo bovine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
