Allegedly, on or about 29 October 2015, Rick Stevens sent: > 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. That was one of my issues. They don't seem designed for heavy use, just occasional interaction. I don't have any personal need for a wireless keyboard, I nearly always type at the same location, with a desktop computer: You have a collection of hardware that's always going to be there (computer, monitor, speakers, etc.), anyway. But a cordless mouse does seem useful, thanks to how the cables wrap around things, then snag on something, though the battery and wireless issues outweigh that inconvenience (I used a wireless one for years, so it's bitter experience). Long ago I saw what may be the best of both worlds, and I must go looking again: Essentially, the mouse pad is plugged into the computer, and you have a cordless mouse that rides on top of it (a bit like a Wacom tablet, but using a mouse instead of a pen). You get a cable free mouse, but don't need batteries, nor have to deal with wireless issues. The mouse pad is about as static on the desk as a keyboard, so you don't have to deal with shifting cables getting caught on things. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
