Yet it does :-) Maybe it is not as bad as I said. Maybe it lasts more than month indeed. I just know I used it very rarely and when I needed it I found batteries empty more than once. The positive bit is that you can actually open it without connecting to anything, type some very long sentence, then close it, then open it later, then connect it to some device and the sentence is sent to device after connection. Magic :-) For comaprsion check this one http://www.wirelessground.com/stblke.html "Estimated Battery Life Estimates are based on using a keyboard for 4 hours per day. 200+ days" That's what I call good battery life. Shasta is 'up to 3 months' just like you notebook battery is 'up to 6 hours' :-) Still it is not an issue if you keep piece of paper under battery door and don't mind pairing on the beginning. And the keys are quite good and big with full five rows. > > You still haven't told us if the behaviour you experienced was with > the keyboard fully closed or if you left it standing in open position. Would you leave foldable keyboard opened and unused collecting dust for several weeks?
