Logitech MK710 Keyboard Boasts Three-Year Battery Life

By Dena Cassella Published February 10, 2010

Logitech’s new wireless desktop MK710 mouse-and-keyboard combo has some drool-worthy features—but we’re going to have to say the best part about the MK710 is its three-year battery life. You heard us: This keyboard combo sports a three-year long battery life, supported by Logitech’s 2.4 GHz wireless technology. The company says the MK710 conserves power and reserves battery life when not in use, prolonging the actual life to about three-years. The MK710 also features “incurve keys” that fit your fingertips, a sculpted mouse with zippy scrolling, and easy to reach customizable buttons.

“No one thinks about changing batteries until they have to, but when that time comes, it can stop you in your tracks,” said Rory Dooley, Logitech’s senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. “With its industry-first three-year battery life for a combo, you might just forget the Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 uses batteries at all.”

The Logitech MK710 will be available in Europe this month and available in the US this April for $100 USD.

Should you buy a new wireless keyboard on Prime Day?
Prime Day wireless keyboard sales are a pretty good time to get a new wireless keyboard. That's because discounts tend to be as substantial as they are on Black Friday thanks to Amazon preferring to offer heavy discounts on all things tech.

65% is my keyboard layout endgame, but manufacturers won’t deliver the goods

65 keyboards are best where is logitech g915

I’ve always been a full-keyboard kind of guy. Not to the point of using macros, but I’ve been religious about the full 104-key layout with a numpad, in hindsight, out of a purist’s mentality. But I’ve now been reviewing keyboards for the better part of a year, and I’m starting to doubt my faith.

You see, I -- and most other people, I suspect -- don’t use most of the keys on my plank. When it comes to the numpad, Num Lock goes unused, and the rest of the keys are found elsewhere, too. Of the F-row, I use F4 to close programs, and once in a while F5 for quick-saving in games while the rest, again, goes unused. And that island between the numpad and the main keys, I only use Delete – no other of the nine keys there. OK, maybe Print Screen from time to time, but it’s rare and I’ve mostly switched to the much-easier snipping tool.
