Hi folks. I have an HP Wireless Elite keyboard I got from the Goodwill for $20. I've seen this at Wally World before and other places for $50, but now I'm wondering why I got it used for so cheap: it seems to go through AAA batteries in a day.
I'm looking for a slim-style keyboard, but it doesn't have to be wireless. I've heard of some wireless keyboards on the market that, when not being used, put a far less drain on the batteries when not being used. It's almost as if the sensor shuts off and doesn't poll any user interaction until it senses that a button or key has been pressed. I've got a bunch of working, rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, but I can still go wired or wireless.
What are some of your opinions on wireless keyboards, slim or otherwise? I originally wanted the Apple wired slim keyboard, but being unemployed I don't like to spend so much on Apple stuff anymore (which is why I build Hackintoshes). I am looking to shop on NewEgg.com when I get my purchase but am not limiting myself to that site. Any suggestions?
