Rechargable Batteries for Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

I'm wondering if rechargeable batteries are compatible with the Wireless Keyboard & Mouse, and if so, what types does Apple recommend? I'm constantly going through regular batteries to power these devices. Thanks.

I bought some ordinary rechargable batteries from Maplin Electronics (AA NiMH) and they were perfect (even came with an AC charger) for £9.99 (they supplied 6 and 2 AAA), so perfect for the keyboard.
Hope that helps.

Anyone have any ideas????

Is there available for iMac OS X version 10.4.11 700 MHz Power PC G4 a wireless keyboard and mouse combo?

Is there a wireless keyboard and mouse combo anywhere available for iMac OS X version 10.4.11 700 MHz Power PC?

All the keyboards I'm finding require built-in Bluetooth, something G3 iMacs don't have. So you'd need to start with a Bluetooth USB adaptor like this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/IOGear/GBU321/
Its specs says it works with Mac OS 10.3.9 or newer. The you should ba able to add a wireless board and/or mouse IF you find one that has support for a Mac OS level older than 10.5 or an Intel processor. Most current boards require 10.5.8, and Intel processor, or both.
The cost for all this could easily be 4-5X the used market value of a G3 iMac so please think this through carefully. A long USB extension cable might be a better option fo such an old computer.

What's going on with my wireless keyboard and mouse power status?

My iMac (Nov. 2009) came with the wireless keyboard and mouse. When the original batteries wore out, I started using rechargeable batteries and that has worked fine. This is Energizer recharger, not Apple's. I've used and recharged them for well over a year now. When my batteries are freshly recharged, my iMac tells me I have something like 75% charge.
Earlier this week I'm being told that the batteries have 100% charge. They've never been 100% charged, even when they were new. I haven't charged the batteries for several weeks either when suddenly I supposedly have 100% charge.
What's going on?

This is a change that occurred with the 10.6.7 update. Everyone suddenly has 100% charge when other tools report less. Either it's a bug or they adjusted the scale by which it's measured. Some users report that the percentage starts to decrease after the battery is more depleted.
There's a widget you can use in dashboard in the mean time. Located here:

We'll wait and see if this is a bug or intentional.

My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

"This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
Keep us posted.

Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard and Mouse not connecting

I just bought the Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, but I can't get either to work. My machine (ThinkPad X230-2324-HQ4) does not have a CD drive for me to use the install CD, so I found and downloaded the driver from your support site:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77112
I installed the driver properly and restarted my computer, but neither the keyboard or mouse will connect still. I've checked the batteries, and I've verified that my ThankPad's Bluetooth drivers are up to date and working properly, but I still can't seem to get it to work. I've found posts on here from people with similar issues, but they seem to all be related to the Ultraslim, not the Ultraslim Plus. The Ultraslim Plus does not include a USB dongle for connection.
Please help!

The Ultraslim Plus Wireless Kit is Wireless 2.4G solution, it is not Bluetooth solution. It has a dongle when shipping. Maybe you can check the mouse or Keyboard inside and find the dongle. You can open the mouse battery bin, it should be a dongle at top of two batteries. If you still can not find the dongle, I suggest you call the Lenovo help center since you don't have the dongle.

My Mac wireless keyboard and mouse won't reconnect

My Mac wireless keyboard and and mouse one day disconnected and I can't reconnect. They have new batteries.

Hi Saint Anne,
Happy Thanksgiving Day! Since both of your wireless input devices are not working at the moment, do you have a wired mouse you can use to straighten this out? Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Wireless Connection issue
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
First, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth and confirm that Bluetooth is turned ON.
The Bluetooth menu bar icon should turn:
Black if Bluetooth is turned ON and no devices are connected.
Light grey with three dots if Bluetooth is ON and at least one wireless device is connected.
Light grey (or disappear completely) if Bluetooth is turned OFF, or if the iMac is unable to communicate with the Bluetooth module.
Refer to the Bluetooth Menu Icon table below for more information on determining the Bluetooth status. If the Bluetooth icon does not appear, or if the menu bar status continues to indicate that Bluetooth is off, restart your computer and then attempt to turn Bluetooth ON again.
Bluetooth OFF
Bluetooth ON and connected to wireless device
Bluetooth menu icon
Bluetooth status
Bluetooth turned on, but there are no devices connected to the Mac. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
Bluetooth turned on and at least one wireless device is connected. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
When this icon flashes, at least one wireless device has a low battery. Click the Bluetooth icon to identify the affected device, then replace the batteries.
Bluetooth is off. Click the Bluetooth icon using a USB mouse and select "Turn Bluetooth On". Note: Mac OS X won’t allow Bluetooth to be turned off unless a USB mouse is connected.
Bluetooth offline. Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn’t change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again.
Make sure the wireless mouse and keyboard are turned on.
Mouse
Slide the On/Off switch on the bottom of your mouse to turn it on. Note: If the battery compartment cover is not installed properly the On/Off switch may not function correctly or may be difficult to operate. Remove the battery compartment cover and carefully reinstall it.
When your mouse is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the indicator light glows steadily.
If your mouse isn’t paired with a Mac, the indicator light will blink, indicating your mouse is in discovery mode and ready to pair.
If the indicator light doesn't illuminate, check to make sure you have two good batteries and that they're installed correctly.
Keyboard
Push and release the On/Off switch to turn on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
When your keyboard is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the light will glow steadily for several seconds, then turn off.
If your wireless keyboard isn’t paired with your Mac, the indicator light will begin to blink. This indicates your keyboard is in discovery mode and ready to pair with your Mac.
If the LED doesn't light up, remove the batteries to make sure they're good and that they're installed correctly.
Check preferences
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu. The Bluetooth preferences pane will list the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer, the status of the devices (paired or connected), and whether Bluetooth power is on or not.
Click the gear icon and choose "Connect" to connect a device that is powered on.
To set up a new device, click the + icon and follow the Bluetooth setup assistant.
If the Mouse System Preferences pane is open and no wired or wireless mouse is connected, your Mac will immediately start looking for a wireless mouse (with Mac OS X v10.6. For Mac OS X v10.5, the Setup Assistant should open).
Keyboard or mouse intermittently stops responding
Click the mouse
Click the mouse once to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the mouse to respond.
Check the battery level of the mouse. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Mouse from the View menu. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low. Note: Choose Keyboard & Mouse from the View menu with Mac OS X v10.5. For more information on keyboard and mouse battery levels in Mac OS X v10.5, see Desktop computers: Troubleshooting wireless keyboard and mouse issues.
Press a key on the keyboard
Press a key on the keyboard to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the keyboard to respond.
Check the battery level of the keyboard. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Keyboard from the View menu and select the Keyboard tab. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Check for signal interference
Wireless networks that operate on 2.4GHz may cause interference.
Move cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other 2.4GHz electrical devices away from the Mac if you suspect interference.
Keep wireless devices within 10 meters (33 feet) of the Mac.
Avoid putting metal objects between the device and the Mac.
Mouse doesn't scroll up or down or side to side
For mice that have a scroll ball, refer to How to clean your Mighty Mouse.
Check the Scrolling speed slide-control at the top, and make sure the “Scroll” checkbox is checked.
For scrolling side-to-side, make sure the application you’re using supports side-to-side scrolling.
Remember, scrolling is done with one finger, and navigating is done by swiping side-to-side with two fingers.
Navigating moves from page to page in a document or internet browser unlike scrolling.
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Keyboard has one or more keys that do not respond.
Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Language & Textfrom the View menu (or International from the View menu in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier).
Select Input Sources.
Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
Enable the input source for the keyboard layout you are testing by selecting the checkbox next to it.
Make sure that "Show Input menu in menu bar" is enabled.
Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar, as shown.
The Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard layout.
Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and observe whether the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that particular key is functioning correctly. In the sample shown above the shift and command keys are being pressed.
If the mouse keys feature in the Universal Access System Preferences pane is enabled, many of the keyboard keys may not respond as expected.
Try starting up into single user mode to determine whether a software issue is causing the issue.
Cheers,
Judy

Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

Hi , I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
can the nano reciever be replaced;
any other options to troubleshoot;
any chance that this could be a software problem
Thanks

Initial set up with wireless keyboard and mouse!!

My gods, I set up a mac mini with wireless keyboard and mouse. It stead fastly refused to find the brand new apple wireless mouse. I had to plug a wacom in, in the end to get anywhere. Then it would not find the keyboard, again apple wireless. It did find the keyboard but when it started the pairing just came up with no keyboards were found.
I struggled in the end and after around 10 minutes blagged the keyboard, I don't know how it just suddenly worked.
Thinking about this I had the self same problem on a wireless keyboard and mouse for an iMac as well I installed for a friend, it took ages and ages for the computer to discover the two apple devices.
Am I just unlucky or is there voodoo involved? Luckily I am a seasoned apple user so got there in the end, but if I were a switcher and the very first experience of my new mac was it could not find its own mouse, I would not be impressed.

I've been using the Apple wireless mouse and keyboard with my Mac mini for about a year.
I've noticed that whenever the batteries for the two devices are running very low, they may not be recognize by the mini. Other than that, they are fine.

Will the new Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work with my Macbook Pro?

Looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Macbook Pro. Figured the one made by apple will work, but not sure... Any suggestions on a good wireless keyboard and mouse, or knowledge on whether Apples will work or not?

magic mouse: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MB829LLABB/
I just got them last week and the keyboard is new and the mouse is used but looks brand new. And you get a free pair of AA bateries with the mouse. And you can get 2AA batteries for the keyboard for an extra $1.29 I highly recommend going this route as I did very recently and am very pleased.

My new mac mini doesn't detect my wireless keyboard and mouse from logitech

I recently bought the Logitech MK550 wireless keyboard and mouse combo for my late 2014 Mac mini. Basic functions work, however, when I try to add the keyboard and mouse in the System Preferences it can't find either one. So right now I have this great big keyboard that I can only use about half it's full functionality and an unassigned button on the mouse. Any ideas? Also, I would like to add an apple remote to my mini. I have one from my old iMac. Is this possible?

Try resetting the SMC.
Question #2 - I have no idea.
