Yeah.  My wireless keyboard eats up batteries like crazy.  Is this normal?

No, normally keyboards like to chew their batteries, savoring the acid as it tingles in their mouth. They will then casually swallow, allowing for at least 4 hours to digest. They rarely need to snack in between, so if it really is eating your batteries left right and centre, have it put down and try to find another.

Some logitech wireless keyboard.  I have a pic of it hosted on imageshack.  Let me find it.  I got it for free so I'm not really sure what model or what it is.

Heres a pic.

I have the same keyboard and mouse. Yes they eat alot of batteries. Extra rechargable batteries for my keyboard and alternate them between the keyboard and mouse to keep them charged.

P.S. It's called the Logitech Wireless Elite keyboard
