cordless mouse & keyboard for Apple's iMac

8 May 2015

The cordless mouse for my iMac goes through batteries in a week at the most, usually 3 or 4 days. Is there a battery brand that can get longer life in the Apple cordless mouses?

Also, the tiny keyboard that comes with iMac drives me crazy when writing stoires. Has anyone ever purchased a standard size keyboard for your iMac to replace the miniature ones that Apple supplies? If so, which ones work the best with the iMac?

I don't know if this has been resolved, but the imac mouse is designed to go into sleep mode. It's possible yours is not. You could try shutting it off at night, if you're not already. If that doesn't help, I would pick up a charger and two sets of rechargeable lithium batteries. You can also get an inductive charger, you just place the mouse on the pad when you're not using it, and it charges.

As for the keyboard, Logitech makes a keyboard that is mac compatible(with mac OS X 10.5 or later)... http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-solar-keyboard-k750-mac
