The receiver has a power plug (to charge mouse; it is a cradle for it as well as receiver), a USB plug, and a PS\/2 mouse connector. All functions work with USB only, it seems.<\/p>\n<p>Now, suppose the keyboard eats batteries like mad, but since it&#8217;s just sitting on the desk, it would be more practical to make it wired. This keyboard is a favourite, and it&#8217;s not cost effective (nor would I enjoy it) to replace it with any wired keyboard on store shelves today.<\/p>\n<p>What would be required to convert the keyboard (ignore the mouse, it is not needed) to be wired?<\/p>\n<p>I have a USB cord out of a now-dead mouse which can be used, if the wire can somehow run directly from keyboard to PC. If the receiver must be connected somehow, how would I go about wiring this, since the goal we are trying to accomplish is to eliminate the batteries?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n<\/td>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":37},"question-category":[],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-607","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=607"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
