Bluetooth Keyboard Battery Drain

So perhaps I was too quick to judge. I was having horrible battery life issues with my SL2-S and then I discovered that bluetooth was ON, which is fine, but not when Auto Wakeup is also ON. With this configuration on the SL2-S it will very quickly drain the life out of a battery even when the camera is switched off or asleep. Leaving both of these off significantly improves battery life and if Auto Wakeup is off bluetooth can remain configured ON and not drain the battery when the camera is switched off. Hope this helps others...

I used this product because it is less drain on my camera battery

Love it so much, did not experience any noticeable battery drain while sitting.

I've been using clicky mechanical keyboards with my desktop computers for years. I love the build quality, the key travel and that satisfying sound. My only issue's been the thickness because my keyboard tray isn't deep enough to accommodate a palm rest. That meant an uncomfortable wrist angle. This Logi low profile solves that easily. For my purposes, this keyboard does everything I need, want and like. And it does it beautifully. Regarding comments about a slow backlighting sensor, the keys on my unit light up as my hands approach and it seems to be on a par with Logi's MX Keys which I've also used and I did not find it objectionable. As for backlighting going off too quickly, I don't have a problem with that either. It probably helps battery life, which is outstanding. I'm using this new keyboard, via Bluetooth, with one of Apple's new iMacs with the silicon chip and the Bluetooth connection is solid. The Bluetooth settings do show the percentage of the battery charge. If you need to boot from safe mode where Bluetooth doesn't work, just pair the keyboard to the included Logi Bolt USB receiver. The only suggestion I would make to Logitech would be to consider using PBT keycaps since they are virtually immune to fingertip oils and smudges, although a microfiber cloth will work on the existing keycaps.

Great wireless keyboard. Works seamlessly via bluetooth. Amazing battery life. happy to have the 10 key numeric pad. Love it.

Nice design keyboard, I like the round keys design. And it allow me to connect to 3 devices via bluetooth. The battery life is decent so far. I used to have the aftermarket keyboard with the same functionarity but the battery lasts for a month only. Although this one is bit pricy, but I believe it worths the money.

Love the feel and quality of the keyboard. It has met my expectations according to the specs and the advertisement. However it does drain the battery quite a bit.

The drain battery feature is brilliant. It helps maximize the life of your batteries.

This is exactly what I needed. I still haven't managed to drain 1 full battery on a busy shoot.

I like the separate meters for each battery and drain option to get the batteries back to full charge.
