Do you have a wireless keyboard?
If you do, what do you do when you can't find any batteries?

not on my own machine but right now I'm using one
sometimes it interfers with this wireless mouse and then I can't do combi-moves as in shift-click.

My old keyboard is buried and I'm not an archaeologist.

I've never felt the need for a wireless keyboard, the keyboards' never far enough away from the base unit for wire to become an issue

Alright, I'm tired of waiting. Two hours in the recharger should be plenty to last until I go to sleep.

I have had a wireless mouse for about 4-5 years, and a wireless keyboard for about 2 years... and will never (if avoidable) change back to normal keyboard/mouse. Whenever I see a movie from my PC in the TV, it's easy to take my keyboard with me, so I don't have to "run" to the other side of the living room just to pause the movie...  (Yeah, I'm the lazy kind-a-guy  )

You never let that happen... always have a couple of extra batteries nearby...
...wait, you're talking about keyboard, not mouse? I have only once changed the batteries in my keyboard (About a year ago), and this wasn't because the batteries were out of energy... we just needed some batteries to something else... And this computer is running >10h a day...

It's unbelievable, I have this wireless keyboard and mouse, both brand new and expensive, but I've had them lay on the desk and just use my old keyboard.. how stupid is that?

A friend of mine also bought a wireless mouse, but he didn't know how to install it, so he never used it, before I came by to fix it for him... the funny thing is: It's a USB mouse, and he used WinXP (Which means it installs itself)... he just forgot to add batteries to the mouse

ADG, . I bought a new computer.. maybe 6 months ago?
So I got this wireless keyaboayd and mouse too, because they looked cool and I was thinking what the hell since I'm spending all this money, an extra hundred won't even show.
I got back home and I was excited, and in hurry to assemble and build the thing, so I just plugged my old keyboard and mouse right in so I could try it out. And that's the way my computer is now . I know it would only take me 2 minutes to put them working.. but since I haven't done it already, it's kind of a big obstacle to me

I have a wireless keyboard. The silly thing is, its sitting in front of my monitor as though it were a wired keyboard and I hardly ever move it from there.
I have a bunch of spare rechargable batteries, if the ones in the keyboard die, I just replace them and put the old ones on recharge so they are ready when the new ones die.

We do pretty much what Skany does.
If by some odd reason nothing is at hand. I grab the tv remote ones.

I use them - with network cable and peripheral crap all over, it's a pain to have even more cables.
I just keep rechargeable batteries and a charger around.

No ... But I do have a wireless mouse.
I love not being "tethered' while surfing. 
Concerning batteries - Have LOTS of them on hand!!!

Wireless Keyboard: Thinking about it, put what's the point. I'd probably have the same story as Skanky.
Wireless Mouse: Have had one for over a year now. Windows IntelliMouse Explorer and I love it. That coupled with rechargable batteries makes it very convenient for me.
