Does the keyboard switch off when disconnected? I know that the Belkin quode has that functionality.

It does not turn off when separated (disconnected) from the ipad. It does go asleep after a period of non use.

Are you leaving the keyboard on/off switch on all the time? This will cause your battery to drain faster than if you turned the switch off when not using the keyboard. You are not really giving me enough information to give you a better answer. I haven't had this problem, but I always turn the on/off switch to the off position when I'm not using the keyboard.

I will suggest you to leave power off when you finish using the keyboard. But do not keep on and off too often during the short period otherwise the sensibility may be affected.

I am a newbie too! I tend to shut my keyboard off when I am using my device as a tablet. There is a little lag time when I do fire it up to use the tablet/keyboard combo as a laptop, but it saves battery life and prevents inadvertent keystrokes etc. Hope this helps!

Hi to be honest with you up until I received your question. I have not used the key board much,other then setting up the Bluetooth device with the tablet. This is what I found out when I tried it tonight. I think when you turn on the Bluetooth device it does turn off the Samsung keyboard as far as I know,but then when you do turn off the Bluetooth keyboard. the Samsung tablet key pad pops up again to use. I hope this helps you with your question.

There's an on and off switch at the corner. The iPad recognizes the bluetooth connection immediately and you can start typing very quickly. Once you turn the keyboard off, the response is almost equally immediate. It takes a split second to recognize you turned off the keyboard and to bring up the iPad keyboard if you want to use that instead.

No, the keyboard is separate from tablet.That is good one can turn off keyboard if not needed.

The keyboard is switched off/on by the switch located on the mouse, also the entire unit runs off of a single USB piece that plugs into your pc and stores in bottom of mouse. So far I have had no problems with this product. Best option is to toss the old mouse and get a new setup.

My keyboard only requires a battery change about once a year, I believe the keyboard powers down when you turn your computer off, but I'm not 100% sure.

No it doesn't have an on/off switch. However, while it does take two AAA batteries, I bought my keyboard just over 3 months ago, use it for both work and my personal computing (including gaming), and the batteries just died on me for the first time last night. So it's very efficient with its power use.

I have not had any issues with this keyboard and I've had it for about 6 months. My computer usually stays off until I use it, though.

there is a little rectangular switch on the top right side(not on the face of the keyboard, along the side of it) of the keyboard that goes up and down. that is the on/off switch.

I have two computers on my desk (Windows and Linux). And I have two sets of the MS 5000 keyboard and mouse, side by side, one connected to each computer, and have seen no interference whatsoever. I dislike the recessed function keys, but after using for years, I'm getting used to them.

Nobody responded in the last week so I'll provide an update myself (Boomer). I purchased the cheapest lighted keyboard I could find (not the Saitek) to test it with my KVM switch. Bottom line: everything works great. I thought if the light caused the switch not to operate properly, I could just turn the light off when activating the switch. In fact, that wasn't necessary (at least for the keyboard I purchased).

If it's on the tablet default settings the screen will turn off. Unrelated to the keyboard. The keyboard does not affect the tablet whatsoever besides it adding a bluetooth keyboard.

The "LED indicator" is just a little light under a tiny panel under the on/off switch. On mine, a blue light comes on when it needs a charge. When I plug it in, a little red light comes on. When it's done, it goes out. Here's the thing, though; the keyboard sleeps when not in use for a couple of minutes extending the battery life for so long that I have only charged mine twiceand one of those two times was when I first received it. The battery life is incredible.

No it does not. But it's very responsive to the keyboard commanding, and it automatically switches to the appropriate computer if there's only one connection.
