The required two AAA batteries are not included, but a typical pair is rated to last around 700 hours of continuous use, which works out to about a half year between battery changes. Naturally, there&#8217;s an automatic sleep mode when the keyboard is not in use for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3707\" style=\"width: 1894px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3707\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0907.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3707 lazyload\" alt=\"A closer look.\" width=\"1884\" height=\"932\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-3707\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3707\" src=\"http:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0907.jpg\" alt=\"A closer look.\" width=\"1884\" height=\"932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0907.jpg 1884w, https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0907-150x74.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0907-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0907-768x380.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0907-1024x507.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1884px) 100vw, 1884px\" \/><\/noscript> A closer look.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is a really great portable keyboard with excellent build quality for a killer price.
