Logitech MK710 Keyboard Boasts Three-Year Battery Life

By Dena Cassella Published February 10, 2010

Logitech’s new wireless desktop MK710 mouse-and-keyboard combo has some drool-worthy features—but we’re going to have to say the best part about the MK710 is its three-year battery life. You heard us: This keyboard combo sports a three-year long battery life, supported by Logitech’s 2.4 GHz wireless technology. The company says the MK710 conserves power and reserves battery life when not in use, prolonging the actual life to about three-years. The MK710 also features “incurve keys” that fit your fingertips, a sculpted mouse with zippy scrolling, and easy to reach customizable buttons.

“No one thinks about changing batteries until they have to, but when that time comes, it can stop you in your tracks,” said Rory Dooley, Logitech’s senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. “With its industry-first three-year battery life for a combo, you might just forget the Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 uses batteries at all.”

South Korea wants to give every citizen free access to an AI chatbot with no usage limits. That puts the technology closer to a public utility than another premium service demanding a monthly subscription.

The Ministry of Science and ICT announced the AI for Everyone project on July 13. Private companies will build the platform around locally developed models, while a separate AI agent will help people navigate government services. It’s a more practical job than generating emails or settling arguments nobody wanted to research themselves.

Russian state-backed hackers have spent more than a decade exploiting a stubborn weakness in critical infrastructure networks. Organizations are still leaving poorly configured and outdated routers exposed to the internet.

In a joint cybersecurity advisory, the NSA, CISA, FBI, and international partners warn that hackers linked to Center 16 of Russia’s Federal Security Service are continuing to target vulnerable networking equipment. Energy, healthcare, and government networks are among the sectors facing the highest risk.
