How Do You Charge a Logitech Wireless Keyboard?

Use the charging cable included with your keyboard. Plug the small end into the charging port on the back of the device, then plug the other end into the charger or your computer. If you don't have the original charger, you can use any micro-USB connector.

While most Logitech keyboards have a built-in battery, some models, like the Logitech K800, use replaceable AA or AAA batteries. Look for a removable plate on the bottom of the keyboard to find and replace the batteries.
