A rechargeable (via USB) wireless keyboard with an attached wired mouse.
No batteries in the mouse to run flat. Plenty of space in the keyboard case for a big Li-ion battery. The mouse is small and lightweight.
Does not seem to exist.
Something maybe better...

The most still has a wire though. That's annoying.
Keyboards I don't mind if they have a wire, since they
move around maybe 2 inches in a typical week. Also,
I have a wireless mouse. It has 2 AA batteries (more
correctly 1 battery consisting of 2 AA alkaline cells)
that have so far lasted a year. It is noticeably heavier
than a regular mouse. I don't mind this. Actually,
some gaming mice come with lead weights to
personalize the mouse. If light weight is needed,

It's possible doable without being a commercial product. Starting with a rechargeable,wireless keyboard, a r,w mouse and a USB cable : |
|
| |
1) remove battery from mouse |
|
| |
2) plug usb cable from keyboard to mouse. |
|
| |
Or, you could use the same setup, but have a powered, induction mousepad, which would save having to recharge anything. |

I had a Microsoft wireless mouse. It has slots or 2 AA
batteries, but I found that it worked just fine with only one.
That made it a much more comfortable weight. I have no
idea if any other models will do that. |

Maybe they think "If it's wired sometimes why not
leave it wired all the time?" to which I would say
"Can't you say that about anything that's
rechargeable?" |
