I have a logitech keyboard/mouse combo... As instructed, for the mouse I use rechargeables, but for the keyboard I use alkalines. Works fine for me because I've had it for months and not needed to change the keyboard batteries, but I recharge the mouse at least weekly- I believe you are not supposed to use rechargeables with components that were not designed for them because of the voltage difference. An NiMH battery is 1.2V and an alkaline is 1.5V. With the 5 batteries that are in my keyboard, that adds up to 1.5V difference.
