[Hardware] Why don't manufacturers indicate the autonomy of their wireless keyboards and mice?

[[Ty]M@g0k1l3r]

Wireless peripherals have increased in supply and also in popularity among users. There are solutions on the market for all tastes and also for all budgets. But for some time now we have detected that the manufacturers of wireless keyboards, headphones and mice hide the estimated autonomy of these, why?

Having a wireless keyboard, mouse and/or headphones has its advantages, such as eliminating cables or having more freedom of movement. Like everything, it has its cons, as there is usually a bit more latency than on one of these wired peripherals. But more and more we find information that is hidden in the product specifications.

I want to know the autonomy, not other irrelevant data
Every day we search major stores for product deals so you could save money. This also helps us to recommend interesting products and also to indicate products that may not be interesting. More and more we find ourselves with incomplete product specifications, an unacceptable bad practice.

 

 

Some manufacturers of entry-level wireless keyboards, mice and headphones hide a fundamental fact: autonomy. Said information is not on the manufacturer's website, which makes it impossible to know, before buying the product, how long we will have to use it.

If these manufacturers gave other parameters, we could get it quite accurately. Knowing the current (A), the voltage (V) of the battery and its capacity (Wh), we could know the autonomy. In the end, the consumption (W) is nothing more than multiplying the current (A) by the voltage (V), a very simple operation. Then, we just have to divide the capacity (Wh) of the battery by the consumption (W) and we know the autonomy time.

The problem is that these manufacturers give us the current and voltage, but not the capacity of the battery (watt-hours or Wh). Of course, without the capacity of the battery, that you give me the other data is worthless to me.

When the manufacturer hides autonomy in the tab on his website, it leads me to think badly. The first thing that occurs to me is that it is a product with poor autonomy and, therefore, of poor quality. This is more bloody when if you look at low-end Bluetooth headphones this information is displayed and quite detailed (another thing is that it is real)
