Most wireless Mice (mouses?) use AA batteries, most Keyboards AAA.

I've never seen one (that uses replaceable batteries) not use AA or AAA.

I have seen a few that use CR2032 or similar

You should be able to tell by touch.

An AAA battery feels about the same width as a pinky finger. An AA battery feels about the same width as an index finger.

If you bought a PC or AIO computer that came with a wireless mouse and keyboard, then go to your supplier or manufacturer's website and look up the specs and manual for your computer.

Hopefully, you may find details on the battery for your mouse and keyboard and how to replace them.

A lot of us who have offered help would like to hear what the solution was.

Also maybe put a label on the base of the keyboard with the battery size required for next time a battery is required.

Maybe the OP will remain incommunicardo until a battery solution is found 😀

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.
