Try a different search engine?   :-)

Seriously;  I've not come across any bluetooth keyboard/mouse combos
that allow for a USB connection to recharge the batteries.  It seems to
me to be contrary to reason for going wireless.  Not that I'm saying
such things don't exist.

IME, alkaline batteries last for ages in the keyboard, (less so the
mouse); even those that won't run some other, more power hungry, items.

I use alkaline batteries first in my digital camera, then in my hand
held GPS and finally, they get used in the mouse, keyboard or any of the
plethora of TV, satellite, audio, etc. remote controls we have(1).  When
they won't run those any more, they go for recycling.

(1) Where size allows, as the camera uses AAs, but several of the
remotes use AAAs.
