    Since you mentioned batteries I'll assume your keyboard & mouse are wireless.
    1. Try plugging the base into a different USB port
    2. Ask a friend if they have the same make keyboard/mouse and test them on your base, if that doesn't work then your base is pooched.
    3. Get someone else's base and test your keyboard/mouse on it

    The base for the keyboard/mouse plugs into the back of your computer tower, usually into the green and purple ports, or into a USB port. It should be fairly small, have indicator lights (some don't) and have a 'connect' button.

    Once you've located your base, press the connect button on it, then press the connect button on the bottom of your keyboard. Then do the same thing again, press the connect button on the base, then press it on your mouse. See if it works.

    Did you ever spill anything, or thought someone spilled any liquid of sorts on the keyboard? Did you change the batteries to known good ones?

    Try using in a different Computer. If it works that will make you sure that your Keybord is fine.
