Logitech unveils wireless solar keyboard, the K750

Brilliant piece of hardware.
Can't wait to buy it and ditch my current wireless keyboard (also Logitech).

But the solar mouse, guys, come on, show us the solar mouse!

Indeed nice piece of hardware but 80 $ for a keyboard it's way to much. Plus, who keeps a keyboard for 15 years? I think I changed 3 keyboards in 9 years.

The post states that it is "the solar Power" but I think the hardware keep advance to the next generation too early. What I am worried: How long Solar panel will keep hot ? Is it too hot to touching the panel by accident ?

I think they have to reconsider to test 1 or 2 years to finalize it because this keyboard is advanced technology after all.

I had an old Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse pair, and they were constantly eating away at batteries. The keyboard died after about two years, but the mouse is still functional, albeit at the cost of 2 AAs a month. This keyboard is a pretty cool idea, and a mouse version would be a must have, although it will be difficult seeing as how the mouse is always covered by a hand.

soon we'll have everything solar powered. at 80$ it isn't that expensive but they can do better.

This keyboard has to suck for gaming in the dark , but the idea is great! 80$ seems a little expensive for something that could be easily replaced though.

well keyboards uses very little power, one of my wireless keyboards still feeding on the pair AA batteries for over 1.5 yr now. what im interested is when will cell phone get integrated solar charging option and also charges itself when statics from the human hands passes through the phone. would love to have something like that right now

lol... I JUST bought the Logitech K800, the wireless backlit keyboard. Sure the battery might not last very long considering it has a backlight (I haven't drained it yet), but it recharges with a microUSB plug (like the Logitech Performance Mouse MX) and the batteries are replaceable if you so wish, so its very easy to charge. While the thought of having a solar powered keyboard is intriguing and that thing is THIN~, I'll continue testing out my K800 (so far I really, REALLY like it).

Pretty cool... this should of been done long ago though. I must say i'm surprised with all the recent "green movement" crap floating around this doesn't have green stickers all over it to capture the attention of eco-mentalists. Regardless I genuinely think it is a good idea.Let's get some LED backlighting into this and then we're really talkin'.

I'm a gamer and I game in the dark. I dont believe solar panels can use the light from monitors to charge the batteries.. the (guessing) unreplaceable battiers would be dead rendering this keyboard useless. I have a very nice Logitech keyboard and Logitech mouse that I am very satisfied with. The mouse has two chargable batteries, and charge dock, so charge and swap. I dont doubt this product would be wonderful for some people. Heck, maybe I'll start playing in the light soon.

What a joke.. My question is who is going to use this keyboard under sun light? my monitor doesnt allow me to use it outside my flat.

It's 80 bucks? I'd rather spend 10 dollars on a simple keyboard that doesn't require another source of light to power it. What if you play in a room without natural light -_-

cool , but unnecessary since current wireless keyboards last like 6 months or more on battery's anyway..

But how many people have their computers next to a window with all that glare coming in?

relying on the power of the sun? you mean like... superman? indeed painfully cheesy

Just as a reminder, the keyboard doesn't need JUST sunlight. It can charge from any continuous light source, as long as it is strong enough (it doesn't take much actually to be "Strong enough"); I have a watch the very same way.

It could charge buy itself using the light of your screen

Looks cool! It's about time Logitech got more environmentally friendly, if the price is right (down here in aus), I could be buying this keyboard.
