Logitech Announces K750 Light-Powered Wireless Keyboard
Today, Logitech introduced the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 - the company's first light-powered keyboard. The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard powers itself whenever there's light, even indoors, making battery hassles a thing of the past.
"The keyboard is still the best input device for typing emails and IMs, updating your Facebook page or posting responses to your favorite blogs - and the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 is the next big innovation in keyboard technology," said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech's keyboards and desktops. "The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard is powered by light but can work in total darkness for up to three months. Plus, with its PVC-free construction and fully recyclable packaging, it's designed to minimize its footprint."
Powered by Light - Even Indoors
To give you hassle-free convenience, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard powers itself through its integrated solar panel - no power bricks or charging cables needed.
The included solar power app features a lux meter to help you get the necessary light, makes it easy to get at-a-glance information about battery levels, and even alerts you when you need more power.
Logitech's first solar keyboard can be powered by indoor light and stays charged for at least three months in total darkness. Plus an integrated power-indicator light eliminates surprises.
Only 1/3-Inch Thick
But Logitech did much more than bring solar power to the keyboard. At only 1/3-inch thick, the sleek Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard looks good. With its rounded edges and thin profile, this stylish, streamlined keyboard is a joy to hold and behold.
Feel-Good Typing
The low-profile keyboard features Logitech Incurve keys. Using a concave design, Incurve keys support the shape of your fingertips, while helping guide your fingers to the right keys. In addition, the soft, rounded edges make it easy for your fingers to glide from key to key.
Powerful, Reliable Wireless Connection with Logitech Unifying Technology
The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 offers Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, keeping you connected with virtually no delays or dropouts, so you get all the benefits of a cord, with the convenience of wireless. Logitech Advanced 2.4 wireless also includes 128-bit AES encryption with the keyboard - one of the highest levels of security available.
Plus, the tiny Logitech Unifying receiver is small enough to stay in your laptop, so there's no need to unplug it when you move around. And you can easily add up to six Logitech Unifying and Unifying-ready mice and keyboards - without the hassle of multiple USB receivers.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in November 2010 for a suggested retail price of $79.99 (U.S.). To learn more about the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 please visit or our blog for more information.

"stays charged for at least three months in total darkness."
Just read that bit........
What sort of light gives it a 3 month charge? Nuclear detonation?
One idea came in my mind for Logitech guys, why not bundle this keyboard with a self powered mouse, which can collect power by the mouse movement. Same as many watches get power from wrist movement.
Just shake the mouse few times while pc boots up and you are ready to go...
Hope this idea can help save energy.

India.
its more like 3 weeks when used 8 hours a day
Although yes it does not really matter, as long as it runs for a few hours in the dark (gaming in the dark?) that's all that really matters.
can techpowerup test for us this product when have been launch next month ?
EDIT: Found it. It was the MX700. Maybe wasn't top tier. At the time I bought it I thought it was expensive though.
But this keyboard looks pretty neat anywho. Might pick it up.
I really hope TPU can get one of these for review.
But I guess it would be 4months use with the very low ambient light, or based on Mussels' post 4 weeks until it runs out of juice :)
I'f the battery can hold out in the dark as long as my dinovo mini, I'll be thororly impressed.
I mean, seriously. It is awful. So awful as to be embarrassing. Logitech should not have let that out into the PR channels.
Really it is an A+ idea. But how well its been implemented has me curious. Solar tech even on huge panels can be easily affected by just covering a single cell. Sometimes they just switch themselves completely off. Its not what you think. Covering part usually doesn't mean the rest will keep functioning. Depending on where the cell strip is, might be having to angle lights or positions to keep it charging.
Then of course theres the users like me who don't run with lights on to save power. I'd have this thing drained. Even if I wasn't saving power, I'm kinda used to lower lighting. No way I'd have lights on to charge it. Was irritated when my sister came to visit a couple years ago cause she couldn't stand the low lighting and I had to have every light on in the place. Crazy Minnesotans :D.
