Logitech Introduces Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac
Logitech brings the power of light to Mac users with the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac. With the same award-winning design and feature set as the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750, this newest version - available in multiple colors - makes battery hassles a thing of the past thanks to its onboard solar cells that power the keyboard using ambient light.
"We hear from consumers all the time that they want to see more Mac products from us," said Rory Dooley, Logitech senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. "I'm proud to say we've listened, and are excited to offer one of our most innovative keyboards designed specifically for Mac users."
Available in five colors - four exclusively for Mac users - the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac is powered by light - even indoors. It powers itself with ambient light in the room - there's no need for direct sunlight - so you'll never have to hassle with changing batteries. And on a full charge it can work for up to three months in total darkness. Plus, you can download the solar power app that gives you at-a-glance information about battery levels, and even alerts you when you need more light.
With its PVC-free construction and fully recyclable box, this keyboard is designed to help minimize its environmental footprint. A full-size wireless keyboard, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac includes a number pad and features a layout designed for Mac users, so everything is where you expect it to be. Combining the best of traditional keyboards and laptops with a Logitech-only concave key-cap design, the keyboard lets you enjoy faster, quieter, feel-good typing - hour after hour. With sleek lines and a thin profile, this stylish, streamlined keyboard adds style to your workspace-whether you've got a laptop or desktop.
The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac comes with advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity to virtually eliminate delays or dropouts, and a plug-and-forget Unifying receiver that is so small it stays in your laptop, so your keyboard is always ready to use.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in August, for a suggested retail price of $59.99 (U.S.)

nice stuff....
I was unfortunate enough to go through the same thing a few years back with a PB G4 17" 1.5ghz ati1600 and look at me know, there is life after Mac.
Mac's used to be good, Apple's well what you see is what you get today.
It is really sad when your 60 year old mother that is computer illiterate has to teach the 3rd / top level Apple tech support person how to fix something. :nutkick:
How many Mac users does it take to screw in a light bulb?
1 to look to see if there is an app for it.
1 to call Applecare
1 tech support agent to escalate it to tier 2 support
then finally 1 disgruntled tier 2 support agent to say "I'm sorry but Apple does not support removing the existing lightbulb to install a new lightbulb unless done by a certified Apple technician."
Also back to topic please.
actually my previous housemate had one of these keyboards, and the light from his monitor did provide a minimal recharging level so that it never went flat. it'd charge back to full in the light, but monitor/room lights prevented it going flat in the first palce.
(he has the PC version, ofc)
I'm not a PC weenie that has never used Macs. My anger at Apple is more justified. I'd rather have the Apple of a decade ago back, the one which seemed to give a damn about their customers. Not the gadget maker monstrosity that Jobs has created.Partial truth but mostly satire. Took me a few mins to think of a tier 2 support answer for that tho. I finally remembered an answer I got from Apple when I was asking a question on my Beige regarding upgrades.
Sadly, I've found more bonehead Mac users nowadays than ever. Every Mac user I knew years ago was always in the know or at least knew more than basic use. Now, its like a flood of people that are impressed by shiny objects. The iPod/iPhone generation. Such a shame they killed MacAddict Magazine. Used to be a real tech mag years back. Lot of great hacking tips and mods. Then goofy stuff like the staff taking a PC and beating it with a baseball bat till their knuckles bled. Then it became MacLife and got...boring. Issue after issue dedicated to iPods or pointless crap.
