Logitech Releases K750 Solar Keyboard: Look Ma, No Batteries
November 1st, 2010
Well, it took a while, but Logitech finally released a wireless keyboard that doesn’t need any batteries. What does it need to charge up? The sun! I think that it’s a great idea.
The Logitech K750 will sell for $79.99 (USD) and is completely built out of recyclable plastic. Solar panels are placed along the top edge of the keyboard to keep things juiced. They even include a luxmeter to tell you how well the panels are charging up.
It not only charges in sunlight, but also works underneath artificial lighting, like a lightbulb. I’ve been using Logitech keyboards for years and have never had any major problems. I’m about due for a new one, and haven’t yet decided which one to get, but this one looks pretty cool.

But.. If you’re geeky enough to buy this, you’re probably located in a dark basement?
Get yourself a halide desk lamp & you’re good! Oh, and I will definitely buy one of these for my next keyboard. go solar!
Take a look at the 2 images, look at the enter key. 2 different size. The video at 00:49 seems to confirm the 1st image?
Good eye, Deon. I’d go with what you see in the video, since that’s an actual product, and the other image was probably a publicity still from an earlier build.
Yep, I’d go for the one in the video. That’s the real one. As Technabob mentioned, the other one is probably a render or a publicity shot of some kind.

The wireless solar keyboard Κ750 from Logitech is a very important ecological innovation showing a likely future trend. Its ergonomic design and its small thickness are also two important features.
It supports all the known Windows versions (XP, VISTA, 7).
Obviously, it does’nt support Bluetooth technology.
Is operation is based on a small rechargable battery which is included in the keyboard and charged through the solar panels of the keyboard, even with an internal room or desk light.
We look forward to seeing similar products from other companies, as well as its price fall!
