I can enthusiastically suggest that almost anyone with compatible hardware will be delighted to find this green device under the tree on the 25th. The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 lists for £69.99 in the UK, 79 Euros elsewhere in Europe, and can currently be ordered on Logitech's web site (opens in new tab), shipping just in time for Christmas.

I found that the K750 works just fine with Mac OS X, although one has to make the adjustment to Windows configuration key mapping and labeling.Ī free, dedicated solar power monitoring and management application can be downloaded from Logitech's support site (opens in new tab), and features a lux meter to help you assess whether it's getting the necessary light, and making it easy to get at-a-glance information about battery levels, and even alerting you when you need more power. Initially, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 is supported only for Windows 7, Vista, and XP, although a Mac version is rumoured to be in the works (unconfirmed by Logitech at this point). Thanks to there being no necessity to accommodate a battery compartment (other than for the ML2032 button-cell rechargeable backup battery), the K750 measures a razor-like 1/3 inch (7.5 mm) thick in section, and the 'board is completely untethered with no no power bricks or charging cables holding it back. I had no problem getting the test unit to connect, basically just a matter of inserting the USB receiver dongle in a USB port and turning on the keyboard's power switch, and it's been flawless since. The low-profile Unifying receiver module (which can support up to five other compatible Logitech devices) is tiny enough that it should be able to remain in situ in a laptop's USB port when transported in a computer case or backpack. Logitech's 2.4 GHz wireless technology also includes 128-bit AES encryption - one of the highest levels of security available. Even indoor light can power this lightweight keyboard. I know from experience with other Logitech devices fulfils the claim of having virtually no latency delays or dropouts, so you get essentially the solid response benefits of a corded keyboard, with the convenience of wireless. This Logitech keyboard shines a new light on wireless keyboards thanks to its solar-powered design. This attractive, elegant keyboard in glossy piano black livery connects to your computer wirelessly via Logitech's proprietary version of 2.4 GHz RF technology through a USB receiver dongle. I think this is a keyboard Glenn Gould would probably have approved of.

The keys have an exceptionally short, smooth and positive action with a comfortable soft landing that I find helps me type faster than usual (I need all the help I can get there) and it feels great doing it. The K750's quiet, chiclet-style "InCurve" keys have a concave design that supports the shape of your fingertips while helping guide your fingers to the right keys, and soft, rounded edges that make it easy for your fingers to glide from key to key.
