Logitech’s Solar-Powered Keyboard Means You’ll Never Buy Another Battery Again [Keyboards]

There were cries of ” impossible!” over Philips’ solar-powered remote last week , and I’m sure even more people shall be scratching their heads over Logitech’s solar keyboard too-in spite of the fact that it should work for 3 months in total darkness.

The K750 has integrated solar panels, and grabs whatever light it may get while indoors. A solar power app shows you the battery levels and ambient light available, so you usually know the vitals of the keyboard.

While it’s got that giant novelty attraction, it’s also wireless (compatible with the Logitech Unifying receiver), and has the company’s Incurve keys which can be supposedly better-shaped for fingers.

It’ll go on sale later this month for $80, but could be pre-ordered now if the concept of missing out on Logitech’s first solar-powered keyboard is simply too much to bear. [ Logitech ]
