There were cries of "impossible!" over Philips' solar-powered remote last week, and I'm sure even more people will be scratching their heads over Logitech's solar keyboard too—even though it can work for 3 months in total darkness.
The K750 has integrated solar panels, and grabs whatever light it can get while indoors. A solar power app shows you the battery levels and ambient light available, so you always know the vitals of the keyboard.
While it's got that big novelty attraction, it's also wireless (compatible with the Logitech Unifying receiver), and has the company's Incurve keys that are supposedly better-shaped for fingers.
It'll go on sale later this month for $80, but can be pre-ordered now if the thought of missing out on Logitech's first solar-powered keyboard is too much to bear.
nice!
ReplyDeleteI hate to buy always batteries!
It's a nice design and will no-doubt fare really well against the other wireless keyboards. Just make sure the curtains are open, right? Ha!
ReplyDeleteAren't most people in basements with keyboards? lol
ReplyDeleteNice Post
ReplyDeleteThe thing that makes solar power more viable than before is better conversion and storage of solar energy than ever before.
ReplyDeleteMost people don't know that though.
Nice idea! Now I just need to place my keyboard on the windowsill, so it actually is shone on by the sun...
ReplyDeletethats so sick! i want one. lol
ReplyDeleteDamn, that design is so damn nice! If only they'd make a version of the same design with the multimedia buttons for my volume and music, I'd instantly buy it!
ReplyDeleteCool technology :)
ReplyDeletenice, i really want one!!!
ReplyDeleteAs if solar power could be obtained in basements. :P
ReplyDeletesweet, hope they have the solar powered mouse to match it soon
ReplyDeleteStrange, it was kind of difficult to comment on your post. The reply function was not responsive and there was an ad survey instead.
ReplyDeleteActually that is pretty slick. Especially considering wireless keyboards burn through batteries really fast.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting post bro.
ReplyDeletevery nice logitech is my favorite brand :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween to u 2:)
That is SO cool, a must have!
ReplyDeleteSick keyboard i hate replacing batteries
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty neat novelty idea but its really not feasible. If you think about it the only time your keyboard uses any kind of energy is through keystrokes. On batteries it last at least a year for me and all I have to do is plug it in just once to charge.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, what if like me, your usually in front of the computer with no lights on well depending on the time of day and if I'm at work or not lol
ReplyDeletewow that's nice !
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking keyboard!
ReplyDeleteI want this!!
ReplyDeleteomg i want this one
ReplyDeleteGreat! I would love to get this!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what to think about this... Like, is it really necessary? It's not like keyboards drain a lot of battery...
ReplyDeletelooks good and is yet useful.. couldn't get any better
ReplyDeleteThis will be useful during the summer.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome AND useful. But 80$? Not with my poor college ass :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll just stick to my CORDED Logitech Illuminated keyboard.
ReplyDeleteHmm seems good execpt i bet it costs threw the roof.
ReplyDeletesolar power! helpful :)
ReplyDeleteWant :D.
ReplyDeletenow THIS I would buy
ReplyDeleteI type in the dark, this is useless.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant.
ReplyDeletei leave in a basement no sunlight here cant use it
ReplyDeletethat looks like a really nice keyboard, however, the keys they use are a real annoyance because my dad's laptop has the same style and they're just plain annoying >.<
ReplyDeletenice. dear santa...
ReplyDeleteNow if only they made a solar powered mouse... Maybe a cable could run from the keyboard to the mouse in order to power that too?
ReplyDeleteThere's not enough light in my room for this to work.
ReplyDeletegood looking keyboard but i like to sit in the dark :'(
ReplyDeleteNice keyboard! :P
ReplyDeleteThats cool as hell
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely buy one!
F/S! (is back)
