Logitech includes a tiny Solar App that you can install in a matter seconds after plugging in the Unifying receiver.

(Kidding, we actually got full power about three feet from a window with fluorescent overhead lights at our Portland office.) Unless you’re living in a basement, cave, or Portland, the K750 should never leave you hanging. Unlike your typical solar calculator, which turns useless the moment the lights go down, the K750 has a robust internal battery that will keep it plugging away for up to three months after the last sun exposure. Tapping the sun as you tap keys turns out to be, well, not that different from typing on a battery-powered keyboard. It uses Logitech’s Unifying 2.4GHz platform, which basically means you just plug in a nano-sized USB receiver and it works - with Windows, anyway.

Unlike a Bluetooth keyboard, the K750 requires no dabbling with Windows settings, PIN codes or any other tomfoolery. A power switch on the same panel makes it easy enough to turn off if you’re not using it, but in our experience, there was never any need to. Pressing a lamp button lights up an LED indicator next either a smiling or frowning face to indicate whether battery life is good or on its way out.

The most unusual addition is a “Check Light” above the number pad. A function key below the question mark key in the lower right provides access to an array of shortcuts on the upper F keys, including search, calculator, media controls, volume, and power off. Logitech keeps the key arrangement on the K750 pretty typical. Though they look flimsy, the K750 actually feels very firm and “planted” on a desk, without the rattle that cheap keyboards sometimes have as they bounce away beneath your fingers. Two folding legs in the back boost the keyboard about an inch off the desk to give it a more comfortable slope. Long story short: It looks more mature.Īt only ⅓ of an inch thick, the K750 makes even previously slim keyboards like the DiNovo Edge look, well, a little plump. The tightly packed keys of the 10-inch Revue keyboard spread out to fill 16 inches on the K750 including a number pad, the keys take on a more angular look, and instead of an oversized Playskool font, the K750 uses a clean, corporate-looking sans serif.

We weren’t huge fans of the Revue’s keyboard, but fortunately, the K750 is more like a cousin than a brother. The glossy black top and white trim around the edges make it an obvious relative of the humble Revue keyboard.

The look is largely a matter of taste, but as we’ll get to below, the feel can be quite different.Īs for the rest of the keyboard, anyone acquainted with Logitech’s Revue (the Google TV set-top box) will immediately recognize the K750. Rather than being arranged in a “tray,” the keys pop out of a flush piece of plastic that runs all around them, with squared-off edges like Scrabble tiles instead of the traditional taper. The bigger news here, from a design standpoint, is Logitech’s transition to the Chiclet style of keys, formerly a space-saving style reserved for notebooks (think MacBooks and Sony Vaios). Surrounded by black and situated under a seamless, glossy layer of plastic, they stand out less than you might imagine, but provide all the power the keyboard needs.

DesignĪt first glace, some users might not even give second thought to the inch tall strips of solar cells above the keys on the K750. Like calculators and watches, Logitech’s K750 proves that wireless keyboards make ideal candidates for solar-panel transplants, giving users both convenience and a clear conscience. Until about the third time you have to replace or recharge the batteries in your wireless keyboard, and realize a solar panel would eliminate that need forever. When you have companies slapping solar cells on everything from cell phones to backpacks so they can tie on recycled-cardboard tags with hemp cord, call them green, and charge twice the price, it’s easy to get jaded and dismiss solar gadgets as gimmicks.
