Logitech K750 Wireless Solar Keyboard low battery life is a thing of the past What is it? Just another excuse to go wire-free and not have to worry about battery life, ever. This is Logitech\'s wireless, solar keyboard called the K750.

What\'s special about it?

Anyone who\'s used wireless keyboards will know what a pain in the backside constant battery drains can be. So, for obvious reasons, the K750\'s star quality will have to be its solar charging — and we\'re not just talking sunlight here. This beauty, with two sensitive solar strips on top, will even power itself using artificial light. So long as enough light falls on it, the battery should always be charged and never need replacing. Now wouldn\'t you like that?
Besides, the keyboard is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems — although I might have to add that it does seem to be more fine-tuned for Windows computers.
And for those particular about how devices look, this one\'s sleek and thin with minimal fuss.

What else is cool about it?

For Windows user, a watch-style timer called the Solar App comes pre-installed. This displays light levels and the life of your keyboard. It will tell you where the meter has to stay to continue usage and whether or not your present light levels are enough. A small on/off button lets you turn it off while not in use so you conserve all that collected power, er, light.
For those looking to type in the dark, though, the keyboard is not illuminated — for obvious reasons. Two little standard pop-up stands help you adjust height when typing on a flat surface.

So what\'s the damage?

The Logitech K750 is available at leading electronics retailers in the UAE for Dh420.
