As Wireless As It Gets: Logitech’s Light-Powered Keyboard
With their brand-new Google TV Blu-ray Players as well as much-loved concept remotes, you competence consider Logitech would let their well-established commercial operation in set of keys as well as mice coast the little bit. Instead, they’re entrance out with the brand-new wireless set of keys with the brand-new wireless horse: the object.
Actually, that’s not utterly loyal either. The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 may have solar in its name, though let’s face it: how most typing upon the full-sized set of keys do many of us do in splendid sunlight? Thankfully, “solar” here have been a shorthand for “powered by any light source whatsover,” together with a bare-incandescent tuber in your humid groundwork bureau.
Disclosure: I have a Logitech DiNovo wireless set of keys that I adore — nonetheless I’m unexcited towards its plug-in charging cradle, that always seems to get unplugged when someone else in my residence needs an opening. I also have the solar-powered electronic calculator from facile propagandize which I’ve desired given before puberty. So even yet I have neither seen or used this keyboard, I am predisposed to be enthusiastic about it, in a goal which those solar cells across the tip can keep the keyboard charged at slightest as good as my old solar-powered electronic calculator.
Logitech says that a keyboard “can work for up to three months in sum dark,” and they’re not shipping it with the apart plug-in horse, so they seem flattering confident. They’re additionally shipping the desktop app which helps “measure ambient light in a room, gives at-a-glance report about battery levels, as well as even alerts you when you need some-more power.”
So which covers a wireless charging. For wireless connection to your computer, a K750 doesn’t make use of Bluetooth, though 2.4 gHz wireless, meaning which you’ll need a plug-in USB receiver. I knew it! I knew you’d have to plug something in! Oh, good. For improved connectivity, I theory I’ll take it.
Below, I’ve got a Logitech promotional video, which tauts the super-thin frame, $80 cost as well as a single of a better tech catchphrases I’ve heard in a whilst: “If you’ve got light, you’ve got power.”
