Logitech K750 Wireless Solar Keyboard for Mac — Solar Recharging, Mac-Friendly Keyboard, 2.4GHz Wireless - Silver

Ive had a Logitech wireless keyboard and trackball running on the same unified receiver on my PC for years without any issues at all. When my company issued me a Macbook, I promptly ordered a Logitech wireless trackball for it and Ive used it at the same desk as the PC (within inches of the Logitech keyboard and the other trackball of the same model) for over a year without issue. I recently rearranged my L-shaped workspace to accommodate a second monitor on the Macbook and I decided I liked raising the laptop up to the same height as the big monitor. Problem is, that made the keyboard impractical. Besides, I like having the number pad and I just really hate the feel of the Macbook keyboard. Enter the Logitech wireless keyboard. I was so excited to get this keyboard and as soon as I connected it, I was in LOVE. The size is perfect, the feel of the keys is perfect, its solar powered so the battery will never die...whats not to love? A couple of hours in, the honeymoon was over. I was typing away and suddenly nothing was showing up on the screen...then suddenly huge strings of random characters showed up...then nothing...then partial words and letters all out of order. After using this keyboard for several months, Ive figured out that its ok (mostly) when its on its own receiver. With the keyboard and trackball on separate receivers (taking up two precious USB ports on my hub!) I can go for a week or so without having to unpair the keyboard and re-pair it. With the two devices on the same receiver, I have to unpair/re-pair daily, at least. And, of course, every time Apple or my company pushes some kind of update, the OS randomly decides to connect both devices to the same receiver again. Taking the keyboard alone, Id probably say 4 or 5 stars because its about the only option that had everything I wanted and it really is awesome when its behaving. Im seriously disappointed that it misbehaves so often when used with another Logitech device, especially since I have experience using multiples together without issue so I know thats not supposed to be a thing.

Battery is not replaceable and unable to hold a charge after two years. Update: I bought another one because I like this keyboard a lot. It’s way better than the wireless one that came with my iMac. The second one has worked perfectly for a little over two years now. The first one started acting up after about 18 months, then died 6 months later. This one seems like it might last.

I purchased this keyboard to use with a Mac Mini after pricing some similar offerings from Apple and other manufacturers. I chose this because I was able to free up a USB port by using it in conjunction with a Logitech mouse that shares a unifying receiver. Im usually not a huge fan of wireless keyboards but I guess the solar charging panels made the difference for me, even though it does a little gimmicky. The overall design is nice and it feels pretty similar to the official keyboards being offered, the keys have a slight texture to them which I like, and its not quite as flimsy as some of the extremely cheap Logitech keyboards available. Full number pad and true Apple keyboard layout are somewhat rare in third party keyboards like this, too. Keys are quiet and fairly smooth, pretty similar really to the Apple-branded keyboards. Seems like a decent middle-of-the-road choice, as long as it holds up. One issue is that there seems to be some assembly inconsistencies in the cover over the solar panel area, seems like it was either smashed during shipping somewhat or the top layer of the keyboard is a little bit off or warped (see photo). Its not a huge deal for me, as it just seems to be a cosmetic issue, but probably cost this a five-star review.
