Logitech K750 Wireless Solar Keyboard for Windows Solar Recharging Keyboard 2.4GHz Wireless - Black

First off, I really like the way this keyboard feels, and when it works, its awesome. Unlike others, I have had no issues with battery life; its at 98% right now after using it all day today. However, I currently have a K750 which is a replacement for a previous K750 I had, which also eventually had the problem that caused me to replace it with this current one. The problem is that sometimes, the keyboard will just... stop sending keystrokes to the computer. Or itll delay sending them for a second or two or five. Or itll double-up on a single keypress. Or triple-up. Or itll duplicate a series of keystrokes. -- begin demmonstrationin of the problem -- If yoou type a lot, having to constantly go back and edit things youu typed correctly but that the kkeyboard sent iincorrectly to the computer is aggravating beyond all rrecokoning. This lasstt section heere was typed without ccorrecting the wooords after the fact - Ive just left the text as the keyboard sent it too the computer (after typing everything carefull y and correctly, though quickly). If your keyboard did thhiss to you, would you give? (that should read give it more than one star, but the keyboard didnt transmit the part after give to the computer so I had to retype it here so youd understand what I was trying to say and that Im not a complete lunatic) (good times)

If I had written this review two years ago this would have been 5 stars. Great feel, very similar to my Microsoft equivalent and to top it off solar powered. Thats where I was wrong! As many others are slowly discovering this is a disposable keyboard, that is to say after 2-3 years its very likely your battery which holds the solar charge dies. That battery is not user replicable so you are left with a useless lump of shiny plastic destined for landfill! This isn’t even touching on the environmental ethics of making such a product which would otherwise last many many years, disposable. Makes good business sense from Logiech’s point of view, but not so much from mine as a consumer. After many weeks of arguing with Logitech and them refusing to replace it or repair it, I tried to change the battery myself. Even if you can find the correct type of battery, the keyboard wont then bind with the computer after replacement. So, in the bin it goes!!! With Logitechs stance on the battery issue, I can in no way recommend this product and I will (partly out of spite, and partly due to poor product design and customer service) not be buying another Logitech keyboard. A keyboard at this price is not a product that should need to be replaced every 2-3 years!!

This has to be one of the worst ideas ever. While there are people trying to save the planet by going green, Logitech decides to bet the life of this keyboard on the battery inside. once the battery goes bad -which in some cases that happens as soon as a couple of months, you have to throw it out. Ive gone through 3 of these in the last couple of years, although two were replaced by either Amazon or Logitech. The last one just died and apparently its out of warranty so it cannot be replaced. I placed an order for a couple of rechargeable batteries from Amazon, it seemed like the battery started to charge on both cases, then the power reserve started to drop before it reached 100% even with more than enough light (yes, there was a happy face on the software) Anyway, as I said before, in the last couple of years I ended up throwing away 3 of these plus five batteries. Not great for the planet is it? This would be a great keyboard if you could replace the batteries on it and still have it work.

Let me start by saying that I really liked this keyboard for a year+. Very nice tactile key feel, responsive and very little problem with lag or connectivity. If i ever had a problem with connectivity a Windows restart would almost certainly fix it. The problem is that it is a VERY nice keyboard with a VERY VERY VERY SHORT LIFE SPAN. This lasted me a little over a year and then as others have noted the battery would not hold a charge any longer so i started looking for a solution. I purchased a rechargeable battery from batteries plus thinking that that would solve my issue. The battery door on the keyboard is not made to be opened for easy replacement but I didnt destroy the keyboard or ding it up too badly to get the compartment open and the replacement battery with matching numbers slipped right in and appeared to charge. I thought that would be all that would be needed but the new replacement battery would not take a charge and was not consistent with the charging any longer. So a little after a year I had to throw out a mechanically working very nice keyboard. Disappointed in Logitech for creating this "solar" keyboard that will last 1/10 of what my wired keyboard at home has lasted.

I bought one January 15, 2016. It has the old Logitech logo on it. It is a 5Star perfect keyboard. I bought another one for my home on May 17, 2017. It has the new Logitech Logo on it. The left CTRL key was rubbing against the cover, and not depressing or sticking down if it was jammed to depress. I returned it thinking it a one-off dud. Amazon sent a replacement. The replace came in. Same problem with the left CTRL key, but not as severe. It clacks loudly when I press it while the other keys are quiet. This problem with the newer models takes this from a perfect 5Star keyboard to a sub-par 3Star keyboard because of the force required to depress the CTRL key and the loud noise it makes and the looseness of this one key. Its a shame really. After months of using it, this keyboard has proven a complete waste of money because some keys still stick or fail to press. Potential 5 star, perfect keyboard is now useless and purchase of this keyboard should be avoided.
