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

I love and loathe this product, all at the same time. This is a long one, but hopefully the points make sense. LOVE: 1. The speed at which I can type on it. 2. How responsive the keys are. 3. How flat the keys are and the overall size of the keyboard. 4. The fact that it is wireless and "solar." 5. How light but well-built the keyboard feels. 6. The very minimal design as I dont need an extra dozen or so "gamer" or programmable keys. 7. The Solar App is clean, informative, and necessary to understand if youre maximizing the recharge capability of your keyboard. LOATHE: 1. The battery usually lasts 2-ish years, then the keyboard becomes a doorstop as you cannot replace the battery. 2. "Solar" in function only. It requires a fairly strong light source to compensate for consistent use. 3. The "stays charged for 3 months in total darkness" is great and all as a marketing tactic, but who leaves their keyboard untouched for months on end? This leads you to believe the keyboard will retain a charge while being used and it really doesnt. If youre a gamer or use the keyboard for a heavy word processing type of job, you need to have a strong light source on the keyboard or it will be depleted within 36 hours. That said, the Solar App specifically states that with a 100% charge, "Your current reserve lets you use your keyboard in total darkness for three months-so you can type all you want." Thats a rather bold lie unless you use the keyboard only a few minutes a day over that three month period. 4. I literally use the LED flashlight on the back of an old cell phone and prop it up a few inches above the keyboard in order to provide enough light to keep a solid charge through heavy use. I dont see how ambient light from outdoors (or especially off even a very large monitor) could possibly recharge the keyboard, unless its sitting right next to a window. 5. There is no indicator that you have Caps Lock enabled. I often find myself typing in a "bad password" and its because Caps Lock is on and I didnt realize it. Given there is an app that shows you the charge, there should be an overlay function or light on the keyboard to notify you. 6. Very often, the charge % is wrong. Just now, it says my keyboard is at 82%. However, if I repeatedly tap on the light button that calls up the Solar App, it will very gradually (over 20 or so taps) raise the charge 1% at a time until it finally stops increasing. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 1. If you prefer a keyboard that has a wrist rest, this isnt for you. 2. If you prefer a keyboard that has a solid angle to it, this probably isnt for you. While there are two "feet" that can pop up the keyboard, theyre very slender and dont offer a ton of stability, especially if you have a firm keystroke. TLDR: Bottom line -- the minimal keyboard does a fantastic job at being a keyboard, but the solar recharge will require a stronger light source than expected. Also, while a corded keyboard may last longer, I really havent found anything that can compare with how this solar keyboard feels when in use.

I bought this keyboard ~10 years ago when it first launched. I never regretted for a moment. Unfortunately I had it in my backpack one day and one of the keys broke off. So recently I ordered a new one. The new one had the number pad enter key break during normal use within a couple days (product was used bare in mind). I attempted to transfer the working keycap from one keyboard to other realizing I had 2 functional keyboard, each missing a key, neither of which were the same. I COULD NOT any key other than the standard alphabetic keys to come off without breaking something. Despite having essentially a doner keyboard to mess around with, I still could not get the Enter key or ESC keys to transfer properly. With all that said, I still recommend this keyboard of anything Ive ever used, it is just such a nice keyboard to type on.

Things I really like about this keyboard: --The keys have great feel. Its like typing on a nice laptop keyboard. --Theres no built-in wrist rest so I can use my own gel wrist pad which I prefer. --Its light. --The keys arent too close together like on some other wireless keyboards. Things I dont like: --There seems to be some quality control issues with this model. The first two I received from Amazon were defective. On one of them the "U" key was partially detached, and on the other the control key didnt work. But they replaced the keyboard both times and the third one works perfectly. --The two little extendable feet which hold up the keyboard in the back feel REALLY flimsy and Im worried theyll snap off at some point. This is a great choice if youre looking for a wireless keyboard that has a nice feel, but is also light and doesnt take up an inordinate amount of space. Re: the solar power feature, I use it in a room with normal lighting and I never have a problem with the power.
