Logitech announce solar powered keyboard – preorder now

Hands up if you are sick replacing the batteries in your mouse and keyboard? Well Logitech might just have the answer to your prayers in the shape of their new Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 which is powered completely by the sun and will work indoors.

The keyboard gets enough power to charge the battery for night time action. Over a period of time the battery will charge to support total darkness for up to three months, which is a fantastic talking point – a little like the kinetic powered watches.

Logitech are supplying software with the keyboard to ensure that you can see the current charge and interestingly there is also a lux meter to inform the user of how much light is hitting the panels.

The keyboard is an attractive slim line design (7.5mm) which looks similar to a few Logitech keyboards already on the market, with support for media functionality and unifying USB wireless technology.

Pricing is £69.99 in the UK and it will be available January 2011 – pre orders are open already at the Logitech webstore.
