Packing enough green credentials to make Swampy come out of his tunnel is Logitech’s new Wireless Solar Keyboard K750.
With a strip of integrated solar panels above the keys, the K750 is powered by light but can work in total darkness for up to three months, with its PVC-free construction and fully recyclable packaging taking its environmental footprint in the right direction.
“The keyboard is still the best input device for typing emails and IMs, updating your Facebook page or posting responses to your favorite blogs – and the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 is the next big innovation in keyboard technology,” insisted Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech’s keyboards and desktops.
An integrated power-indicator lights shows you the battery levels and ambient light available, and the wireless keyboard is compatible with the Logitech Unifying receiver.
The keyboard’s a mere slither of a thing at 1/3″ thick and looks rather dandy to our eyes.
The K750 goes on sale later this month for $80/€79 (UK pricing to be announced).
