Light-Powered Typing With Logitech’s New Solar Keyboard for Mac, iPad and iPhone

Logitech has announced an expansion of its solar powered keyboard lines with the new Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 for Mac, iPad or iPhone. A continuation of Logitech’s solar series, which started with the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 and has continued with the Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio for iPad, this new keyboard adds Bluetooth connectivity with an easy-switching capability. It allows you to simultaneously pair multiple devices and quickly switch among them with the push of a button.

I’ve been using a Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 as my main workstation keyboard for the past 10 months and I can’t say enough good about it. It’s comfortable, quiet, looks spectacular, and hasn’t missed a beat. Presumably there’s ample light in my office to keep it fully charged, because that’s the reading I always get when I check using the downloadable support software. This new ‘board makes the concept more portable with Bluetooth connectivity instead of conventional RF, so it can be used with iOS devices.

“Laptops, smartphones and tablets are ubiquitous both at work and at play,” says Denis Pavillard, vice president of experience design at Logitech. “Because Apple devices are central to this trend, Logitech is committed to improving the way people interact with them. With its simple solar charging, familiar Mac layout and comfortable design, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 will appeal to Apple users worldwide.”

One Keyboard for All Your Apple Devices

Logitech Brand Manager Todd Walker says that when the company released the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for the Mac last fall, some customers let them know they wanted a solar keyboard that used a Bluetooth wireless connection. Logitech listened, and with the new Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760, up to three different devices can be kept paired via the easy-switching Bluetooth connection that allows you to quickly and easily switch from your Mac to your iPad with the press of a button. Switching back is just as easy.

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is stylish and compact with onboard cells that are powered by light for hassle-free charging. With its easy-switching Bluetooth connection, you can pair your keyboard to as many as three devices and switch among them without having to reconnect. This means you can move from typing on your Mac to your iPad to your iPhone and back again with the simple push of a button.

An ideal keyboard solution for your favorite Apple device, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 features a slim, minimalist design and Mac-specific keys, including Command, Brightness, Eject and more. The unique Logitech concave key design facilitates comfortable, quiet typing, and for idevice users offers more speed and precision than typing on an on-screen keyboard.

With its environmentally friendly PVC-free construction, fully recyclable box and onboard cells for charging, the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is designed to minimize its environmental footprint. Similar to the existing Logitech Solar Keyboards, you can charge this keyboard in any light low light or lamp light, indoors or outdoors. Fully powered, the keyboard works for at least three months, even in total darkness (based on average use per day of eight hours).

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in June 2012, for a suggested retail price of $79.99.
