Logitech’s new keyboard can be recharged by any kind of light
Logitech has launched a solar-powered keyboard. The Signature Slim Solar+ K980 is available for $100. It can use light from any light source to stay charged and ready to use. You can use it in complete darkness for up to four months once it’s fully charged. The keyboard absorbs light through a strip above the keys themselves, which use a scissor-switch mechanism.
You don’t have to think about plugging the keyboard in or changing its battery: It’s powered by a rechargeable battery that Logitech says can last up to 10 years. But if it does malfunction, the company told The Verge that you can replace it on your own, because it’s encased in plastic and is sold by iFixit. The keyboard absorbs light through a strip above the keys themselves, which use a scissor-switch mechanism and are in a full-size layout with a separate number pad. It’s compatible with multiple operating systems, and you can link it with up to three multi-OS devices and jump from one to the other with its Easy-Switch keys. If you use the Logi Options+ app, you can program its action key to automate simple tasks and to customize its AI launch key to instantly fire up the AI chatbot of your choice.
The Signature Slim Solar+ K980 is now available for $100. Logitech is also selling a business variant with a USB-C receiver for $110 and a North America-exclusive model with a layout specifically for Mac for $110.
