It has been a very long time since Logitech launched a sun-powered keyboard, however with the Signature Slim Photo voltaic Plus K980, the accent maker is again within the solar-powered keyboard recreation.
The keyboard does not function a USB port or swappable batteries and may solely be powered by mild, whether or not that is the solar or synthetic mild that hits 200 lux at a minimal. 200 Lux is taken into account reasonably vibrant lighting, so most lights (particularly these in an workplace) ought to have the ability to hit this brightness stage. Logitech states that the keyboard’s inside battery is able to lasting as much as 10 years and that even when it is left in full darkness, the K980’s battery can final for 4 months, so so long as you let it sunbath for some time, you ought to be good.
A fairly primary keyboard that is powered by mild
If solely it have been extra ergonomic
Except for its distinctive charging capabilities, the K980 is basically a normal keyboard, full with Home windows/macOS key labels and a full numeric keypad. Like a variety of trendy keyboards, you may swap between three Bluetooth connections with the faucet of a button, which I’ve discovered very helpful for leaping between Mac, Home windows, and my iPad. There’s additionally a devoted AI key that launches Copilot on Home windows and Gemini on ChromeOS (it may be personalized with the Logi+ app to launch no matter you need, although).
Like most of Logitech’s equipment, the Slim Photo voltaic Plus K980 is appropriate with Logitech’s Bolt USB adapter, although it is not included within the field, which is an odd transfer on the accent maker’s half.
A solar-powered keyboard is not one thing I’ve ever actually thought of, however I like the concept of by no means having to swap its batteries or plug it in. I desire extra ergonomic keyboards (I have been utilizing Logitech’s K850 for a number of years), however I’ve loved making an attempt out the extra MacBook Magic Keyboard-like flat keys featured on the Signature Slim Photo voltaic Plus K980. That mentioned, I want it had a extra substantial palm relaxation as a result of I’ve discovered that my wrists begin to damage after utilizing the keyboard for a number of hours.
