Logitech first started producing solar wireless keyboards for PCs earlier this year but didn’t make a until a. The PC version got at Amazon so I thought this would be a good pick up for my Mac workstation when it was released. As a veteran of Apple’s original Wireless Keyboard, I was sick of dealing with battery and connectivity issues plus I wanted the full layout with numeric keypad, extra function keys extra and full arrows. I’ve been using it almost exclusively for the past three months.

First, I’ll say that the solar panels make the footprint about 25% bigger than a standard full Apple keyboard. That can be a hassle if you are cramped for space at your desk. On the other hand, the keyboard feels a bit more solid, perhaps because of the increased size and weight. Keystrokes are very similar feel to Apple’s standard keyboards and spacing and layout are all but identical. Logitech adds a power switch and battery tester at the top right.

I got the because it matches my monitor and my Logitech Mouse (which also works with this USB dongle) but there are 5 colors to choose from. I imagine the standard will be the most popular. As far as the solar is concerned, I never had a single problem with charging or connection. I have a florescent lit basement office and a workspace with natural light from a shaded back yard and both kept the keyboard charged at all times. The keyboard usually sits in front of a large 30″ monitor, so that probably helps.

But from reviews I’ve read, almost no one has a problem keeping this charged with normal office lighting so I don’t think this is a concern. There are some tradeoffs for having solar, however. One nitpick is that there is no caps lock light (do we even need a caps lock anymore? – I’d prefer a search button like a Chromebook). Saves power I guess. Since there is no way to tell it is depressed, I just.

Others use to modify function keys. Also, it doesn’t use my Mac’s built in Bluetooth. It requires a microscopic proprietary USB dongle with its own wireless band taking up a valuable USB port. That’s both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it allows me to keep my Bluetooth off (or in the case of, I didn’t have to buy a Bluetooth card) and doesn’t require the few seconds to connect that Bluetooth often does.

I’m hoping as more Macs have power efficient/quicker Bluetooth 4.0, Logitech moves over there (also it would be nice to use on iOS devices). But, the dongle works 100% of the time. As I mentioned above, I’d have some connectivity issues with Apple’s Bluetooth keyboard taking a few seconds to kick in, falling off or giving me repeated “r” keys. The “incline feet” on the back feel a bit flimsy. While they didn’t give way in three months of heavy use, I feel like they could have at some point if the keyboard was dropped or something heavy was dropped on it. I’d have preferred a built in incline on the keyboard as Apple does but this methods allows two different angles for those who care.

Speaking of not caring, I don’t use a wrist rest and thankfully, this keyboard doesn’t have one. That being said, I am overall extremely happy with the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac. I no longer have to worry about batteries or Bluetooth connectivity hiccups and I have a full wireless keyboard with numeric keys and full sized arrows and extra functions.

The tradeoffs are few with the major one being a microscopic USB dongle that travels around in my MacBook Air at times. In fact, with low power/fast connect Bluetooth 4.0 coming on most present and likely all future Macs, I’d be surprised if Apple didn’t have their own solar keyboard in the works. For now, Logitech’s is your best bet. Pick one up at or The PC version is.

The Logitech K750 Wireless Solar Keyboard comes in either silver or black and has all of the keys you would expect including a number pad on the right side, volume controls and other music controls along the top as well as the standard Mac eject button and a key to open Launchpad - and of course it has the right and left sets of Command, Option and Control on either side of the space bar. Getting started is ridiculously easy. All you do is plug in the thing they call a “Unifying Receiver” into an open USB port and download a tiny piece of software and you’re off and typing. The unifying receiver is really cool because if you get a Logitech wireless mouse or other Logitech wireless device, you don’t need anything additional - this little plug will automatically connect the mouse to your computer as well. On the back side, there are two little legs that fold in to allow the keyboard to lay flat on your desk or pop out to give a slight angle to make typing more comfortable.

The solar charging feature is another great feature that you’ll appreciate and then immediately forget because it just does it’s job perfectly. My office is not often brightly lit, and yet the keyboard still takes in enough light to keep the change at over 90% all of the time. Want to know how the charge is doing? Press the light button at the top right of the keyboard and a solar app will pop up on your screen to show you how much light is coming in at this very moment and how much reserve the internal battery has currently. At the time of this video, both the black and silver versions are listed on Amazon for $49.99, so that’s the same as the Apple wireless keyboard and just a couple of dollars more than the full sized wired one from Apple.
