Logitech just dusted off one of the smartest ideas in peripherals and gave it a modern, desk-friendly spin: a solar keyboard that stays charged off any light in the room. Sunlight, office fluorescents, your moody LED desk lamp—it doesn’t care. If your workspace isn’t a cave, this thing keeps sipping power and just works.
It’s part of Logitech’s Signature Slim line, which means the vibe is clean and minimal instead of “gaming spaceship.” Think low-profile keys, a footprint that doesn’t eat your desk, and the kind of quiet typing that won’t make your coworkers fantasize about noise-canceling you. The headline feature is the integrated solar strip that harvests energy from natural or artificial light, so you’re not babysitting a battery or hoarding AAA cells like it’s 2009.
Functionally, it checks the boxes you’d expect from Logitech in 2025: wireless, multi-device pairing, cross-platform support, and the sort of day-to-day reliability that made the brand a default choice for offices everywhere. The real play here isn’t raw spec flex—it’s energy autonomy. In typical indoor lighting, the keyboard stays topped up, which means fewer cables, fewer “low battery” tantrums, and fewer reasons to skip a Zoom because your space bar died.
There’s a sustainability angle that actually makes sense too. Harvesting light instead of constantly recharging or swapping disposables cuts waste over the long haul. Logitech has also been pushing post-consumer recycled plastics and low-impact packaging across its lineup, and a solar-first keyboard fits that strategy better than another RGB brick ever could.
If you remember Logitech’s beloved K750, this is the spiritual successor adapted for hybrid work and sleeker desks. Same core idea, better execution: slimmer design, quieter keys, and a power system that thrives under the lighting you already use. It’s not trying to reinvent typing; it’s trying to remove the dumb friction that gets in the way of it.
Bottom line: If your keyboard’s biggest job is to be invisible and dependable, a solar model that charges off any light source is a very welcome return to form. One less cable on your desk, one less chore on your to-do list—and one more gadget that doesn’t need babysitting. (via Acquire)
