    Earlier this May, Logitech unveiled its Solar Keyboard Folio for the new iPad and iPad 2, and the accessory maker is rounding out the month by adding another sun-powered peripheral to its stable. Like the Keyboard Folio, the just-announced Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 works with iPads, but it's also compatible with Macs and iPhones. The K760 has Bluetooth for pairing up to three devices at a time, and it features Mac-specific keys such as Brightness, Command and Eject. Users should get about three months of use after the keyboard is fully charged up via sun or indoor light. We got to do a bit of typing with the K760, and are happy to report that it's a fairly well-built little grid. The deck feels solid, and the keys have a decent depth to them when pressed. Plus, the spun metal power button and the silver flake paint job lend a premium appearance. It'll cost $80 when it goes on sale next month, and you can get a closer look at what those dollars will buy in our gallery below.

  • Logitech releases Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 for Mac and iOS devices

    Accessory manufacturer Logitech is on a roll with its recent successful release of the Ultrathin Keyboard Cover and Solar Keyboard Folio for iPad, and today the company announced the new Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 for Mac and iOS devices. The US$79.99 keyboard is only available for preorder at this time, but looks like it will be a winner. There's no need to replace or recharge batteries in the K760, ever. A small strip of photovoltaic cells across the top of this keeps the Bluetooth keyboard charged up via sun or lamp light, and even if you're stuck in a totally dark room for the next three months, it will keep on clicking. One cool feature is the ability to switch between paired devices -- say an iMac, iPhone, and iPad -- with the push of a button. That makes the K760 perfect for situations where you'd like to use one keyboard to "rule them all." We're attempting to get a Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 for a review; until then, enjoy the video provided by Logitech.
