Wireless Solar Keyboard K750

Logitech has introduced its Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 - the company's first keyboard that's powered by light.

The Solar Keyboard powers itself whenever there's light, even indoors, making battery hassles a thing of the past, the company said.

It powers itself through an integrated solar panel - no power bricks or charging cables needed.

The included Solar Power app features a lux meter to help you get the necessary light, makes it easy to get at-a-glance information about battery levels, and even alerts you when you need more power.

Although the Solar Keyboard is powered by light, it can work in total darkness for up to three months, the company claimed.

The low-profile keyboard is only 7.5mm thick and features Incurve keys - the keys use a concave design that supports the shape of your fingertips, while helping guide your fingers to the right keys.

Plus, it sues a tiny Unifying receiver that is small enough to stay in a laptop, so there's no need to unplug it when you move around. And you can easily add up to six Logitech Unifying-ready mice and keyboards -without the hassle of multiple USB receivers.

The Solar Keyboard K750 is expected to be available in the market by the middle of next month and retail for approximately in the range of USD 75 - USD 80.

Review: Logitech Wireless Trackball M570

Veteran trackball owners will find the M570's shape very familiar. Logitech makes this clear that it was on purpose: even on its promo page, the company showed that the design is a dead ringer in many ways for models several years old or more. There's a good reason for it, as the heavily sculpted shape is designed to fit a right hand almost perfectly. The trackball, buttons and scroll wheel all fall to hand very easily. Left-handers who can't use a mouse right-handed will want to stay away, but that's true of most trackballs.

Whether or not it's comfortable over long periods is partly dependent on your desk and mousing position. When we first tried the M570, it was actually less comfortable than Apple's Magic Mouse, which itself is known for not being especially friendly to wrists. After adjusting our position, however, we found that it was good for several hours of work.

Our chief issue over a long period is simply noise: the trackball is silent as you'd expect, but the buttons all make relatively loud clicking noises compared to some mice, including some of Logitech's own. If you often listen to music or work in a noisy office you won't mind, but it may be distracting to someone in a quiet room.

Actual motion for the trackball is pleasant; it feels much like a marble and is as price as you'd expect. Be prepared to adjust sensitivity, since your first experience will invariably result in overshooting the target. You may also need to modify your habits for selecting text or other tasks that need drag-and-drop behavior. We also liked that the scroll wheel has clear detents -- a must-have for gamers and anyone else who needs precise scrolling -- though it definitely isn't as polished and pleasant-feeling as the metal wheels on Logitech's MX and VX mice. It would have been appreciated if Logitech had tried to rival its best mice in at least this area.
