Logitech 920-003471 or 920-003472 Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac. Be the first to review this product. Product ID: 17711. A Mac version of the existing Wireless Solar Keyboard K750, the K750 for Mac won’t be taking the place of the diNovo on my own desk, but it’s nevertheless a very good keyboard—one of the.
The build quality is fantastic and the keys work just as smooth as an Apple wireless keyboard. The solar powered charging is great! Literally charges from any light source; computer screen, lamps etc. It takes some fidgeting to get the Function keys to work but this wasn't a big deal.
I purchased this keyboard in Metallic silver with white keys to keep the Apple look. The silver has a clear coat over it so it won't have that nice metal feel that comes from most apple products but it is nice nonetheless. Also the best part. The Keyoard is only $60.00! I think for the quality of this keyboard and the money it will save you in batteries it will be totally worth the investment.
Overall I would Highly recommend this keyboard to anyone! You won't be disappointed! Just grabbed a Logitech K750 Solar Keyoard for Mac and I thought I'd write a quick review. This is hands down the best wireless keyboard I've come across.

You won't be disappointed! I have the PC version of this keyboard before I got a MacMini and the only real downside, we have to be careful with the small plastic legs that could be problematic if one pushes down too hard that they might break over time.
Other than that, when I used the Solar keyboard I made sure I had a light source overhead or nearby that powered/charge the keyboard. A few owners had a small light source a short distance from the keyboard and the keyboard battery did not charge as fast. The charge should last a few months if not longer depending on how much you use it. Some have said they got close to 6 months or so. I'm curious to know if the rather large 'top' created by the solar cells is much of an impediment at all, does it make it much larger than other keyboards in practise?
It seems like they could refine the idea by making solar elements that fit the space over the arrow keys, and where the battery indicator and on/off switch currently go, maybe a thinner strip at the top if it's still not enough. The battery indicator overall seems like a waste of space since the switch could just as easily go on a side, with the indicator somewhere discreet; after all there are only so many things a light on the keyboard could mean! Common complaints seem to be in the quality of the feet on the keyboard, and the lack of a light on the caps lock button. Also, am I right in thinking that it lacks volume-control and eject keys, or are these rolled into the function keys? Still, it seems like a good contender as a replacement wireless keyboard for me, as I love the newer Apple Wireless keyboard, but hate the laptop form-factor; I'm currently still using the original Apple Wireless keyboard (full-size white with clear plastic surround).

I was thinking about getting this keyboard as well but I've had some serious issues lately with the unifying receiver. I got a Logitech G700 gaming mouse about 2 months ago and it worked fine for about 4 weeks and then it died on me.

Logitech then sent me another and that one lasted for only 2 weeks. So I kept trying to figure out if it's the actual mouse or the receiver that was bad so I took both the older and the newer reciever, tired them in a different mac and ran the unifying software. The software couldn't see either of them which leads me to believe that the problem wasn't with the mouse itself.
They are now sending me a Performance Mouse. We'll see how that one goes. It it dies too, I'm sticking with bluetooth mice from here on in!
