Logitech K750[edit]
The Logitech K750 is the first solar keyboard. It has a set of solar panels along the top edge, charges in sunlight or under a standard bulb, can work up to three months in total darkness, and includes software to display battery charging status. It is compatible with Windows or Macintosh operating systems,[1][2][3] and it also works out-of-the box with Linux, even though the accompanying software from Logitech does not have a Linux version.[original research?]
Logitech K760[edit]
Logitech K760 is the second solar keyboard. It is smaller, white and works via Bluetooth.
