I was looking for a keyboard with low-profile 'laptop-like' keys to replace my old diNovo wireless keyboard and media pad, and since this one and the illuminating K800 are the only two keyboards with low profile incurve scissor keys that caught my attention I figured I'd give this one a shot.
The Pros:
This keyboard is very thin and has excellent low-profile keys. I'm all about taking the effort out of typing and these keys offer low resistance and short travel, which makes typing very fast and easy.
This keyboard is very thin and has excellent low-profile keys. I'm all about taking the effort out of typing and these keys offer low resistance and short travel, which makes typing very fast and easy.
The solar panels also seem like a nice idea, since they theoretically mean that I'll never have to replace or recharge batteries for the device (I didn't have the keyboard for very long, so I don't know how well this theory works in practice (i.e., if the solar panels actually effectively recharge the keyboard over the long term with average indoor lighting)). I played with the keyboard’s solar app and it looked like the recharging capability was at about 50 percent with my usual indoor lighting and was at 100 percent when I turned on my desk lamp (which basically pointed directly down onto the solar panels).
The Unifying receiver works as advertised. I didn't get any noticeable lag when the keyboard connected up to the receiver after initially booting up the computer, which is always a plus.
The Cons:
The glossy black plastic surface on the face of the keyboard (surrounding the keys) is probably the least scratch resistant surface I've ever dealt with. I tried to very carefully clean it with the microfiber cloth that comes with the keyboard and I ended up putting small scratches everywhere I wiped. I recommend either not removing the thin plastic protective layer that I peeled off right after I purchased the keyboard or using compressed air to remove all dust and dirt particles before cleaning the surface with the microfiber cloth (and yes, I know both recommendations sound a bit ridiculous).

The second problem I have is that the black plastic surface is so thin that I can easily tell where the rechargeable battery is located within the keyboard. The black plastic bumps up over the battery, which isn't a huge deal, but I'd prefer a thinner battery, a thicker keyboard, or thicker black plastic in order to hide the battery and give the surface a more uniform and refined appearance.
The Conclusion:
I ended up returning this keyboard and buying Logitech’s Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 instead. It’s thicker, has very similar low profile keys, and has a much more robust black matte finish surface around the border regions of the keyboard (with a glossy black plastic surface only used for a middle portion of the keyboard near the keys, which I can handle). The K800 has a design and layout that look very similar to the diNovo keyboard and media pad that I’m replacing, so I’ll take that as an added bonus, as I’ve been very happy with my diNovo set (except for the diNovo’s dysfunctional spacebar that is about half as sensitive as the rest of the keys, the media pad’s uncanny ability to drain AA batteries, and the Bluetooth initial connection lag when first booting up the computer…did I mention I’m excited to have the K800?).

Immediately loved the touch of this keyboard. After 3 weeks of use I realized the battery wouldn't charge beyond 60%. I always work at my computer with a light on. I noticed the battery would lose as much as 20% power overnight while being shut off. Even sitting in direct sunlight for days on end wouldn't charge this thing. Now I'm beyond the time when I can return it.
I'm ordering another battery and will give it one more chance. If a new battery doesn't work I guess this keyboard will just become another door stop.
I've always been happy with other Logitech products but I'm a pretty unhappy camper right now.

The second i bought and started using this keyboard I fell in love with it! I have a whole house full of Logitech products because... well.. they all work, work WELL and work for a LONG time.
The app that comes with this thing is awesome as well! Fast, Smooth, convenient app to tell me how much light its getting, and how much charge the battery has. Love it.
ONLY Problem i have with this keyboard is that there is NO indication of whether or not your Lock keys are on or off. For a 3D artist like myself, its kind of important to know so that I don't accidentally screw something up because my CAPS was on, changing my set of hotkeys.
On the end note, still, an amazing keyboard!

I'll recommend this but only with a few caveats. If you're prone to spilling or dropping things around your keyboard area, this is NOT the keyboard for you - this keyboard is very delicate and sensitive and doesn't like being roughly handled or having things dropped upon it. I know, I killed my first one this way. It was a swift death in the sort of incident that other keyboards have easily handled (after maybe a brief break for drying out). Also, when buying the replacement, it took a couple of tries to get one that correctly charged so there's some sort of quality issue. But the first one worked well until the, um, accident and once I got one that properly charged this one has stayed working just fine.

I have had the keyboard for 6 months and now the battery will not hold a charge. When I get to my computer to start doing stuff for work, I have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes for the keyboard to even respond to a key being pushed even though my desk sits against a window and the keyboard has plenty of sun to absorb everyday.

Features:
I don't know of another Solar Keyboard. Enough said. Do I need to mention all of the features that are inherent in any Logitech device. OK. Keys are very nice, little noise and easy to engage. Slim design is key. Love the fact that my hands barely have to move. I like it flat! Feels like typing on air.

This is a subjective topic, but I will note that this keyboard is as adjustable as any other and is very responsive even to the lightest touch.

greatest keyboard i have ever bought, very easy to setup, and even the fn keys work in ubuntu and windows just fine which has been a problem with other keyboards in the past. I usually use my computer in a relatively dark room and yet once i got it charged it has never died. very easy to setup just plug in the receiver, have tested the keyboard up to 20 feet and works wonderfully. i would definitely recommend this product to anyone who hates worrying about batteries, the only thing i wish it had was a battery level display on the keyboard or an application for ubuntu to tell me what the charge is as i use mainly linux at home.

PRO: The keyboard as advertised is thin, yet sturdy, light panel works well (so far), and the SolarApp indicates lots of light to recharge from my desk lamp (100%= 110 Lux). It has a very good feel and I'm writing this review on it, happily, using a K750 for Mac, though I'm posting it in the generic K750 part as well. Same model, double exposure. Would love to hear your comments.
As to what more can you ask? Here are my thoughts. I downgraded accordingly for the lacking in the support software for this keyboard.
CON:While I conditionally recommend the keyboard and Unifying dongle, you beware that there is no keyboard CAPSLOCK indication and there's no convenient mapping control (at least on the K750 for Mac) to change, add, or modify the mapping preloaded into this keyboard. You may be able to fix the mapping with third party software, but this config marks the first time a Logitech product has to rely on this scenario that I remember.

First I want to say that when I first got the keyboard, I loved it. It is very comfortable, the keys feel springy, and it is wireless with no batteries! I work as an engineer in the high tech industry near Seattle, WA.
I work in an office and sometimes have to take the keyboard with me when I work at home. Two weeks after I bought the keyboard, I carefully put it in my computer bag and took it home for some work over the weekend. On the freeway someone pulled in front of me and I had to make a hard stop. I thought the keyboard would be ok inside a padded computer bag. But, when I took it out, one of the keys was broken. I could see that the keys are held in place by two pieces of plastic which are about the thickness of a human hair each. No wonder it broke so easily!
I took the keyboard back to Best Buy and they gladly exchanged it for a new one. I used the keyboard for another month and, knowing it is fragile, I treated it like a baby and avoided taking it out of the office. When I did take it out, it rode in the baby seat.
A month after I exchanged the keyboard for a new one, a paper airplane flew across the office and smack, this time two keys gone! It was just a paper airplane, Logitech. You have to do better than this. For a $80 keyboard I deserve better than this!

I came from a Bluetooth 1.0 Keyboard and Mouse that was as reliable as a bad tooth. This keyboard and my performance mx mouse are off the chain reliable. Works in bios, 20 feet from computer. Ultra chic 1/4 Inch thick ultra quiet and very comfortable. Installing the software was a breeze (gives onscreen notification of caps lock etc). And the Solar App is a great way to determine how good your lighting is.
Was a little apprehensive because some were complaining that it would die even in good light. They must have received a dud, I work is barely adequate lighting and haven't opened my blinds since receiving it and my power gauge stayed on 100% for the whole first month. Going on two months and just saw 96% put it in my window while on an errand (maybe 2-3 hours twice) back up to 100%. Now I leave it in the window on Sat night and use it after church on Sun. afternoon - charge back up to 100%. The solar app has a speedometer looking gauge that goes from zero-five hundred lux. My light in my room while typing is 27 lux, it is happy between 100-250 lux. The three times Ive place in my window : sunny day, overcast day, rainy day all registered 500 lux! But the kicker is I type the fastest with the fewest mistakes with this keyboard than I've ever typed on any other device period! Satisfied...You think?

I had to write a review for this keyboard because it is perfect!
Right out of the box, looks beautiful. I had it delivered at work and had it out and multiple people commented just on the looks. (IT people)
There is no setup. Plug the little teeny receiver in, turn the keyboard on, and BAM it is ready to go. Plus the same receiver works with my wireless mouse. (Windows 7)
NO BATTERIES! and the little Solar app that automatically installs (Windows 7) shows you exactly how much juice you're getting from the light! Kind of fun!
I used this for gaming all night the night I got it. It feels just as good as my wired keyboard as far as response time, no missed keystrokes yet!
Total 5 out of 5 and I can't be more impressed with this keyboard. Logitech has really pushed the wireless keyboard a new level with this.

Keyboard is good, no cord or battery is good, but shiny black plastic is bad. Very bad, and pointless.
Every speck of dust and every touch with a finger shows up and makes the keyboard look like a mess all the time.
This might not matter if you only use the keyboard in a dark basement. But for everyone else this matters at least to some degree.
Would have been much better to have a matte finish in a lighter colour.
(Does anyone actually prefer shiny black plastic? Why do manufacturers insist on using shiny black plastic for frequently touched surfaces?)

I have recently brought the Logitech K750 to use wiith my Fedora PC. I also brought the Logitech Wireless Touchpad which can be bound to the one unity dongle, because Logitech do not write software for Linux I found that I had to bind the two devices on a windows machine with the Unify software and then transfer the devices back to my Linux machine. This worked but it was annoying.
The device itself is quite nice, and all of the functions work straight out of the box. Not sure what sort of charge I am getting (again no Linux support for software). But the Lights are green so I assume it is good.
The keys are lovely to use and are whisper quiet. I do wish that there were some dedicated media keys, however everything is covered with the function keys combos.
As others have said, it would be good if there was something to indicate if the CAPS/NUM Lock keys were selected, It is Solar so could there not be a led on these keys that is on whe the Keyboard is active? If the battery is going to be recharged then would power drain be a real issue? I have seen that there is software for windows for this. What about Linux.
All in all happy with the device and I would recommend it.

I bought this keyboard in January 2012 to use as an external keyboard with my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7.2). There is much I like about it, but it does have some shortcomings. These include no indicator light for the Caps Lock key. If you use this keyboard with a PC you can download software from LogiTech that will give you a Caps Lock indicator on your screen, but so far nothing like that exists for the Mac. Also, only 4 of the 12 function keys do what they are supposed to do according to the icons on the keys. But the most irritating thing about my keyboard is that the Num Lock key WON'T TURN OFF. I am used to using the directional arrows on the number keypad to navigate within and between lines. Granted there is another set of arrow keys on the keyboard dedicated exclusively to this task, but it will take breaking decades-old habits for me to become comfortable with their location. Having said this, keys available on the K750 that are not on the MacBook keyboard are a god-send, including Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, and Backspace. (The MacBook Pro has these functions, but they require two keystrokes instead of one.) However, the backspace key does make an annoying squeak when pressed in a certain way. It doesn't seem to be as solidly seated as the other keys. I suspect this is a random flaw that can affect other keys on different keyboards.
I LOVE the fact that I don't have to worry about batteries! I work in a corner office with lots of sunlight, so I hope it keeps its charge. We'll see.

I purchased the solor keyboard thinking it would be cool to use, not need batteries and thus be great. WRONG .... the keyboard itself,when it works is fine. However the board sits under a light almost 10 hours a day and also beside a window. I use my PC a lot and the keyboard runs out of juioce within an hour of medium useage ... not good!
This keyboard looks nice and has great features, but I could not recommned it because of the power problems it seems to have.

I haven't been using this keyboard for long but i am already in love with it. There are many things that you can customize on it and the major upside to it is that the battery practically never runs out (unless your in complete darkness for 3 months)
