Customer Reviews
My biggest concern before buying this keyboard was that it would die too often. Let me first explain how these concerns were put to rest after several months of use. I use this keyboard in a room with a single window that is covered by both blinds and curtains. I also use the keyboard at least 10 feet from the window and the light in the room is off for most of the day. The keyboard gets several hours of use daily and I have never flipped the hardware power switch off. The power level, however, has never dropped below 100%.
Next, the "PerfectStroke key system" and "Incurve Keys" really are comfortable and make typing easier. I particularly like the way the key feels when you press down. You get a very small amount of feedback almost resembling the old IBM keyboards, but without the loud clicking. I agree that it is a bit like tapping on a laptop. The big difference, however, is that the keys on the k750 are much sturdier than those on your usual notebook PC.
As for the connection, I was a bit worried that the new super-small "unifying receiver" would not provide adequate signal. This is incorrect. In fact, this small transponder works much better than Logitech's older stick version. It is on the back of my pc and so has to see through an aluminum computer chassis as well as a wooden desk, about 4 feet total distance. I've never had a problem with the signal on either my mouse or this keyboard.
Finally, the software for the keyboard is pretty much what you'd expect. You press the sunlight button and a dialog pops up on your computer telling you the "LUX" (amount of light) your keyboard is getting and how much battery power is remaining. There is also a function key which you use in combination with the top row of keys to do things like open your internet browser, pause a song, mute/increase/decrease the volume, etc.
One downside, according to my wife, is that it looks like I'm using a giant old-school calculator. I think this is not true at all: the solar panels are a dark red while the keyboard is black. This causes the solar panels to not really be noticeable unless you are looking for them.
I wasn't specifically looking for a 'solar' keyboard, but this works great.
The design/feel is about the same as typing on recent Apple keyboards where the keys are like 'chiclet' candies.
It's very comfortable and easy to use. I was looking for an ergonomic replacement for my aging/sticky Microsoft wireless ergonomic keyboard... I was sick of changing out rechargeable batteries all the time.
This uses a VERY tiny USB adapter which allows other wireless logitech devices to connect to 1 adapter.
PROS:
-very comfortable / fast typing / very responsive
-not overly 'fancy' with all kinds of volume/media controls... although it does have the capability for some functionality such as music, shortcuts, media controls, calculator, etc...
-VERY thin (feels like typing on a thin laptop)
-you don't "need" to install any software... so it should work on Linux for basic functionality
CONS:
-not 'ergonomic' / wave-shaped
-shiny black surface might attrack some fingerprints, but it's not too bad as it seems
-incline 'feet' are a little thin, not very stable (but I don't use them)
SOLAR:
-I was worried the solar panels might not get enough light but I've never had the built-in batteries drop below 100% (I'm within a few feet of a window
-overhead room lights are more than sufficient to charge solar panels
-cool little 'Solar App' shows if you're getting enough light at that particular time
