Logitech K750 Solar Powered KB

Will hopefully get mine later this week, yey :). Gonna be a bit weird going from good old bulky Microsoft Multimedia keyboard to this, but will give it a go.
 
Glad you're enjoying it! My review was featured on Neowin's front page so am quite chuffed with that and hopefully will pit me in for a chance to win a seat on the Logitech TurnOn team for reviewing other stuff :D

*touches wood*
 
Very nice review m8, thanks for bringing this keyboard to my attention :)

May I ask a small favour? Can you please test the range of it for me. I am very interested in getting the k750 as an occasional HTPC keyboard but i need at least 4m range.

Thanks in advance
 
Nice review :cool:. I'm interested in the range too. Currently using an MX5500 keyboard (Bluetooth) and a Performance MX mouse. If the K750 can match the range of the mouse then I feel a purchase coming on... :) The MX5500 looks quite cheap next the K750 :(, although it is great to type on.

Just for reference the range on what I'm using at the mo seems good. For gaming I almost always use the panel in the living room which is around 10 meters away (and in the next room).
 
Ok.

Distance is about 10 meters through walls and floorboards, I was able to use the KB from the dining room downstairs :)
 
Probably when it's officially out :p

January 27th is when the KB is released on most sites.

As mentioned, 3 months in complete darkness, there is no charge time, it's always charging wherever there is light so you should never run out of battery as long as the KB is in some form of ambient light!

Great news! Cheers for checking :cool:. It sounds pretty much the same distance as I've been using, so I think it's time to invest shortly!
 
Mine arrived yesterday so I had a couple of hours to play with it last night.

Very happy with it so far, the build quality seems to be of a quite high standard. I've used a £20 Microsoft Multimedia for around 10 years, loved it, but tried a few Logitech and other brand 'gaming' keyboards and just found them really cheap, noisy plastic toys with lights.

The K750 looked quite deceiving to me, so thin, delicate and fragile, but actually feels quite sturdy. Not as solid as a larger keyboard, but still I don't feel like I'm going to break it when my hands are resting on it. Even a solid push and it hardly budges.

The feel of the keys is something I'm not used to as well. It feels nice :eek:.
Soft, responsive, nice texture on the key surface. Much better than I've tried before and similar to the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard that I was also impressed with.

The only things that I need to adjust are the way I type and my wrist / hand positions as again, it's quite different from a big old clunky standard keyboard. Maybe laptop users or those who have used the flat type would find it an easier transition.
I also need to look at the keyboard when typing as the spaces between keys are a little different, so I have to say a temporary goodbye to touch typing :). I do find myself typing quicker at some points though, it will improve with practice I guess.

The only thing I'm really missing though is the key that sits to the right of the right hand windows key that makes a mini-menu popup, very handy for spelling corrections. Ah well, right click it is from now on, booo.


Overall this seems like a brilliant keyboard, very happy with it. Build quality is impressive, feel is almost perfect and it's easy on the eye :).
 
Good to hear! You do have a right click key btw, it is the FN+PRINT SCREEN key, you should be able to easily press both with thumb and finger in a quick action :)

It is quite a heavy beast too, certainly doesn't look it when considering the thickness!
