Logitech's new light-powered keyboard is a revelation in the tech world, offering a sustainable solution to powering devices without traditional batteries. Though the company had abandoned solar keyboards over a decade ago, it's now reviving the concept with its latest innovation, the $99.99 Signature Slim Solar Plus K980. This sleek keyboard, inspired by its predecessor the K760 (https://www.theverge.com/2012/5/30/3051940/logitech-solar-wireless-k760), relies entirely on light to charge its battery—no USB ports, no replaceable batteries, just a clever solar cell that converts ambient or artificial light into energy. The K980 claims its battery can last up to 10 years when fully charged, and once powered, it can function in complete darkness for four months. Logitech’s spokesperson, Melvin Dilanchian, confirmed the battery is 'safely user-replaceable' due to its plastic casing, with spare parts available from iFixIt—a testament to the company’s commitment to repairability.
