Better than Apple- Can you believe it?
By Paige Turner
This is probably the best keyboard I have ever owned- and I've owned at least 20 different ones.

Let me run down the list of what makes this keyboard so remarkable.

1. Apple-like attention to detail. From the packaging itself, which is efficient, minimal, printed on plain recycled cardboard, and easy to open. It is easy to open and a delight.

2. This keyboard is beautiful- much better than the very nice keyboards that come with the desktop Macs.

3. The keys are the perfect size: bigger than the thin Apple Chiclet keys which I've never gotten used to as a fast touch typist (80+ wpm) and smaller than full-travel bulky cheap keyboards that come with generic desktops.

4. The keyboard itself is thin, light and beautiful. It is thinner than other wireless keyboards because it has no AAA or AA batteries inside.

5. The solar cells work great, save the environment, and allow for the elegant design.

6. The keyboard does require a USB port for the little wireless thing. One drawback is you "lose" the two USB ports on the Apple wired keyboard.

7. The easy to download App is amazing- it auto installs easily and gives you a visual on your computer screen to show how your batteries are and how many lumens your keyboard is getting.

8. The actual keyboard is EXACTLY laid out like the Mac keyboard- all the function keys work perfectly as designed.

9. Online support is fantastic- simple, clear, and answers all questions.

10. There is a dedicated solar button on the keyboard which you can press to see if you have a decent charge, and if you are getting enough sun.

11. There is absolutely no delay in typing.

12. While Apple gives you a choice: either a wireless keyboard that is truncated and missing the number pad, or a wired full keyboard, this great keyboard offers both at the same time: a full keyboard AND wireless!

This is just a wonderful, high quality product. Don't think of it as a standard Logitech product- this one is one of the best devices I've seen them produce.

Great all around, highly recommended
By Ron Cronovich
I'm very happy with my K750 and recommend it highly.

It works perfectly right out of the box with no software download or installation.

Typing on it is very comfortable, and I can type pretty fast on it. The keyboard layout is very similar to the standard Mac keyboard layout, including Mac-specific keys, but it also has a built-in dedicated number pad.

Build quality is very good. The keyboard is light and very thin, yet feels solid.

If you like your keyboard angled, there are two feet on the bottom of the back of the keyboard which fold out and allow the keyboard to stand at a comfortable angle for typing. The two feet are the only part of this keyboard that doesn't seem real sturdy. But I prefer leaving them folded in, so the keyboard lays perfectly flat.

I really love the solar power feature. On other wireless keyboards, batteries always die at the worst time, when you're in the middle of something important and don't have any spare batteries handy. On the K750, the built-in solar panel keeps the internal battery charged, and doesn't need much light to do so.

The included USB receiver is extremely tiny; it sticks out only a few millimeters. It's Logitech's "unifying" receiver, and can simultaneously connect up to 6 compatible Logitech wireless devices. I have a Logitech wireless mouse and this keyboard, and both work great using the same receiver, so I'm only using one of the two USB ports on my Macbook Air.

You also get a USB extender thingy that's about the size of a flash drive, which I guess you'd use if your USB port is hard to reach. And you get a small microfiber cleaning cloth for wiping the dust off without scratching anything. The packaging is very protective, but also completely recyclable.

The K750 for Mac is fairly new. The K750 for Windows has been out for a while, and is virtually identical to this (same weight, shape, and dimensions), except for the Mac-specific keys. There are over 200 user reviews for the Windows version, and the average rating is 4.5 stars.

One last thing: Logitech makes the K750 for Mac in several different colors, which you might check out before buying this particular color (all silver). There's an all-black one (like the Windows version). And there are several other colors that are mostly white except the top part surrounding the solar panels is a highlight color, there's green, pink, and blue.

Goodbye to Batteries
By C. Young
The Logitech K750 Wireless Keyboard for Apple computers uses two large solar panels at the top of the keyboard to power the keyboard and recharge an internal battery for times when light may be less than sufficient. I got this keyboard for the same reason you're probably reading this review; I was sick of replacing batteries in my other wireless keyboard.

So how does it work? Surprisingly well! There is a Logitech Solar App in the App store that will show you at a glance how much power you have left in your battery, as well as how much power the keyboard is pulling in from surrounding light. There is also a small button on the keyboard that you can press to see whether or not the keyboard is getting enough light.

I was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard. I was expecting something thicker and similar to other Logitech keyboards I've used in the past, but this one is very thin and comfortable to type on. The keys have a nice feel to them, and the layout of the keyboard is exactly what I would have expected from a Mac product.

There are only three things I wish were different about this keyboard:

1. The keyboard requires a USB dongle to work. While the USD dongle is extremely small and unobtrusive, it still requires a USB port. I would have preferred the keyboard to work via Bluetooth. On the up side, the USB dongle uses Logitech's unifying receiver, so if you use a compatible Logitech mouse with this keyboard, you can share the same USB dongle for both, instead of having to use two separate dongles.

2. The legs on the bottom of the keyboard that allow you prop it up at a higher angle seem pretty flimsy. I don't use them because I like the feel of the keyboard when it is flat, but it may prove an issue for those who like the propped-up angle and are heavy typers.

3. There is a power button on the keyboard to turn it on and off. I think it would be nicer to include an internal sensor that powers off the keyboard if it isn't touched for a period of time, and then powers it back on when a key is pressed. There may be such a sensor inside, but I was not able to find any information on it in the included documentation or on Logitech's site, so I'm assuming the keyboard does not have such a sensor. Having said that, I have left the keyboard on in my dark office a few times, but it always worked fine when I came back to use it.

In spite of the three things on my feature wish list, I really like this keyboard and will likely buy one for my office at work as well.
