Logitech Launches Solar-Powered K980 Keyboard With 10-Year Battery Life

Logitech has launched the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 keyboard, featuring innovative Logi LightCharge technology that uses a solar panel to power the device, potentially lasting up to ten years without needing a traditional charge. This keyboard can recharge from any light source, including artificial indoor lighting, and can operate for up to four months in complete darkness once fully charged. It offers multi-device and multi-OS switching capabilities and extensive customization through the Logi Options+ app, although it lacks backlighting and physical battery level indicators to preserve battery life. The design is slim and minimalist, suitable for office or gaming setups, but the keys feel lighter and more hollow compared to other premium keyboards. While it does not have backlighting — a tradeoff for its longevity — it provides a nearly maintenance-free experience, eliminating the need for cables or wireless charging pads. Overall, the K980 is positioned as a convenient, environmentally friendly keyboard that prioritizes battery life and ease of use.
