Logitech releases solar-powered, repairable keyboard
Do you want a wireless keyboard that only needs the power of nature and your own initiative to stay running for a long time? Logitech might have the answer.
This week, the company announced the launch of a repairable, solar-powered keyboard, the Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980.
The Swiss computer peripheral company's new wireless keyboard is available now, and it sports a couple of very interesting features. It features a solar cell that the company claims can last up to a decade. Second, it's meant to be repairable, per The Verge. Logitech told The Verge that it's encased in a plastic casing that should be easy for users to work around, and spare parts for repairs are being sold by iFixit, a website that partners with a lot of tech companies to sell replacement parts for all sorts of devices.

Even cooler is that the keyboard will apparently work with artificial light, not just true solar rays. So, even if your office doesn't get direct sunlight, you can stay powered up.
Aside from the solar aspect repairability, it looks like a fairly standard wireless Logitech keyboard. It's got both Mac and PC button labels as well as a new dedicated key for launching whatever AI assistant your operating system defaults to, or ChatGPT, if you prefer.
The Logitech K980 keyboard goes for $99.99 and is available now at the Logitech website.
