Reviews for Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Solar Keyboard K760

Comfortable, full size, no battery hassle, quick pairing and connection. Type all day, fast, without any trouble.

Perfect. It just works.

Great idea, having solar panels and Bluetooth device selection, but the keys sit very loosely and rattle by themselves. With the loose keys, it makes the keyboard a challenge to use effectively as a touch typist and feels quite cheap.

If the keys felt more solid and responsive, this would be a great buy. Without, it's an idea that needs another iteration through the engineering department.

First, I'd like to say that I got this keyboard to make typing on my phone less of a hassle and because of that, my phone gets used more as a computing device nowadays. In fact, I'm happy to have bought the keyboard and my phone is almost always used now unless there's no equivalent app to do what I need to. Texting, e-mail, and music playback is a snap now.

However, I have a couple complaints about the keyboard. One is the key spacing. I'm used to smaller keys and no gaps. Since I have small fingers, the wide layout means I feel like I have to make more effort to reach upper and lower rows.

Concavity is barely noticeable and I don't know if it makes a difference anyway what with the keys being so big.

I believe I can type more quietly on my laptop keyboard. The keys don't rattle about on it like the Bluetooth keyboard.

Finally, the keyboard has no case and cannot be folded for travel/storage or raised off the desk. I prefer typing on keyboards that are inclined at an angle.

However, these are superficial biases. In terms of function, it worked properly from the moment I unpacked it. It turned on, paired with no hassles, and keyboard input is responsive and accurate. I like the on/off switch as opposed to a button, and of course, the solar charging is wonderful. The build feels sturdy and it's thin and light enough to move easily.

If one doesn't mind carrying a bigger bag to accommodate the keyboard, I'd say this product is worth buying. The fact it works on Macs and iOS devices means it's versatile, and that means less machinery to juggle. If it could be folded and elevated off the desk, I'd give it five stars, even with the wider layout.

I'm typing this review on the logitech k760. Its a really great keyboard so far and I was using it right out of the box within less than a minute. It was very easy to set up and paired right away with my ipad2. Another added feature, is that when you use it with the remote app for Apple TV on the ipad, it works as a keyboard for searching things on the Apple TV! which is great, because who wants to sit there and type in one letter at a time on the stupid apple remote? Especially when you are a fast typist. The other good feature here is that you can switch between multiple devices. Plus it even works with the iphone too. My only complaint is that the keyboard is a little big to carry around, and though logitech offers another version that is smaller and paired with a case, the keyboard does not come out of the case, so that seems impractical to me. I would really love it if they would come out with a smaller version like the keyboard "cover" that they make, that is also solar... with its own separate case. I don't mind carrying around a separate keyboard since then I can use it at any angle that I want to, particularly on my lap while the ipad sits on a coffee table in its own case. It would be great if apple would modify its Apple TV software so that bluetooth keyboards could be attached to use instead of a remote. The solar feature of this keyboard is so great, that I'll probably keep it, even though it is a little big, because I hate the waste and inconvenience of batteries. The solar feature was the main thing that attracted me to this keyboard. I have enough things to charge already, so one less is a really good thing. Another thing that would be good is if the tab keys on this keyboard enabled you to switch between applications on the ipad. There is a "home button" that takes you to the home screen, but you still have to swipe and tap to open applications. The tab keys do work to fill out online forms though. Overall I can't really complain too much about this keyboard because the solar feature is a giant leap forward, since I have not seen anything else out there that does the same thing for ipad. It would be great if the ipad itself was solar!! and how about a solar iphone??? ;) The only reason I gave this keyboard 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is a little big to carry around.., if they made a smaller version, maybe even a foldable one? I'd give it 5++++ stars!!

I've had the K760 for a few months, but really put it to the test today working from home. The Bluetooth switching is great, allowing me to flip back and forth between my third-gen iPad and early-2012 15-inch MBP with ease. This is highly subjective, but for me the keyboard has a great feel, with concave key tops and a bit more key travel than a new Apple unit. More "springy" and less "clicky," maybe a tad reminiscent of an older generation of keyboards that were designed with ergonomics, rather than style, as the top priority -- although the K760 looks great, too.
The solar power feature is really cool, and another major plus.
For me, this keyboard is now a must-have peripheral, expanding the utility of my iPad and letting me use the MacBook Pro in desktop mode -- all without batteries or cables. I love it.

I just got the Logitech k760 keyboard, and so far I am loving it. I have connected it to my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4s, it works great and is very easy to switch between devices. I can't wait to get an iPad to make my 3rd device on the keyboard (it connects with 3 devices and can easily switch by the press of a button.)

I like most everything about the keyboard except the bluetooth pairing. If the keyboard sits idle for even a small amount of time (couple minutes) it loses the pairing. Can't tell you how many times I've been typing, stopped to collect my thoughts, and tried to start again only to find the keyboard was no longer sync'd and I had to wait. It's particularly troubling on the web when a lot of the interaction is through the trackpad. When it's time to enter text, the keyboard has usually been disconnected. If not for that, I would have given it 5 stars.

As a critical consumer with a taste for quality, I often return gadgets for reasons of poor design or shoddy materials. I have a few of the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboards which are awesome (like most Apple hardware) for the compact form and sturdy build, but their short battery life causes headaches with the flashing "low battery" indications and frequent search for fresh cells. I decided to try this solar board, half expecting to encounter a poorly implemented connectivity process or an annoying, squishy plastic touch.

As it turns out, the K760 bluetooth setup went more smoothly than the Apple keyboards! I've tried both models back and forth to confirm this. The K760 also has an additional feature I hadn't expected; There are three hotkeys to switch between host devices (iPad/iPhone/Mac/etc), and it jumps between them in less than two seconds consistently. The K760 feels slightly different from the Apple wireless but more similar than in comparison to any other keyboard I've tried. The K760's keys depress slightly further; the touch is not quite as firm as the Apple but not by much; the clicking noise is a bit brighter and louder, but I'm being nit-picky with these criticisms.

I'm giving my  keyboards away and sticking to this one.

I was VERY excited when I saw this keyboard, in fact it was just minutes after seeing it that I ordered it.
I had the larger of the Logitech solar keyboards, it was just too big for my liking but I loved the feel and no batteries for life is a great selling point.

So I bought this one straight away.

I like this keyboard but it does not have the same feel as the larger Logitech keyboard had. I would think they would be EXACTLY alike, but not at all.

Also this one is MUCH noisier to type on. The keys feel a bit mushy compared to my Apple aluminum BT key...compared to the larger solar too.

I like the idea of switching from device to device with the stroke of a key, but I actually use my function keys in my day-to-day workflow and need all of them so I switched the "special Bluetooth" keys back to regular F keys. This can be done by holding the "fn" key down (never known what the heck that was for...lol). I thought that that was very thoughtfully executed.

Its larger brother also had little kickstand feet on the bottom that you could flip out in order to angle the keyboard at you, not here,so the key angle is at a slightly different grade then I'm used to. I'm sure something I will get used to, but...

If it were a debate in my mind between the two, the Apple aluminum keyboard and this, the Apple would win hands down.

But they aren't perfect either. The battery life on the Apple is absolutely horrible. And rechargeables barely get over a 60% battery life registry even if they come right out of the charger.

I'm typing this review on the Logitech and I'm going to keep it for now, but I'm also wondering if it won't wind up on ebay in a month.

Major update!!!

Keyboard is boxed back up and I'm back to my Apple aluminum wired keyboard on my second computer and the mini aluminum BT keyboard on the main computer.

There were a few deal breakers that sorta made the choice easier. But the main glaring one was that upon every restart the keyboard would default back to the state of the first three function keys being Bluetooth 1-2-3 and the keyboard required pairing upon every restart...NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!

Besides nothing feels like an Apple keyboard to me anyway.
