    Reliable and works as advertised

    • Written by from Honolulu

    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.

    Great keyboard but a little big...

    • Written by from SUNNYSIDE

    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!!

    No batteries. Ever. Almost perfect.

    • Written by from Mountain View

    Your search for the perfect, compact keyboard is over. This beauty from Logitech pairs with the touch of a button to up to 3 of your favorite bluetooth devices (i.e. laptop, iPhone, iPad) and never needs batteries!

    The only reason I'm subtracting a star is due to the easily scratched solar panel, but it's a cosmetic issue, not a functional one.

    One nice touch relative to its larger sibling with the numeric keypad, is the addition of a caps lock LED...though the minor nit there is that it doesn't stay lit (could be a hardware defect).

    Anyway, minus the scratches, this should be your keyboard. :D

    Solar powered Keyboard...

    • Written by from Casselberry

    The keyboard is slightly larger than Apple's Bluetooth keyboard. The depth is about 2 inches larger, and this area is taken up with the solar cells. The key layout, and key size are very similar. The key tops have a slightly deeper curve, and the keystroke is slightly longer. Since the "feel" of a keyboard is subjective and hard to describe, I will only say the is similar to the Apple'a keyboard. Most of the key functions are the same as Apple's with the exceptions noted on Logitech's WEB page. The Bluetooth connection feature is really nice. It is easy to setup, and in my brief experience so far, it works very well. The keyboard is plastic, with non-skid feet. The power switch is on right top, just under the solar array. It's clearly marked, and it's easy to see if the keyboard is "ON" or "OFF", unlike the push button the the Apple Keyboard. The indicator LEDs for the Bluetooth keys, caps lock and power functions come on only for a few seconds and go off (to save power I assume). So, keep this in mind. If your Caps lock key has been pressed, after a few seconds the LED indicator will go off, even though the Caps lock is still active.

    The solar cells charging feature is really smart, having to continually replace batteries is something that we all could do without. Since I haven't had this keyboard long enough to fully evaluate it, I can't say how well this feature will work over time. There are two internal rechargeable batteries that maintain power when a light source is too dim or not present. Nothing is mentioned as to what type of rechargeable batteries these are, or what there life expectancy is. From what is shown in the manual, I would bet that one could replace them if needed.

    Overall, I like the keyboard, and the Bluetooth and Solar features. Time will tell how well it performs. It is a bit pricy, but it also has some unique features to offer.
