Logitech’s New Signature Slim Solar+ K980 Keyboard Can Be Powered By A Light Bulb

Logitech has unveiled a new full-sized computer keyboard that requires no batteries or regular recharging because it’s powered by the sun or artificial light. The new Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980 wireless keyboard can use almost any light source to top up its rechargeable batteries.

Powered by Logitech’s proprietary Logi LightCharge technology, the new Signature Slim Solar+ K980 has a full-size layout and uses laptop-style keys with low-profile scissor switches. The layout is suitable for Windows and macOS operating systems, although Logitech is also releasing a special macOS-only version that will be on sale in North America.

This new solar-powered keyboard can be extensively customized using Logi Options+ software which enables the keyboard to be personalized with up 23 special shortcut keys, including Smart Actions which can automate common tasks. There’s also an AI Launch Key for instant access to handy tools like Copilot, Gemini or ChatGPT.

Connect Up To Three Devices

The Signature Slim Solar+ K980 keyboard can connect wirelessly with up to three different Bluetooth devices with easy switching between them. There’s no USB port for connecting with a cable, so you need to use Bluetooth for connecting to a host device. Incidentally, the keys aren’t backlit, but this helps to reduce the level of power consumption.

Wireless keyboards are great for reducing cable clutter and the hassle of having to regularly recharge. The Signature Slim Solar+ is continuously being recharged without interruption and it’s designed to work for up to four months, even if stored in complete darkness. The keyboard can be charged even from the light of a single lightbulb.

“Even the need to think about charging can be a distraction,” says Art O’Gnimh, general manager of core products group at Logitech. “We designed Signature Slim Solar+ to take that off your plate completely. It stays powered by light — any light — clearing your desk of cables and eliminating the need to physically charge it, while bringing elegance and comfort to your workspace. That’s one less thing to worry about on a busy working day.”

Recycled And Sustainable

The plastic used to make the graphite version of the Signature Slim Solar+ is made up of 70% certified post-consumer recycled material. The keyboard also has a specially designed rechargeable battery that’s designed to last for up to 10 years, eliminating the need for it to be replaced and is part of Logitech’s Design for Sustainability principles that aim to reduce the company’s carbon footprint while ensuring the durability, reliability and long-term performance of its products.

Launching alongside the new keyboard is the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 for Business. This enterprise version of the keyboard ships with a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver for secure and reliable connectivity, even in busy offices where there’s a busy spectrum from mobile phones, Bluetooth devices and even microwave ovens.

With a battery that’s always charged, lack of cables and minimal maintenance, this business version of the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 should be a firm favorite with corporate IT departments.

The Signature Slim Solar+ K980 for Business can be monitored by an IT department using Logitech’s Sync software which gives tech support teams a central view of each keyboard’s status, including the firmware it’s using. With Logitech’s business support, the new keyboard is designed to be deployed easily across global workforces.
