The most unusual addition is a “Check Light” above the number pad.
A function key below the question mark key in the lower right provides access to an array of shortcuts on the upper F keys, including search, calculator, media controls, volume, and power off. Logitech keeps the key arrangement on the K750 pretty typical. Though they look flimsy, the K750 actually feels very firm and “planted” on a desk, without the rattle that cheap keyboards sometimes have as they bounce away beneath your fingers.
Two folding legs in the back boost the keyboard about an inch off the desk to give it a more comfortable slope. Long story short: It looks more mature.Īt only ⅓ of an inch thick, the K750 makes even previously slim keyboards like the DiNovo Edge look, well, a little plump. The tightly packed keys of the 10-inch Revue keyboard spread out to fill 16 inches on the K750 including a number pad, the keys take on a more angular look, and instead of an oversized Playskool font, the K750 uses a clean, corporate-looking sans serif. We weren’t huge fans of the Revue’s keyboard, but fortunately, the K750 is more like a cousin than a brother. The glossy black top and white trim around the edges make it an obvious relative of the humble Revue keyboard.

The look is largely a matter of taste, but as we’ll get to below, the feel can be quite different.Īs for the rest of the keyboard, anyone acquainted with Logitech’s Revue (the Google TV set-top box) will immediately recognize the K750. Rather than being arranged in a “tray,” the keys pop out of a flush piece of plastic that runs all around them, with squared-off edges like Scrabble tiles instead of the traditional taper. The bigger news here, from a design standpoint, is Logitech’s transition to the Chiclet style of keys, formerly a space-saving style reserved for notebooks (think MacBooks and Sony Vaios). Surrounded by black and situated under a seamless, glossy layer of plastic, they stand out less than you might imagine, but provide all the power the keyboard needs. DesignĪt first glace, some users might not even give second thought to the inch tall strips of solar cells above the keys on the K750.
Like calculators and watches, Logitech’s K750 proves that wireless keyboards make ideal candidates for solar-panel transplants, giving users both convenience and a clear conscience. Until about the third time you have to replace or recharge the batteries in your wireless keyboard, and realize a solar panel would eliminate that need forever. When you have companies slapping solar cells on everything from cell phones to backpacks so they can tie on recycled-cardboard tags with hemp cord, call them green, and charge twice the price, it’s easy to get jaded and dismiss solar gadgets as gimmicks.
