Jumping on the ecologically friendly bandwagon is Logitech, which, hot on the heels of Philips's solar-powered remote control, has released a solar-powered keyboard. Not only does it do away the need for battery or cable power altogether, but it's also made from PVC-free materials and comes with completely recyclable packaging, with the idea that it will lower your carbon footprint (even if by just a teensy amount).
They keyboard features solar panels that grab any available light, including the light from tungsten or fluorescent bulbs. A handy solar panel app lets you know the status of the keyboard, and it is completely wireless, allowing you to rush outside with it if you start running out of power.
When fully charged the keyboard can run in complete darkness for up to three months. It also features Logitech's "incurve" keys, which are designed to be easier on the fingertips.
"They keyboard is still the best input device for typing emails and Ims, updating your Facebook page or posting responses to your favorite blogs - and the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 is the next big innovation in keyboard technology," said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech's keyboards and desktops.
The device, which is in no way a novelty, should be in shops a few weeks before Christmas with a retail price of $169.
