Logitech just dropped something pretty wild: a keyboard that never needs charging. The new Signature Slim Solar+ K980 launched today for $99, and it’s powered entirely by light including your desk lamp or ceiling fixture. This isn’t Logitech’s first solar keyboard rodeo (they tried this 15 years ago), but this time they’ve nailed it with tech that can keep the thing running for up to 4 months in complete darkness. No charging cables, no battery swaps, no dead keyboard ruining your morning.

The secret behind this Logitech solar keyboard lies in their new LightCharge technology, which needs just 200 lux of ambient light to stay topped up. That’s basically any desk lamp or overhead light. The company rates the built-in battery for 10 years before needing replacement. However, what’s a bit concerning is that there’s literally no charging port on this thing. Logitech must be pretty confident it won’t need one.

Beyond the solar gimmick, it’s a solid full-size keyboard with number pad, laptop-style keys, and multi-device switching between three gadgets. You can customize shortcuts through Logitech’s Options+ app, and there’s even an AI button for launching ChatGPT or whatever assistant you prefer.

The timing feels right too. Remote work means more people need reliable desk setups, and wireless keyboards dying mid-meeting annoys everyone. This Logitech solar keyboard solves that problem while staying surprisingly eco-friendly with 70% recycled plastic construction.

At $99, it sits right between Logitech’s basic wireless keyboards and their premium MX lineup. If you’re tired of hunting for charging cables or dealing with dead batteries, this solar-powered approach might actually make sense. You can buy it now from Logitech and other major retailers.
