If you’re a person of a certain age (oh boy), you might remember that basic calculators used to run on handy little solar cells and almost never ran out of power. Logitech has tried this for wireless keyboards a few times—most recently the K750—but a leaked retail listing shows that a new one is on the way with an even sleeker design.
An Amazon Mexico listing was briefly spotted by Tom’s Hardware for the “Logitech Signature Slim Solar+.” According to the now-deleted listing, this variant features a full-sized layout (that means it has a 10-key number pad), a sleek body made from 70 percent recycled plastic, and a shockingly light 700-gram (1.5-pound) weight. Its internal battery can last for up to 10 years recharging via the solar panel above the key area, which can get its juice from natural or artificial light.
It’s packing the usual features for a Logitech keyboard these days, including connectivity with up to three wireless devices simultaneously, at least some programming options via the Logi Options+ software, and a USB-C dongle in the box. Pricing for this new design isn’t currently known, but if an Amazon listing was prepared before being scuppered, it can’t be too far away from a release.
