Logitech Launches Neat Solar-Powered Keyboard

If Darkness could power this, it would have enough power to power my house. But its completely useless since it is powered by something nonexistent in my room. I prefer gaming in Darkness as well as all my "other" personal activities.
 
Looks pretty slick, but $80 is a bit steep considering there aren't any multimedia or gaming controls. Also, that glossy finish is nothing but a magnet for fingerprints and scratches.
 



Did you read it can run for 3 months in total darkness? Im sure the 2 minutes of your "other" personal activites and a few hours of gaming would be fine. Still I find the idea a bit silly for a keyboard.
 
For the people who say "I game in the dark"....does that mean you have no monitor on whatsoever, and therefore game in complete darkness? Seriously, the light from a LCD and any other light should be enough to give it some juice.


Sounds like a sweet product. I would complain, but the batteries in this keyboard literally last like 1 year, even when I was gaming.
 
Love it! I have light where I use my PC plenty enough of the time to keep this thing running. How many people use calculators that don't have a solar panel other than high end graphing calculators?
 
alright, honestly this is a great idea, we have so much of those damn pessimists in this community that it's almost becoming like yahoo news.

READ THE FULL F*CKING STORY BEFORE POSTING BS!!!
 
I don't know about you guys, but even though I game in the dark, and there isn't much ambient light in the space genre games I play, the pr0n I watch is filmed during the day, so the monitor is pretty bright in a dark room. There usually isn't much key clicking involved then, so if the keyboard dies, I simply need to watch more pr0n to game longer. See honey, pr0n *is* necessary. That, or hold my flashlight more often and I'll need to watch less pr0n. (Take that how you will)

😉 Pr0n Powered. Best Keyboard evar.
 
I want to see a test :) Claims are one thing, energy saving florescent bulbs another. I know those old solar powered calculators don't work so good with energy saving bulbs.
Will it hold a charge all night? Will it power up and reconnect to my PC when I turn on the light?
 
Me. I want one.

To all naysayers, as had been said before me: read the whole damn story! This thing can last for a month on a single charge.

And to those who are skeptic about late-night gaming sessions, there were (still)some days between nights, last time I checked. So, unless you live in a cave or under a rock, the keyboard is bound to get some juice.
 
I wonder what the latency is for gaming. I would love to get rid of the rats nest but not if it affects my APM :)
