Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750Rs: 5,995
Even those of us who talk about going green and saving the environment use gadgets that are not earth friendly. So, if you are ready for a green plunge,
Logitech has the K750, a wireless solar keyboard.
SPEEDY MOUSE
{mosimage}The latest from Portronics is a wireless mouse named imooze. Priced at Rs 799, this mouse has been elegantly designed without using cheap plastic. The one we received looked nice in white and pink. There are black-blue and black-orange options too. There is also a slot for holding the USB receiver dongle. A slider at the bottom turns the mouse on/off.
The imooze is comfortable to use and comes with four DPI settings ranging from 500 to 1750 DPI, making it ideal for artists and gamers. To prevent battery wastage, the mouse goes into sleep mode when not in use for some time. It springs back to life at the first click. |
The K750 comes with a
Bluetooth dongle that plugs into a PC's USB port. The sleek wireless keyboard has two solar panels on the top, just above the Function keys. The keyboard derives its energy from natural sunlight as well as artificial indoor light. An off/on slider has been added to store the charge within the keyboard.
There is a charging indicator with smileys to show the status of the charge. When used with the Solar App specially designed for the
keyboard, it shows the lux level of the light source using which the keyboard is getting charged as well as the battery reserve status.
The K750 is a full keyboard, and typing on it is comfortable. Interestingly, the Function keys have shortcuts assigned to them. For instance, the F2 has a message icon that opens Outlook, while the F4 launches calculator, etc. However, a Caps Lock indicator, common in even entry level keyboards now, is missing on the device.
BAG IT OR JUNK IT? Good looking, easy to use and environment friendly, but seriously overpriced.
