"Just like the K760 before it, its new $99.99 Signature Slim Solar Plus K980 can only be powered with light. There's no USB port or swappable batteries. Instead, it features a cell that can convert solar or artificial light - 200 lux at minimum - into power to charge its battery, which the company says will last for up to 10 years."
"I asked Logitech if the K980's battery is user-replaceable, and spokesperson Melvin Dilanchian told The Verge that it is "safely user-replaceable (because it's encased in a plastic casing), with spare parts supplied by iFixIt." Beyond its solar charging capabilities, the K980 has a pretty standard full-size layout, with Windows and macOS key labels, directional keys, and a numpad."
Logitech's Signature Slim Solar Plus K980 is a full-size wireless keyboard that charges exclusively from light, requiring at least 200 lux of sunlight or artificial illumination. The keyboard costs $99.99 and omits a USB port and conventional swappable cells, relying on an internal rechargeable battery designed to last up to ten years. A full charge supports up to four months of use in complete darkness. The battery is encased and described as safely user-replaceable, with spare parts supplied by iFixIt. The K980 offers a standard layout with Windows and macOS key labels, directional keys, a numpad, and a function row preprogrammed for media, brightness, and volume with customizable secondary features.
