Logitech Launches Signature Slim Solar+ K980, a Light-Powered Keyboard With No Charging Port

LightCharge harvests indoor illumination to keep the full-size board powered without cables.

Overview

  • The keyboard is available globally today for $99.99 for consumer models and $109.99 for the Business edition, with a Mac-only variant offered in North America.
  • Logitech cites operation from artificial light at roughly 200 lux, up to four months of use in total darkness after a full charge, and a battery lifespan of up to 10 years.
  • There is no USB charging or wired fallback and no backlighting, with power and light status surfaced through the Logi Options+ app rather than on-device gauges.
  • The full-size layout supports Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS, pairs with up to three Bluetooth devices, and adds customizable F-keys, an Action key, and an AI Launch key.
  • The Business edition includes a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver and Sync fleet management, and a Logitech spokesperson says the battery is safely user-replaceable with iFixIt-supplied parts.
