Today, we’re excited to announce the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760, the latest addition to our popular line of solar keyboards. Following our full-sized Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for PC or Mac, and our recently announced Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio for iPad, the new Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is the perfect companion to all your Apple devices, whether Mac, iPad or iPhone.
When we released the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for the Mac last fall, some customers let us know they wanted a solar keyboard that used a Bluetooth wireless connection. Well, we listened. Three different devices can be kept paired via the easy-switching Bluetooth connection. You can quickly and easily switch from your Mac to your iPad with the press of a button. Switching back is just as easy. This has really come in handy for me as I go from the Mac on my desktop to my iPad for meetings.
The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is specifically designed for all your Apple products. It has Command, Eject, Brightness and Volume keys just where you’d expect them. And the dedicated Home key works just the same as the built-in Home button on your iPad or iPhone.
Like our other solar keyboards, the onboard cells are charged by any light, indoors or out. Never bother with carrying an extra charging cord or replacing batteries. This is especially handy when using the keyboard on the go.
Check out the video below to see this new keyboard in action, and let us know in the comments what you think.

Hi, I’m assuming it can be paired with other bluetooth devices such as a Playstation 3? Or is it really only able to connect with Apple devices? Being able to switch the same keyboard between my iMac, PS3 and iPhone would be stellar!
Logitech | June 2nd, 2012 at 06:41
Hi Erik, the keyboard is not currently compatible with the Playstation 3.
Renan Lazarotto | May 30th, 2012 at 11:11
This will be compatible with Android? And with Windows? Will you release a edition with numeric keys? This will be avalible in Brazil? Thanks!
Logitech | June 8th, 2012 at 16:09
Unfortunately, the K760 is only compatible with Mac, iPad and iPhone. You will also need Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or later. Sorry, no Windows.

This is great, now how about a black non bluetooth Windows version that supports Unifying in this same exact size?
I was on the fence of purchasing a K750 to use in combination with my M705 but since it was going to be used at work and im always on the move i couldn’t be bothered with the size of it.
Personally, i use a K800 and Performance Mouse MX at home, love them

I just don’t get it. You make a solar keyboard for the PC, you make a solar keyboard for the mac, now you make a solar keyboard for the mac/iPad. Why not ADD PC compatibility? There is not enough room on the desk for a PC keyboard and a mac/iPad keyboard.
I use the Microsoft wireless keyboard 800 – cause it works with both PC/Mac. I’m just going to order a solar panel from Amazon and attach it so I can finally go solar.

Really, really cool keyboard!
Could it be possible if you make a wider version with a seperate numpad? Apple ditches the extra numerical keys but i love them for quick entering data.

Wow. Thus is weird. Last night my apple wireless keypad needed batteries and the space bar button fell off (“fell” meaning my 18 month old son ripped it off). AND I spent 10 bucks on an app to type directly to my iPad and iPhone via bt from my Mac cause I got fed up answering clients SMS msgs and using 3 keyboards within 3 seconds constantly. Wtf. So I see this. Thanks. BUT I NEED IT NOW it’s so pretty. I’m in new York city where can I get it this morning? Does t seem to be available…

Hi! Looking for a keyboard for my ipad/itouch. Largely agree with having cross platform compatibility, that would be awesome. I’m curious though, what are the dimensions? I’m investigating getting this and a case/stand for this. My ipad already has a speck cover which I love but this would be a good addition if I can match it with something. I’m thinking the Incase Origami Workstation http://store.apple.com/ca/product/H6353ZM/A#tech-specs any thoughts/suggestions? ….and dimensions? please!
thanks

The K760 would be on my “must have” list, but not being able to use it in Windows is a dealbreaker. Truly, with Bootcamp as amazing as it is, it no longer makes sense for “Mac Only” input devices…Macs run Windows better than Windows PCs! The only reason one even NEEDS a “real” PC these days is for gaming.
I have an iPhone, an iPad 3, a 27″ iMac and an 11″ MacBook Air (which I also use sometimes with Bootcamp/Windows 7), but I just don’t find the K760 keyboard a compelling purchase without Windows support for Bootcamp and my gaming PC.
My 27″ iMac lives in Bootcamp mode 99% of the time so I can use my beloved Windows-only Input Director KVM software, which allows me to move instantly and seemlessly between my dual-monitor gaming PC and my iMac. Yes, there’s Synergy, but it isn’t even in the same ballpark; it doesn’t offer the Logitech compatibility that lets me use my G13, G19 and G700 with full functionality across both machines.
Finally, is the keyboard plastic, or aluminum? For $79 I hope it’s not plastic.
Logitech | June 6th, 2012 at 16:07
We appreciate your feedback and will pass your suggestion along to our team. The keyboard is made out of quality eco-friendly plastic that maintains a premium feel. Thanks!

This keyboard is exactly what I have been looking for given that it pairs perfectly with my portable iOS devices. But I am surprised that it does not include a travel case as it just begs for one, ala the Logitech tablet keyboard and case for iPad.

I have searched for the answer to my one question and cannot find it anywhere online including here,…but just ‘When’ does this keyboard actually charge up,…..(?) Does it charge with the on-off button on,…or when it is off???? Please could someone answer me??
Does the button have to be on,…or can a person leave it off and sit it in the Sun and still have it recharge??? Thanks for anyone getting back to me! Sincerely,…gary
Logitech | July 11th, 2012 at 14:15
Sorry for the late response Gary. The keyboard will recharge regardless of whether the on/off switch is on/off.

Not having great luck w/this keyboard. I turn my computer off each night, and the next morning — whether I have left the keyboard turned on or off — my MAC can’t find it, and I have to ‘discover’ it all over again. But even worse, I left my computer alone around noon today and didn’t return to it till about 5:30 PM this evening. And, my MAC couldn’t find the keyboard again! Why did the computer ‘lose’ it during the afternoon?

I have paired my K760 to an Ipad 2, Ipad 1 and Google Nexus 7. Yes, it works fine with the Nexus 7 (I’m using the keyboard and a Nexus 7 now). Some Apple-specific buttons like brightness control, command and show on-screen keyboard don’t work. Escape key and volume up and down keys work great. This keyboard has a user replaceable re-chargeable battery (AAA size NiMH). So basically, unlike the Apple products, you can use this keyboard for life!

The old K750 keyboard was about 99% there — full-size, Mac layout, wireless, that cool-looking solar feature — but suffered from one fatal flaw; it required a receiver. Since a common problem with Apple design is that they often only give you two USB ports or so, not eating up half of your USB ports is a big reason to go wireless in the first place. I’m extremely pleased to see that Logitech’s latest solar Mac keyboard supports Bluetooth, but unfortunately, it appears to be available in a laptop size only, just like Apple’s Bluetooth keyboard. If Logitech were to offer a full-sized version of the K760 Bluetooth keyboard, I’d finally have a good replacement for my aging Apple 2005 Bluetooth keyboard, and I suspect many other people who do a lot of typing would appreciate the option as well. Please consider adding a full-size version of the K760 — if you do, I’ll buy it.

Why can’t the device have support for windows 7? I bought this device expecting that it would be windows compatible, but it’s not and it’s giving me lots of headache when I boot windows through bootcamp.
Please add windows support. I would greatly appreciate it.
Other than windows support the device works fine except that the brightness adjustment keys don’t work on ipads.

Hello Logitech, have you passed along the suggestion of James? That will this ever have support for Windows 7 bootcamp or not? or you’ll pass this too along again. It’s just a simple a Yes or No question. Will this K760 will have an update in the (hopefully) near future to support windows 7 bootcamp or not?
Yes or No?
Which is which? I hope you’re answer will not be passing along anymore. Nothing will happen if you keep passing. Looking forward for the answer so I can pass along this keyboard back to bestbuy. Thanks.

I keep coming back hoping that there would be an update for windows. But there isn’t
I think this would be a perfect keyboard if it did have windows support cuz I bought this keyboard when I got sick of changing batteries on the keyboard from Apple. And seeing that no other keyboard out there has switchable bluetooth capability or solar power, this WOULD be a keyboard like no other. It kind of saddens me since it falls short of being so perfect.
