AllQ:
I bought one of these keyboard about two years ago, and the caps lock key does not light up when it is in the caps lock (depressed) position, so it is always a guess whether it is on or off.Also, mine is starting to fail to type, unless I restart it before using it.
Does anybody have similar problems, or solutions?
Thank you.

A:
I figured out that the caps lock will not light when depressed but now I can't keep it in caps lock mode at all. I wonder if I hit something by accident that doesn't allow me to lock it. Also, you have to hit the command keys (caps, option, control and command) twice...once to turn it on, but then you have to turn it off and it's driving me nuts. Anyone have a solution to that?Thank you,

A:
It doesn't have a lighted caps lock indicator, but if you use Logitech's SetPoint software (free download from Logitech.com) Caps Lock On or Off is displayed on your monitor for a couple of seconds whenever you press the Caps Lock key.9 years ago
A:
My friend has one and had the same issue. It's always a guess, but that's the only issue he has so I recently bought one. I haven't noticed if it works or not though.9 years, 1 month ago
A:
My solar Logitech keyboard is fairly new, but the cap lock does not light, no lighted keys--unless your keyboard is specifically lighted keys. Many of the reviews I read before purchasing complained about no indicator of cap lock being on or off. My last keyboard had that, and I found that I used it sometimes, but I found that I really didn't like taking my eyes off my work to check it. It just showed up in my typing, and it was just as quick to simply backspace and correct. See my previous post about reconnecting to the unifying usb. Perhaps that will help. If your keyboard is two years old, I read something about the battery wearing down. I don't know if it can be changed, but that might be something to check out.by

There is no light indicator for the CAPS/NUM/SCROLL keys. I actually like those indicators as well. However, if you install the app from the logitech website, an indicator will work on your monitor which is GREAT!by

Same here, Annie. Not knowing if the cap lock is on is frustrating. If I am typing a password and it is case sensitive, I pop up notepad, type a letter and then I know!Usually it's a matter of not getting enough light on the solar panel that causes it to quit. Turn on your desk light or move keyboard so cells are not shadowed then click power switch off-wait a second then back on. Hope this helps!

I work without any windows and I understand it will work for a while but if I want to charge it, I suppose i'll have to take it home or something. How long does it take then to charge fully?Thanks for any input!

This is to clarify the misinformation about the "non-replaceable" battery - a quick search will show not only can you buy the rechargeable coin battery online, but they even sell the battery caddy if that should be lost, I believe that may even be bundled with a pry tool - there's a slot for it.by

There is no battery it is solar. It comes with an app that tells you how much it is charging and if it needs more light. You can also you light from a lamp, it doesn't have to be sunlight. I just use it and it charges while on my desk. It also comes mostly charged so you can use it right away.by

It doesn't require batteries, as long as you use it close to the solar or day light it will work perfectly. It comes with application which tells you how much time you can work in full dark if it is charged.8 years ago
A:
I don't know how long it takes to fully charge from being completely dead, but I can tell you that I also work in a basement office without windows. I keep my keyboard on 24/7 (even through the night with no light at all) and it always remains completely charged. The keyboard charges perfectly fine just by using your office's artificial light. As long as you work with the lights on most/all of the time, you should never have to take it anywhere else to charge.8 years, 1 month ago
A:
It really doesn't matter the charge level. It works out of the box with its initial charge and charges continually from any light source. It does have a button you can push to see its charge level and how well the current light source is charging the battery but its not something I usually need to worry about. Mine has never run out of charge.8 years, 2 months ago
A:
If you can, get a lamp where you work. I've been able to charge it with a lamp easily and quickly. I don't remember the specific time frame but I do remember knowing it was quicker than I expected (within an hour).8 years, 6 months ago
A:
You don't need windows. It charges using regular indoor lighting. There's a button on the keyboard you can press to tell you how good the light is to charge the keyboard. I'm using as standard indoor light and haven't had any lighting issues.by

At least couple hours. There is enough light in the room or office to keep it fully charged.8 years, 7 months ago
A:
Whether on or off, the keyboard uses ambient light to trickle-charge the small on-board non-replaceable battery. The brighter the light, the better the charge. Upon unpacking my keyboard, it was already at least partially charged. Turned it on and connected via the downloaded 'unifying' software, we were off and running from the git-go. If you are thinking in terms of 'plug it in to charge fully before the first use' like a Bluetooth speaker, this device does not require that time-consuming step. Effectively, this keyboard requires NO time to charge. Just turn on a light and begin working.by

A:
You will definitely need access to light if the keyboard is to stay charged, so a desk lamp should do the trick. There is also a Solar App that will show you your current power status and whether your reserve power is increasing or decreasing. I could not find mention of how long it takes to charge, but any light while you are working should keep the keyboard running for a while.I hope that helps!

A:
If you have had it for awhile, your rechargeable battery is probably getting worn out. Logitech says you can't replace the battery, but you can. It is a little difficult to get out of the keyboard and
you won't find the battery for sale at any retailer, you have to go online to get it. You can watch
videos on YouTube on how to replace it. I just replaced mine, my keyboard works fine now, but
my "Solar App" is having some trouble, maybe because the new battery needs to get charged up
better.

It may be an issue with Windows automatically causing the device to go to sleep after inactivity. Its a common problem with wireless keyboards and mice. You need to go into your Devices settings in Windows, find the items and adjust its settings to no automatically cause the device to sleep. Windows calls its a "power saver" setting or something like that.7 years, 4 months ago
A:
When I first purchased mine, I left it in direct sunlight until it had a very good charge. It has not given any problems.7 years, 9 months ago
A:
Sounds like you may have a defective keyboard or USB receiver. If it's still under warranty you should take it back to Best Buy to get a replacement.8 years, 1 month ago
A:
Did you check your battery status on the top right corner?If the battery level looks good, then you might want to re-install the keyboard driver (assuming you have either a laptop or another keyboard handy) .
Do you have other devices connected to your computer or have a wireless phone in close proximity to your computer? Those could be causing interference between your computer and keyboard.

A:
This means you are getting only a little charge from the battery. Mine did the same thing. It's not necessarily the battery going bad. Others have said the recharging mechanism itself may be an issue as it gets older. My solution is to set it in front of one of those new 100w energy efficient bulbs. Let it sit there for about an hour and it'll be okay for the rest of the day. Then set it there overnight to try and fully recharge it. Download the free Solar App from Logitech. It'll show you if you do have enough light or not. I was surprised when it showed me my room didn't have enough light after all this time. It will also show you how much charge is in the battery.by

This sounds like a faulty product. Your experience is quite different from mine, even though my keyboard is partly shaded. (It sits in a tray a bit under my desk top.)9 years ago
A:
I had a similar problem. What fixed it for me was moving the USB wireless adapter to a different location, it seems that something was causing interference with the signal. Once I moved it to my USB hub everything started working just fine.9 years, 2 months ago
A:
If the keyboard needs turning off and on consistently, my guess is the unifying usb (Setpoint) is getting interrupted. Try reconnecting through Setpoint. Start-All Programs-Logitech-SetPoint-Unifying Logitech Software. Follow the instructions to re-connect. Also, perhaps there is some kind of interference between the keyboard and usb. Try moving the unifying usb connector to another usb hub.by

Really no difference, the yellow Function keys were just an older model. The newer model has the blue function keys.5 years, 3 months ago
A:
As far as I can tell the difference is that Logitech changed their logo and also the color of the function keys. I purchased at Best Buy recently (past 3 weeks) and got the new logo and blue function keys. It seems that the picture is of the model with the older logo, but the model number is identical.by

Yes, any light seems sufficient. I have four of them and have never had a dead battery. You could turn it off at night or weekends if its an issue. The solar panels charge it rapidly.4 years, 2 months ago
A:
That should be fine. Mine is near - but not real near - an outside window, so it mostly gets light from a halogen desk lamp. It's gone 7 years in that setup without losing power.4 years, 2 months ago
A:
Yes, it will. Mine is being fully charged by fluorescent light.4 years, 3 months ago
A:
Yes, I’ve used the keyboard under led and fluorescent lights for 7 years, even outside at Starbucks under only fair illumination and it is powered. A desk lamp could probably power it as long as the light hits the solar panels.4 years, 7 months ago

No, it will not charge the keyboard.4 years, 7 months ago

I bought an extra usb for the logitech 750 because I lost the one it came with. Anyone know how I can pair it?by

10 months ago
A:
You can get extra USB nubs. You can purchase a cheap mouse if you can't find one on eBay. Just make sure it has that Unifying transceiver symbol on it. I have connected multiple Logitech devices to a single PC (keyboard and mouse) with a single nub, but I have not tried connecting one keyboard to two PCs so I don't know for-sure if that will work. However, the USB nub is not uniquely paired to devices it ships with, they are generic.3 years, 3 months ago
A:
Hello Perry. The K750 can only be paired with a single receiver. You can purchase a second unifying receiver (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/unifying-receiver-usb?crid=7), but you will have to go through the re-pairing process each time you want to switch.3 years, 4 months ago

I have a Logitech wireless mouse which works just fine with the solar keyboard receiver. .7 years, 9 months ago
A:
I have a logitech MX mouse and I am able to use both my keyboard and mouse with the same receiver. In order for the device to work it would need to have the unifying symbol which looks like a star inside a square box. I have attached an image I found online of what I am talking about. If you want to use a single usb receiver for multiple devices, they will need to have this symbol which is usually there now in pretty much any new logitech device. Unfortunately, it looks like your model may not be compatible. You will have to use 2 receivers. The software for the unifying receiver can be downloaded from here: http://support.logitech.com/en_us/software/unifyingImages for this Answer

If the mouse has the logitech unifying symbol on it then they will work with one dongle. You just need to turn it off and then on for them to connect to the same dongle.by

From my experience with the keyboard, I had no problem with any Logitech mouse that I tried to pair with the keyboard. As far as I know there isn't a compatibility list for this combo set but I'm quite sure you shouldn't have any problems with pairing the two.8 years, 3 months ago
A:
I cannot answer specifically to your mouse but what I do know is that you need to have a universal mouse for it to work. My old mouse was not universal so I had to get a new one for this keyboard.8 years, 6 months ago
A:
The receiver that comes with it allows other wireless input devices to share a single connection. You have to go to the Logitech website and download the software to do so but once it is installed you shouldn't have a problem.

I would NOT recommend this keyboard for gaming. I don't know about the response time, but it has issues registering certain key combinations. For example, it does not register if you press the Up, Left and A keys at the same time. And I can think of MANY games that require that exact combination.by

I use this keyboard mostly for work, but I have done some gaming with it. I have never noticed any lag or performance issues while using this keyboard. I am sure that an actual gaming keyboard will have a faster connection speed, but I don't think you'll notice any difference unless you are used to using an extremely nice gaming keyboard.8 years, 1 month ago
A:
Yeah, I use it for LOL, Overwatch, SC2, CounterStrike, Battlefield, Oregon Trail, etc.Some would argue that a wired mechanical keyboard is the best and only gaming keyboard option, but this all really just comes down to preference.
I've never had response time issues with this keyboard.
8 years, 2 months ago
A:
Response time hasn't been much of an issue for me, but make sure the receiver isn't hidden away. It works great in a USB 3.0 hub under my monitor, but occasionally misses characters when it is behind my tower on my desk.by

A:
I'm not a gamer, so I cannot provide a definitive answer. I can only say that the Logitech K750 is sufficiently fast so as to satisfy any normal keyboard user in the real world. Though it is durable, I don't think I would recommend this keyboard for a traveling road show. It is full-sized, and has no bank of 'gaming' keys, and also relies on reasonable ambient light for power. For travel, Logitech model K800 is a reduced-size keyboard that might be more appropriate for a road trip. The K800 is not solar-powered, however, and instead uses widely available replaceable batteries. I nearly bought the smaller K800, but since I did not intend to travel with it, the K750 solar model was the best choice for me.by
