A:
This Logitech Solar Keyboard does in fact have a battery - ʻit’s rechargeble which is done via the solar receiving panelson the unit.
The battery is ML 2032. It looks identical to the CR 2032 but it’s not the same. It has different properties, b/c it’s
rechargable.
The housing is a small compartment on the back of the keyboard along the top just left of center. you’ll need tweezers or
aʻ small plier or flathead screwdriver to pop open the battery drawer - it’s DIFFICULT - but can be done.

Please read "Logitech K750 Keyboard ML2032 to CR2032 battery replacement ("https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Logitech+K750+Keyboard+ML2032+to+CR2032+battery+replacement/49181). CR2032 and ML2032 are incompatible. Users are highly cautioned to not replace ML2032 with CR2032. Thank you.by

A:
The battery seems to be a standard 2032 battery; is it a rechargeable variant? Logitech's tech support KB says yes. Further research suggests that it's virtually impossible to buy a rechargeable 2032. Regardless, it's a bit of a hassle pulling the battery carrier out. Impossible without inflicting some cosmetic damage.
So in that regard, it's true. You never have to worry about batteries. Even if you want to.

I don't think it needs a battery....solar powered.7 years, 10 months ago
A:
Logitech will not allow you to replace the battery. A tech guy tried and it worked only a day. Keep your receipt. You can send it back to them within the warranty which I believe is 3 years. You have to put it under lights to charge it. Look for the app on itunes--it'll show you the light in the room and the level of charge.7 years, 11 months ago

There was an issue with the batteries on some of the earlier models. I thought that I needed to replace the battery. I called Logitech and they informed me of the defect, said there was no need to get a replacement battery, and sent me out a whole new keyboard.by

Good question. I've yet to need one. If I did I'd check the Logitech website or bring the battery to a battery expert such as Batteries Plus. This is not an endorsement, just me sharing how I'd go about it.by

Q:
I prefer white keyboards because the letters are easier to see than on a black keyboard at least for me. I know they make a similar keyboard for PC's in black but I seem to remember reading somewhere that someone tried this Mac keyboard and other Mac keyboards on PC's and they work. Has anyone tried this one on a PC? Thanks.by

Yes, it works on a Mac or PC. It's really just a matter of different colors and a command key as opposed to a windows key. If you use the Mac-version of the keyboard, you'll just have to remember the function of the differently labeled key.7 years, 2 months ago

I have used it on my work PC which is a 2010 Dell with Windows 7. So, I'm sure it is compatible with whatever you have.7 years, 5 months ago
A:
I haven't tried the Mac keyboard with a PC but I did do the reverse (PC keyboard with a Mac) for about 2 1/2 years and it worked fine other than having a few different dedicated keys. Since I was using it with a laptop, this didn't pose a problem as I could use that keyboard on the rare times I wanted a Mac specific key. Your plan should work...by

It does work on a PC. The one I just bought and connected works fine, even the special function keys (that are applicable for PCs) map as expected out of the box.OTH, I'm taking mine back. I thought the build quality was terrible. If you have bluetooth on your PC, buy a real Apple keyboard. You'll thank me.

A:
Yes, I use this keyboard on a PC and it does work. The 'CMD', or 'Command' key is the same as the 'Windows' key. There are 2 'Delete' keys on this keyboard: the large 'Delete' key is the same as the 'Backspace' key on the PC's keyboard(erase to the left of the cursor), and the small 'Delete' key is the same as the 'Delete' key on the PC's keyboard (erase to the right of the cursor).8 years, 8 months ago
A:
It will work definitely. I have both the tethered Apple keyboard and mouse and they both work. You just have to get used to some of the keys because they are not marked like a Window Keyboard. I hope this helps...by

I regularly use the mac version on my PC -- especially because this version doesn't suffer from power-saving issues like the black one which shuts off regularly and needs to be switched off and then on again. The white/silver version has a better build quality to match the Mac, the keys feel better and overall it's everything the black version should have been -- you just have to get used to using the command/option keys as your windows/alt keys.9 years, 1 month ago
A:
Generally Mac products will not be compatible with PCs, but some are. Keyboards specifically have a slightly different key layout and therefore incompatibility issues may be present.9 years, 1 month ago

Hey, Mak. Check out my review on this keyboard. In short, yes it will function with the new USB-C only MacBook Pros, however, I have begun having issues with mine. Unfortunately, I don't know if the issues are a result of the adapter connection, of just issues among logitech's design. Overall, I have enjoyed this keyboard and as of now would continue to recommend it for 2017 MacBook Pro users.6 years, 2 months ago
A:
This keyboard only comes with a USB Unifying (connector). I would think that you will need to purchase an adapter or a usb hub so that you can plug it into your MAC. I have a 2015 MAC Book Pro that I am now using with a full size keyboard & monitor. I have the Unifying plugged into a multi port hub and the keyboard works almost perfectly. I found that I need to move the hub slightly closer to the keyboard.I added a couple of examples of the adapters that Best Buy carries.
Hope this helps.

The lamps let you know if you have a natural light source present. The happy face = Yes, there's natural light. The sad face = No, you don't have a natural light source.7 years, 8 months ago
A:
If you press the lamp button and the green LED next to the smiley face lights up, the solar cells have enough light. If the red LED lights up the solar cells aren't able to charge the keyboard. Works in low light for me.

Press the key to launch the "solar app" on your computer to see how your solar powered battery is doing. Similarly, the lamps light up on the keyboard itself with either the :-) are the :-( to let you know how your power is doing. The solar cells work quite well and I've never had a problem keeping my keyboard powered in a moderately lit room.by

When you press the button, the lights tell you if the keyboard is getting enough light to charge.8 years, 1 month ago
A:
When the 'Lamp' button is pressed, the 'Smiley' face light indicator will lit up green if there is ample light on the keyboard (to charge the solar cells). However, if there is not enough light on the keyboard, the 'Sad' face light indicator will lit up red.8 years, 8 months ago
A:
I think you're referring to the keyboard power indicator.8 years, 10 months ago
A:
I think I know what you're asking... The lamp button when pushed will either light the smiley face or the sad face. Smiley and a green light mean the keyboard has enough light to charge. The sad face and a red light means it needs more light.by

A:
If you're talking about the key and and LED lights above the calculator pad, you use those to test and see if the light your keyboard is getting is enough to keep it going. Push the key with the circle with rays coming off of it and either the green LED to the right lights up briefly, meaning it's getting enough light, or the red LED lights up briefly, meaning not enough light. I only check it once in a while if the room is getting darker, etc... like in the evening. Then I just turn on my desk lamp and continue.by

One is to activate the app for the current amount of light currently charging and also how much reserve battery power remains. The on/off switch just turns off the unit, similar to a switch on the bottom of a laptop mouse. I leave it on when not is use and it doesn't drain the battery at all.9 years ago
A:
This is to let you know if the keyboard is charged or needs a little juice. It will show green if it is charged up enough and red if not. If you see it red, just hold it up to a light or set it in sunlight for about 5 minutes (that is what I did) and you should be back to green.Hope that helps.

A:
It comes with a Unifying Receiver, which you can pair with up to 6 other compatible Logitech accessories. I know for sure you can get one of this little dongles for next to nothing on Amazon. I'm not sure if they sell them @ Best Buy store, I'm sure they do. If you aren't sure if the 'dongle' you are purchasing is compatible, just look for the orange square with black star like symbol, which represents that Unifying Receiver.

The Logitech K750 wireless receiver is a Unifying Receiver (the Unifying logo looks like a 6-pointed gear in an orange square). According to Logitech, the Unifying Receiver will work with any Logitech device displaying the Unifying logo. The cheapest and easiest way to find a replacement Unifying Receiver is to buy a Logitech mouse that comes with it, because the price for just the receiver is around $15.Images for this Answer

Dont even bother buying an adapter.Buy Logitech M325 mouse instead. it comes with same unifying adapter. you can use it for up to 6 devices. pairing is very easy. and now you have a free mouse.

Has solar power. Had mine 6 months and yet to replace the batteries.6 years, 11 months ago
A:
1. No you cannot connect this keyboard via bluetooth. The Logitech keyboard uses a unifying reciever.2. If you mean adjust the brightness of the Computer monitor yes, the F1 & F2 keys adjust the display brightness. The keyboard is not backlit.
3. No, the battery lasts an incredibly long time, the keyboard uses solar power to charge the battery, even in minimal light situations.

A:
1) I don't think it works without the proprietary USB dongle2) Yes, you can adjust the brightness, sound, and other Mac features. Including laughing mission control.
3) Battery life is Great! I never have any issues with the solar panels not fully recharging the batteries.
4) I've only had my new keyboard for about 6 weeks. So far, I've not had to change any batteries. And from the way it is working, it won't need any battery changes any time soon. I've never ran out of power. The Solar panels keep the batteries charged all the time

A:
I can not tell what the F13, F14, or F15 keys do? The half sun button to the right of the F15 key is used to indicate if the keyboard is low or fully charged. If you press the button and the led by the smile is green, it is charged. If the led by the frown is red, it needs charging.7 years, 3 months ago
A:
It's supposed to indicate if there is enough light in the environment to charge the keyboard7 years, 5 months ago
A:
I do not know the answer to the first question, but the button to the right of the F15 key checks the charge on the keyboard. You will notice to its right is a smily face and a frown. When you press the button, a green light comes on indicating adequate charge (smily face). Inadequate charge is the lower red light.7 years, 6 months ago
A:
Not sure what the F13, 14, and 15 keys do but the key to the right of the F15 key shows you if the keyboard is receiving enough light, hence the happy and frowny faces.7 years, 8 months ago
A:
By default (in OS 10.11.5 El Capitan), the F14 & F15 keys are redundant in that they change screen brightness - the same as F1 & F2. You can change that in System Prefs, under Keyboard>Shortcuts. You can uncheck them and reassign F14 & F15 to something else (find an item you want to change, click on the F-key text and type the actual F-key or combine with modifier keys.The key to the right of F15, as stated in previous Q&A's, is an indicator of sufficient / insufficient light for charging. If it lights green, you have sufficient light for charging. If it lights red, there is not enough light for charging. The "Solar App" on Apple's App Store is tied to the button. When launched (by clicking the button), it indicates level of charge currently in the battery as well as a light meter measuring Lux for current charging.
