welcome to my unboxing and first look at logitech's K750 Logitech wireless solar keyboard
0:13
Works in daylight lamp light and no
0:17
light so not only is it solar powered but like you know how you have those
0:21
calculators in elementary school and you're like you know oh yeah maybe if I
0:26
just get like the angle just right towards the window then like it'll work
0:29
and stuff and uh that was a real hassle
0:34
well nowadays solar technology they have figured out can
0:39
augment Battery Technology amazing right so the keyboard
0:45
comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to I think it's some
0:49
ridiculous period of time
0:52
like up to 3 months in total darkness
0:56
and then just sits and charges while it does have access to light it uses is
1:00
their unifying receiver which means you only have to have one dongle plugged
1:03
into your computer and you can have up to six Logitech devices that support it
1:07
uh plugged in at the same time there it is cleaning cloth included
1:13
bam unifying receiver is down here and
1:18
oh that's kind of neat so it comes with just an extender this is not the
1:21
unifying receiver this tiny micro USB right here is the receiver but you can
1:25
do that if you want to get a little bit further away from some interference out
1:28
of the back of the case or or uh or you
1:31
know if you want to be able to remove it from your motherboard more easily then you can throw it on that that's kind of
1:36
neat okay uh what else do they have to say for themselves about this guy
1:40
elegant thin profile yeah definitely eco-friendly PVC free construction
1:44
framed keys for your modern setup whatever that means I think they mean
1:48
chicklet Keys is that what they're trying to say I think that's what they're trying to say 2.4 gigz Feels
1:54
Good Very Thin powered by light plug it forget it add to it the unifying
1:59
Receiver right so just throw that in there and then you can syn as many
2:02
Logitech devices as you want this is actually really nice so see okay guys
2:06
you can see there's a little bit of flex to it not much though all things
2:10
considered check out how thin this is it's very heavy now that comes with the
2:14
territory with the battery that's included as well as the solar cells that
2:18
are included it comes with a protective plastic covering so let's go ahead and
2:22
take that off it also has an onoff switch although
2:26
given that it runs for months on battery life and runs on light and if you're not
2:32
like the biggest basement dweller ever
2:36
then light probably exists in your Universe uh this is probably going to
2:41
connect the battery this is indicating the onoff
2:45
switch oh no way okay so let's turn it on check that out that means it's
2:51
charging that means it's not see I can
2:54
check is it charging is it not oh you know what we should do we should like we
2:59
should cover the solar cells and then we should try and get it
3:02
to uh we should try and get it to not be charging and then we'll see if that's
3:06
actually what it is cuz I'm guessing right now yeah see
3:10
bam so now you can tell is it running on battery is it not running on battery oh
3:16
so cool okay the back of it it's fairly straightforward you got your uh Little
3:20
Feet here so you can actually
3:23
um do that which sort of
3:28
self-explanatory and let's see how it feels hello how are you today this is
3:33
actually not bad for a
3:36
mebr keyboard and yeah I'm impressed in
3:42
terms of layout long shift Keys long enter long backspace so no complaints
3:46
there function keys are handled so one Windows key one function key wouldn't
3:50
have minded seeing those reversed especially if you're going to use it for games although it's not exactly a gaming
3:54
keyboard but your function keys give you access to home mail search calculator
3:58
love that I love in fact I prefer a dedicated button for calculator because
4:02
calculator is important to me um music which I think what they mean to say is
4:06
play and pause oh no there it is play okay oh I guess that just launches your
4:10
music application forward back play pause volume controls as well as
4:14
powering the PC on and off all these are
4:17
correct sometimes you see like a long delete and like inserts gone and like
4:22
somewhere else is a function key or some ghetto thing like that but no everything
4:25
looks good layout wise the CHL Keys have a bit of a roundedness to them I want to
4:29
get you guys kind of a better angle can you see that can you see they're not
4:32
flat so what that means is it can can can you okay so what that means is that
4:37
you can actually quite easily find the center of the key while you're typing
4:41
it's difficult to it's difficult to demonstrate but I you guys will just
4:45
have to kind of take my word for it it feels it actually feels pretty good and
4:48
you can hear there's there's some tactile response to
4:53
the keyboard because it's so thin there's no flex to it whatsoever which
4:57
is the the actually the secret to a chicklet keyboard because that's where
5:01
you run into trouble with these chicklet keyboards on laptops when they're using
5:05
just an inadequate shell and there's a lot of flex to the keyboard they're very
5:08
uncomfortable to type on but as long as they're nice and rigid like for example
5:12
on the MacBooks where they have the aluminum base for it then it feels
5:15
really really good so it's uh it's kind of an either horrible or great sort of
5:19
experience rubber feed on the bottom keep it from slipping around so if I
5:23
were to do this it would stop and I
5:26
think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the
5:30
K750 which is actually just kind of the
5:33
smartest thing ever because it's just Wireless and batteryless and should be
5:38
pretty much the last keyboard you ever need which is bad for ncx I guess
5:42
because we still want to sell you keyboards but uh good for you
