Tag: Signature Slim Solar+ K980

Logitech's Signature Slim Solar+ K980 wireless keyboard, announced in late September, is officially available in Taiwan today (October 20th). The suggested retail price is NT$3490, and it is sold through all Logitech channels in Taiwan. Utilizing innovative Logi LightCharge technology, the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 can draw power from any light source, providing a perpetually uninterrupted wireless typing experience. Combined with AI shortcut keys and multi-device switching functionality, it offers a more environmentally friendly and efficient solution for modern office environments. The keyboard's most distinctive feature is its light-charging technology, which continuously absorbs sunlight or indoor light and automatically charges. According to Logitech, even in complete darkness, a full charge can last up to four months, while the built-in intelligent power management system effectively conserves power, eliminating battery anxiety for users. In terms of sustainable design, the K980 keyboard chassis is made from certified post-consumer recycled plastic, with up to 70% of it being recycled. It also features a dedicated rechargeable battery with a lifespan of up to 10 years, further reducing the environmental impact of discarded batteries and fulfilling Logitech's commitment to sustainable design. The typing experience and design utilize a scissor-switch mechanism combined with a full-size numeric keypad, providing a laptop-like quiet and smooth typing feel. The design continues Logitech's minimalist aesthetic, with an ultra-thin body and smooth lines that blend seamlessly into modern workspaces. For smart features and multitasking, the K980 supports Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS, and allows for seamless switching between these devices with a single click via the Easy-Switch function. Notably, the keyboard incorporates AI features, allowing users to customize shortcuts and Smart Actions to launch generative AI assistants such as Copilot, Gemini, or ChatGPT with a single click, enhancing work efficiency. The Enterprise Edition offers exclusive features for enterprise users. Logitech also offers a Business Edition, which includes a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver to ensure stable, encrypted connections in high-density wireless environments. Through the Logitech Sync management platform, IT teams can centrally monitor device status and firmware versions, simplifying maintenance processes. The Enterprise Edition also supports up to 23 customizable key bindings and an AI-powered start button, enhancing employee productivity without increasing management burden.

Logitech has announced the new Signature Slim Solar+ K980 wireless keyboard, which uses light as its primary energy source and is compatible with multiple devices. Compared to previous wireless keyboards that relied solely on USB-C charging or battery replacement, this keyboard can be charged by any light source and can even last up to four months in complete darkness. Unlike the common perception that "solar energy" relies solely on sunlight for power, the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 can effectively recharge itself as long as the light intensity reaches 200 lux (approximately equivalent to the brightness of dim daylight). Therefore, whether in the office, at home, or even in a coffee shop, as long as there is light, the keyboard will automatically and continuously charge, meaning users will almost never have to worry about running out of power or not being able to find a charging cable, further enhancing the convenience of wireless keyboards. In terms of design, the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 features a full-size configuration and includes a numeric keypad on the right side. It also features scissor-switch key switches, making the typing feel closer to a laptop keyboard, offering a quiet and comfortable typing experience. A light-absorbing module is located above the keyboard, continuously replenishing and converting power without affecting the aesthetic design. The built-in battery boasts a 10-year lifespan and is user-replaceable; components are supplied by iFixit, emphasizing maintainability and sustainable design. For multi-device use, the K980 can connect to up to three devices simultaneously and switch quickly via the Easy-Switch key. It supports cross-platform operation, seamlessly connecting to Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices, making it particularly convenient for users who need to work on laptops, tablets, and phones simultaneously. Furthermore, with Logitech's Logi Options+ application, users can customize shortcuts to their needs, such as setting up automated operations or associating dedicated AI shortcuts with frequently used chatbot services for quick one-click access to AI assistants. Pricing for the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 wireless keyboard comes in three versions: a standard version priced at $100, a business version with a USB-C receiver for enterprise users, and a version with dedicated Mac keys, both priced at $110.
