Last year Logitech introduced the Wireless Solar Keyboard for PC. But what about Mac users? It may have taken a year, but Logitech didn't forget about you. Just announced today is the Wireless Solar Keyboard for Mac.

Featuring the same design as the Logitech K750 for PC, the new Mac version comes in five colors – four of them just for you Mac users. But the really nice thing about the keyboard is you never have to worry about batteries again. It has onboard solar cells that power the keyboard using ambient light in the room – no direct sunlight is needed. When fully charged, it can work in total darkness for three months – pretty impressive! A solar power app is also available for download that gives you at-a-glance information about battery levels, and will alert you when you need more light.

Featuring 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, the K750 for Mac is a full-size keyboard featuring a number pad and a layout designed specifically for Mac users. Eco-friendly too, it touts PVC-free construction and a fully recyclable box.

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac will be available later this month for $59.99. You can pre-order it now at www.logitech.com.
