Is the Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980 Wireless Keyboard worth it?
Yes — if you never want to charge or change batteries again.
A strip along the top charges its battery from daylight or indoor light, and Logitech says a full charge lasts up to four months in the dark. It's a slim, well-built full-size keyboard with quiet, comfortable keys, a number pad, programmable function keys and three-device switching over Bluetooth. There's no backlight, it can't be raised or tilted, the legends are printed, and the consumer version has no USB receiver in the box.
Good to know
- No backlight.
- One fixed angle, with no feet to tilt it.
- Bluetooth only out of the box; the USB receiver comes only with the business version.
- Costs more than a battery keyboard with the same features.
- Charges from room light
- Slim, quiet full-size keys
- Three devices, programmable keys

How we reached this verdict
PCGamesN found it truly never needs charging, even in modest light, with a smart design and good typing, but no backlight and Bluetooth only. Macworld calls it well built and comfortable with useful reprogrammable keys, though the solar tech adds to the price and it can't be tilted, and Notebookcheck liked the flat design and quiet keys but noted the missing receiver and lock-key light.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
