» Genius SlimStar 820: A Solar-powered Keyboard
(February 2007)

The Genius SlimStar 820 is one of a kind
keyboard that includes a solar panel to draw on energy from
light sources and then to recharge the unit's built-in battery.
The panel located on the top right is adjustable to absorb as
much light as possible. Other than this unique feature, the
SlimStar 820 seems like an ordinary $15 keyboard with tons of
multimedia hotkeys. One more thing. The keyboard is hybrid
powered. In the absence of any light, the USB cable charger can
take over. The solar-panel doesn't recharge the 1600dpi laser
mouse which uses 4 AA batteries that are pretty harmful to the
environment. The good news is the batteries last up to 15
months.
