Targus Sustainable Energy Harvesting Keyboard
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Targus Sustainable Energy Harvesting Keyboard (AKB868AP-50) - 3 Years Local Warranty
A CES Innovation Award-Winning Keyboard That Charges Itself
The Targus AKB868AP-50 is a full-size backlit keyboard that harvests power from ambient indoor light via amorphous silicon photovoltaic cells, recognised as a 2023 CES Innovation Awards honoree. For Singapore offices under year-round indoor lighting, this effectively removes battery replacement from the IT maintenance list.
Ultra-Low-Power Bluetooth Built on Atmosic Technology
Using the Atmosic™ ATM3 series Bluetooth SoC and BLE 5.0, the AKB868AP-50 pairs with up to three devices while sipping minimal power — the solar harvesting and low-power chipset work together so the built-in 1600mAh battery rarely needs a USB-C top-up.
Full-Size, Backlit, and Built From Recycled Materials
With a 104-key full layout, 3-level adjustable backlighting, and up to 85% post-consumer recycled materials (GRS certified), this keyboard suits organisations that want a premium, sustainable, low-maintenance standard for executive desks and open-plan offices alike.
