I have this keyboard and I love it. About 15 years old, but it doesn't want to die, and I won't buy a new keyboard just because it's old. I don't like common mechanical keyboards, I specifically chose this because of the very short key travel.

The problem with the K750 is it's not repairable at all, the top and bottom plastic is glued together, so if something dies inside it's over. It's not easy to clean. One of the legs broke off years ago, and a replacement is expensive, so I use 3d printed legs but they usually wear off in a couple of month. STL file is here, not my work: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1619695

I wouldn't buy this exact model again, but solar keyboards are very convenient, you never have to care about charging, I use my computer on a desk and on a couch, I just take the the same peripherals to the other place.
