Targus EcoSmart AKB868FR keyboard Universal Bluetooth AZERTY French Black

The Targus Sustainable Energy Harvesting EcoSmart Keyboard AZERTY Bluetooth Black is a full-size, AZERTY-layout keyboard designed for everyday use in home and office environments. Constructed from up to 85% post-consumer recycled materials and finished in black, the keyboard integrates solar energy harvesting cells to primarily power the device from ambient and artificial light. It connects wirelessly via a low-power Bluetooth SoC to up to three devices, offers scissor key switches for a comfortable typing feel and includes LED backlighting for use in low-light conditions. The keyboard also incorporates Targus DefenseGuard™ antimicrobial protection, with additives infused into the product surface that help inhibit micro-organism growth for the life of the keyboard.

Advantages

The keyboard’s energy-harvesting solar cells are optimised for indoor lighting and reduce reliance on disposable batteries, while the ultra-low-power Bluetooth chipset increases power efficiency compared with conventional wireless keyboards. Use of recycled materials and recycled packaging reduces environmental impact. Antimicrobial infusion provides continuous surface protection without topical treatments that wear off. Full-size AZERTY layout, scissor switch keys and LED backlighting combine to deliver a practical and comfortable typing experience.

Recommendations

For optimal energy harvesting, position the keyboard so that its solar cells receive consistent indoor lighting during normal use. If long periods of darkness occur, ensure a brief exposure to light before use to maintain charge levels. Clean the keyboard surface with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh abrasives or solvents that could damage finishes. The product is designed for plug-and-play compatibility with common operating systems—consult your device Bluetooth settings for pairing steps.
