I bought the diNovo Mini to use with my HTPC and it is the crucial device to have for an HTPC create. typing performs properly for smaller tasks and the touch surface is responsive and precise. the back lit keys make it uncomplicated to read in any light. the flip lid protects the keys and helps conserve battery. The general construction is phenomenal and it looks wonderful. Individuals come more than and are amazed that this compact device is my keyboard and mouse! the battery life is shorter than I would like but it charges speedily and you can still use it while it's charging so no real loss. If you are developing an HTPC get this, you won't be dissatisfied!! |

Excellent variety and battery life, effortless to use, light weight and comfortable. Variety is fantastic no difficulties with 20+ foot connectivity like other review have griped about. Correct "a jungle" has this more affordable but you can not touch newegg's service, effectively worth the further 20 hands down. A scroll wheel would have been wonderful! A dock would have been even sweeter!A 1 time crucial lock for the shift important would have produced thumb typing simpler also. Like some have stated this is a thumb typer, not for long typing sessions, primarily for IM, username and passwords, and navigation. if you are planning on blogging get a complete size. |

I wanted a tiny, bluetooth, backlit keyboard with an integrated trackball or touchpad and directional keys to use with a bedroom HTPC. I could only discover two keyboards that covered all my specifications. I chose the diNovo Mini because it seemed to have the superior build top quality, and was more "wife friendly".I have the mini paired with the onboard bluetooth on an ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe motherboard. The keyboard has never lost its BT connection, and the battery is nonetheless going sturdy immediately after being charged when received 3 weeks ago. Key presses are not delayed and trackpad sensitivity is very good enough, though not excellent. I would have preferred a committed appropriate-click button rather than holding down a "Function" key and clicking the left-click button.At first I thought the media-mode directional pad was broken mainly because it would not register when I pressed the pad in the down direction. I've study other people having the same problem. I was pressing close to the edge of the pad and apparently this does not perform. You have to actually press exactly where the arrow is, close to the middle of the pad to register a down command. The other directions do not have this dilemma.I cannot access the BIOS employing the keyboard and I can not wake the HTPC from S3 sleep. It might be due to not making use of the bundled USB receiver and the keyboard not getting noticed as a USB device to the motherboard, so it might work for other folks.I didn't realize how a lot I would miss the F-buttons or some other keys such as print-screen. A keyboard this small does not have substantially real estate to give up, and I realize why they were left out nevertheless. The proper-side "Function" shift button is also marked as the turn-on-the-backlight button, even though any important press of a non-lit important will turn on the entire keyboard backlight. It would have been genuinely good to have that essential illuminated all the time by default due to the fact I locate myself fumbling about for it in the dark. Confident you can press another essential to turn on the backlight, but that essential may possibly form a an undesirable letter or delete one thing.Preserve a regular keyboard around. After a power outage my HTPC was stuck through startup. It would boot to the recovery menu with possibilities "Launch Startup Repair" (default) and "Start Windows Commonly". I could not modify it to "Start Windows Generally" working with this keyboard.A final note- I had to go into the Windows Media Center possibilities and pick the "Media Center window constantly on top rated" box due to the fact when launched utilizing the Media Center button on the diNovo Mini, WMC stays behind the taskbar and you don't have directional handle. |

Modest hand held keyboard that functions great and appears good on your coffee table. I have this DiNovo mini linked up with a nice Gateway laptop that has HDMI output and a 256M committed Nvidia card. The laptop was just sitting undertaking practically nothing under my night stand. So I made a swift effortless HTPC out of it with the enable from a cheap HDMI cable and this wonderful hand held keyboard.I discover for myself the device performs fantasic! The mouse is tricky at instances but all in all tameable. I created my fonts large and resolutin big. Now I just sit in my Lazy-Boy and watch Hulu with ease on my large Tv. When necessary I can verify my e mail or do a net search from my huge comphy reclined chair. I did locate this unit alot less expensive someplace else at a popular auction website. It was a refurb so I paid alot much less. It works as if where brand new although. Every little thing you can do on your normal keyboard you can do on this factor. My wife just can't get the hang of the mouse pad. I hand it to her and try to teach her how to mouse about and it's just so painfull to watch. Is this mainly because she is not a gamer, just a regular noob? Why do I uncover it so straightforward to do but she has a challenge?I see how I am with it and how she is with it. My review on it will be totaly various than hers. Just in this aspect alone. I feel they could have also gave this deice a little joystick or nub type of a mouse. You know the ones I'm talking about, they looked like little pencile eracers in the middle of the keyboard. But in this factors case off to the side just the way it is. If you like watching motion pictures from the net and Tv and stuff than this is for you. If you take pleasure in surfing from your sofa this is fantastic for you. If you like undertaking alot of typing then this is not for you. Not that you cant, just far better to do on a full size board.If your seeking for one thing small that can manage your HTPC all in 1 unit, then get this. But bewarned, you may or may possibly not get the hang of the mouse. |

Smaller size. Spent several hours at the direction of Logitech Assistance installing application to no avail. In their defense, they did send a replacement. Nonetheless, the replacement performed no much better. This was on a Vista, 32-bit, HTPC.Intermittent functionality was the best I could get. Finally worn the battery retaining hook out on the first keyboard. I hope to discover a smaller, wireless answer somewhere else. |

Size, Layout, Mouse, Plug and PlayThe size is wonderful. This is perfect for my HTPC and the cover make a distinction. The cover appears like a novelty; even so, I think it truly keeps you from pressing buttons when you don't want to. The buttons are laid out completely. Wants a skip track button. The touch mouse is in a wonderful place if you are proper handed; lefties could have troubles.The mouse or mouse pad is wonderful! It is a touch pad like a lap top rated and I have no problems with it at all. The only situation is I could use additional sensitivity. Also, at the flick of a switch it turns to a linear (arrow keys) pad. This is a wonderful option and functions so nicely with Moovida. Every little thing is pretty responsive. No computer software and it plugged and played with no troubles. I use ubuntu and don't pretend to know substantially about linux at all. Nonetheless, it worked extremely well some points function far better than others. NOTE: it is not a replacement for your standard keyboard. You will want each. VarietyI guess I count on to significantly from variety. I have never ever had a keyboard that could go far enough for me. This is adequate and functions on my couch ྫ'). The mouse performs well adequate from my kitchen 18'. It is a little intermittent at the longer distances but works alright.One issue I have heard that operates is to shut it off for a couple of seconds and turn it back on. It appears to assist it out. It also aids if you unplug the dongle as a result generating it search for itself once again. Take a appear at my HTPC develop under. My HTPC is a net best; streams Hulu and plays films like a champ. My total cost was 跾 (I didn't include the diNovo in that). This can be accomplished for cheaper. I spent a tiny of additional coin on a excellent looking case.

* Clamshell style controls energy* Touchpad or arrow pad option with the flick of a switch* Comfy size (a little bigger than I believed from the pictures)* Performs with Samsung Galaxy Tab* Bluetooth Initializes quickly * Key layout is uncomfortable as the keys are in exactly the correct spaces for modified muscle memory If you're employing this with the Samsung Galaxy Tab, be cautious whilst you're exploring essential functions. An Fn + Enter is properly Ctrl+Alt+Del which oddly (since it's Android/Linux based) causes a soft restart of the device without a prompt. |

Sturdy item, but lightweight. Best for entertainment goal. I bought this for my entertainment pc and it operates just marvelous. For me, I can hold this with two hands and us my thumbs, so it's simple to navigate. Reception works great. Charges pretty quickely. Highlighted backround tends to make it effortless to see buttons. Just too a lot of 'Pros' to list. Price tag is a little steep. |

Quite cool. Performs from across room. Mine does not drop out like other reviews say. Nice keypad action, truly a thumb-board. Letters on keys are really smaller and tricky to study if you are more than 50. The slide switch to go from mouse pad/touch pad to arrow keys appears like it die in a couple of years. Steep finding out curve. Arrow keys on the crucial board and a devoted mouse pad/touch pad would be greater. |

Mini size, case looks decent. Keys are smooth and uncomplicated to push. Superb support for both left + correct mouse clicks. Backlighting is good. Battery life is awesome - haven't had to charge it for 3 wks, nevertheless going. Wireless connection is powerful - making use of the USB receiver => bluetooth and it's connects further than 20ft which is about the max distance I can reliably read on my Tv. The mouse wheel is a small difficult, it supports a click but it's really hard to click w/o moving the pointer.I haven't been capable to get the 'del' to perform to enter the bios. Would be nice if there was a mini lcd screen on the flip up, but that probably would have raised the cost a by a large amount. |

The only option in it's class The track pad stops responding dozens of times in a session. Requiring you to either hit the function important or cycle the selector switch to bring it back.The Setpoint software program looses it's tabs without having cause requiring a re-installation to get them back. The build excellent of this unit is fine but it's problems aren't finding fixed. Looks like Logitech is resting on their reputation. I wish there was a different choice to advise. |

Quite a lot the exact same pros everyone's already talked about The diNovo Mini has some annoying issues. Initial of all, pressing backspace automatically turns off the keyboard backlight. I don't realize the design and style choice on that one particular... it is particularly annoying. I want the backlight would also stay on just a bit longer.Second, my device has a faint buzzing sound when the backlight is turned on. It's not too audible, but it's there and can be annoying. My two brothers and father own a diNovo Mini and their's make the identical noise.Lastly, the blue function keys are entirely useless if you're typing in the dark. No backlight.I want the lid would flip absolutely backwards and be flush with the back of the device. That would be nice. Also, the software sucks and is quite feature limited. This device has the prospective to be quite well known if Logitech were to repair all the nooks and crannies. Marketing that the device also works with a Playstation 3 would possibly enable, also. |

3 customizable buttons (although only 2 are completely customizable) feels excellent when typing with it. directional pad as effectively as a mouse pad = win. There is a buzzing noise when back lit. I believe I got a defective unit. I've lost the use of 2 buttons and it looses connectivity typically. you have to bear in mind where the back light button is, buttons are difficult to see in the dark. Like I mentioned I assume I have a defective unit. when it works I enjoy it but this thing feels sort of affordable. When I get an RMA unit I will transform my egg count. |

Offers you the use of a keyboard and mouse in a smaller package. Getting it use bluetooth provides it great variety. Haven't located one particular but. I purchased this due to the fact i hated having a seperate keyboard and mouse on my coffee table. With this my coffee table is less clutered. |

Tiny, compact and capable to use as a mouse and keyboard. Frequently drops the connection with the USB controller and I am forced to get rid of the controller and put it back in to reset the driver. The 'D' crucial doesn't function half the time. I applied to swear by Logitech merchandise, but I have noticed that their make good quality has gone down substantially in the last year or so. If there were a decent alternative created by a different organization, I'd go with that. |

Smaller, compact (it's referred to as a mini for a purpose). Wireless connection choices are easy (dongle or bluetooth). There is a switch below the battery cover (where you can store the dongle if working with bluetooth) that allows for connections to PS3.The battery is rechargeable. The booklet says that a ten minute charge really should give you about 1 day of functioning power. I'm not certain how lengthy a complete charge lasts however even though, but it is nice. Touch pad is from time to time as well sensitive or too clumsy, but I didn't actually get it for that. I have a diNovo complete keyboard as well and it has a excellent strong metal structure really feel to it. This little thing is all plastic and I fee like I could crush it if I weren't cautious. It just feels cheap. Recharges with a wall connector. Would have been nicer in my opinion if Logitech had used a mini or micro USB to charge this issue and make it functional when connected to a computer |

LittleBack lit keysGreat Variety The touchpad does fairly considerably suck. It works but after a couple of days using it out came my wireless laptop mouse.Missing function keys. They seriously are necessary no matter how smaller they wanted to make things.Components feel extremely cheep and flimsy. Just cheap plastic. Would be good to see component of that high price tag place towards a good solid design.Soon after a couple of weeks trying to use this I went and bought an HP Wireless Elite Keyboard. So far it is awesome. Super thin and feels good. The Dinovo is a cool toy to show off the HTPC but is not and will never be a sensible way to use your HTPC over the lengthy haul unless you only boot xbmc and under no circumstances use it as a coputer. Cool toy but you can spend way less for a significantly far more sensible wireless mouse and keyboard that will make you common pc tasks a lot easier. |

That's appropriate. This small booger has been carrying out excellent with my HTPC. Absolutely everyone loves the size and the functionality. At initial, I was a bit irked that it did not have function keys, but to this day, I have not had a need to call for a function crucial. My HTPC watches Hulu, Tv shows online, Netflix, BR movies with the BR player, and the occasional web browsing with it. When just about every couple of months, I need to have to take the battery out for the Pc to recognize it. For the small bit of typing that you do with it, the BlackBerry style typing on it is excellent. More than two.five years and I have no regrets with it. Thanks Logitech for producing this great small keyboard! I hope you guys continue to make these keyboards for years to come for us geeks who like that custom entertainment machine at house. |

compact, rechargeable battery, mouse want the keys were a little less complicated to come across devoid of hunting at the keyboard. want the battery would final longer, but i'm a heavy user. have had mine a year or two and still going robust. noticed a dropping out of signal while keys have been depressed (backspace is a poor 1). even so, this is not a dilemma of the keyboard, its the bluetooth adapter of the computer. these who cry foul really should obtain a usb adapter. i can commonly get numerous hours of use out of the battery, unlike the edge which seems to have hardware concerns and drains the battery promptly immediately after a year or so. replacing the non replaceable battery in those doesn't resolve the issue so you have to get a new keyboard every year or two. i require a new mini since 1 of my keys stopped working. |
Compact: Perfect size for your coffee table.
Bluetooth, wide range of keys (for size), little, folds together, uncomplicated charge, mouse integrated Somehow losses connection with just the keyboard, from time to time if you type the mouse has to be moved for it to update, mouse can be annoying when you have to go side to side or be accurate. If it stayed connected and had a trackball with trigger fingers it would be a 5-star hands down
