Logitech diNovo Black Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard

Comment:
This sucker is amazing, I love it, the best thing for an HTPC, works thru walls, very far away, last for weeks on a charge, mouse works PERFECT, no you do not have to hold a function key to click like some other reviewer says, you even have 2 options for click, 1 on each side to make things easier, and it's plug and play, I never bothered using the disc is came with (why? it works perfect) I love it, cannot say enough good things about it. Buy It!!!!!!

I love this keyboard, I use it to control my media PC. It's a genius design, and it looks great on he coffee table! I wish the mouse was a bit better. To be honest I've never been happy with any type of pad mouse, so not a fault of this model really.

I have had this for about 4 days now, the first time using it was a little crazy but i soon got used to it. It sure is a handy little thing and the wireless works like a charm. Only problem i had with it is sometimes it gives off a little buzzing sound when the backlights come on, it only happens on the odd occasion. The lid is a bit annoying but to be honest it protects it when not in use so its not all bad :)I would say the only downside to this little thing is the price, i think its way too expensive but what the hell.

If you have a HTPC, this is the ultimate accessory for it. Just note that you will NOT be racking up high scores in FPS games or writing the next great novel on this thing. It is only useful for HTPC use.It looks amazing. The LEDs fade out. The black materials make the LEDs completely invisible when they're off. If you are comfortable using a Blackberry thumb board, this will be a pleasant experience.I'm not completely sold on the ClickPad; to be fair I don't like touchpads in general. In cursor mode, it's too easy to click "OK" in the middle and too hard to click the directional arrows.Sadly, Logitech left out a LOT of keys, including all F1-F12 keys and some international chars. There isn't even a way to program them in. This makes this keyboard unable to use common shortcuts such as Alt-F4, or access the BIOS.The plastic cover is too flimsy for leaving it on the couch. Unlike a TV remote, if you sit on the Dinovo Mini, you will break it.This keyboard is far too dear to buy at full price. Find a sale and pricematch.

This is by far one of the best accessories you can get for a HTPC. It works perfectly to control my HTPC, whether I want to search the web or watch a movie. The device is compact and small, making it easy to store and use when watching a movie. The keys also illuminate in the dark which is great for movies in the dark. Surprisingly, you can type pretty fast on it too.Some downsides are that the wireless range might feel short sometimes, but that could just be my dinovo. Also, the mouse pad feels really different and might take a little time to master the art of moving your cursor and pointing. One more thing is that the plastic feels really cheap for the price that you are paying for.Despite it's downfalls, it is a great accessory and highly recommended for any HTPC.

Probably the best accessory ever for a HTPC! Logitech finally delivers a perfect HTPC companion keyboard with touchpad. The touchpad works like a trackpad on a laptop, but then switching it to media mode the direction arrows light up and function as navigation buttons. Definitely not intended to be used to type on a daily basis; this is a tiny keyboard. If you have a dedicated HTPC, this is a must have! Geek factor = uber! Only pitfall is the price, try to catch it on sale or price match if someone else has it on sale.

it's small...dam small it looks great but I would not use this for more then occasional use...I was expecting it to be small though.I would tell anyone who is seriously considering this spend the little extra and get the regular dinovothis was not misleading at all I just failed to see how small it was so I give it a 4/5 but would likely not purchase again

small and pretty, looks great on the coffie table but hard to use mast of all the mouse. maybe for young people but over all the older you get the little thing get harder to use and its a lot of money! I picked up a wireless one for $50.00 its almost full size it works great & looks ok but not as nice as this one

I built a HTPC and was looking for a keyboard/mouse solution that would not look ridiculous in my living room and I almost shed a tear of joy when I discovered this little beauty. After using it for a few days I realized that I would still require a mouse and that the trackpad just wouldn't cut it even for occasional use. You must hold FN and then press "ok" just to right click!! If Logitech could have put two buttons (left and right click) close to a flat (more usable) trackpad this would have been a great device instead of just a decent one, and if they had put a scroll wheel mounted sideways on the side of the unit that could be used with your right index finger they would have reached HTPC Nirvana!

Got this to keep my coffee table from being covered by my keyboard and mouse and it does the job. It's small enough I can leave it right on the table with my remotes so I don't have to worry about it taking too much space. Typing with it is easy enough. The pad is kinda awkward at times where it will just not move or jump everywhere. It's not a huge deal but I find myself pulling the mouse out instead. A middle click for opening tabs in IE or Firefox would've been awesome. Overall really enjoying the mini.

I bought this to use with Vista64 and for my PS3. Vista64: Installation was no hassle, plugged the mini received and instantaneously worked, though I had the setpoint software already installed. There is a need little program to add more functionality to the setpoint software available called uberoptions, get it!PS3: Paired it with no problems, though some of the PS3 buttons are missing on the keyboard but you can use the Fn key + Esc and Fn+Ok to achieve the same actions.Other than that great gadget!

Je l'adore, il va très bien, est discret dans un salon, sa portée est très bonne... Son seul défaut est son touchpad.. il n'est pas très précis... je suis quand même très habile avec un touchpad de portatif et je croyais que cela allait être semblable mais c'est bizzard, il ne se comporte pas pareil, (des fois il fait des bouts plus vite que d'autre dans l'écran...) Disons que ses nombreuses qualité me font presque oublier son défaut... disons que pour surfer sur internet c'est correct.... Une autre petite chause c'est qu'il fait un petit son quand il est rétro éclairé... je croyais que s'était seulement le mien mais ils semblent tous à le faire... Disons qu'il faut se l'approcher tout près de la tête pour l'entendre mais tout de même... Conclusion je l'adore et je ne serais plus capable de m'en passer...

I did a little research before I decide to buy this. Turns out that Logitech has been working really hard to make this thing. I'll be brief. Note that I do not have a PS3 system and I use this only with Windows Vista. Though other people have confirmed that this device will also work under Linux distributions.Good things first. 1) This first and most pleasing thing about this keyboard is the tactile feeling of the keys. I've never typed on any device that feels like this, not even on a high end cell phone; 2) Good design. The D-Pad also works as a mouse pad, very similar to the touch pad on your Laptop, only much smaller and works a little different. I would say a little more about it at the end of this summary. Plus, you get a separate key for left/right clicking; 3) This keyboard has full support for Windows, it will work under vista without installing any additional driver or software; 4) Looks good enough to make you happy, by just staring at it :). 5) Everything Gilles_L mentioned.Now onto the not-so-good stuff. 1) I was expecting to use this with my Nokia N95 cell phone. Unfortunately Symbian OS uses the two Windows keys (or Command keys, for apple keyboards) as the left and right soft keys, but this device has only one Windows key, which is mapped to the left soft key in Symbian. Therefore the only use of this keyboard in a Symbian system is typing since you can't navigate most of the System/Apps without using the right soft key; 2) When navigating through web pages, the only way to scroll up/down without having to drag the slide is to use the page up/down keys, which turns one page at a time. I personally would prefer something like a jog dial that allows you to smoothly scroll up/down the page, but I guess that's just a personal preference; 3) The mouse pad could use some improvement, like polishing the surface so that a finger can move more smoothly on it. Also, the default sensitivity is not very comfortable to use. I believe that the included SetPoint software has the option to adjust the sensitivity, but I'm too lazy to try that out. 4) In the mouse mode, when the orange backlight of the main key area fades out, the keyboard would emit a buzzing noise. It could be just my unit, and it's at most a minor annoyance, but to me it's a noticable one. 5) It could've been better if they had placed the only Ctrl key on the right side instead of the left. The layout makes pressing Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and such very uncomfortable. Since you are typing with two fingers not two hands.That's it. I've been really picky about this little gadget, but by all means I love it. I feel good when I'm typing on it. Finaly, a tip about the D-pad/mouse pad: it appears to use touch sensing instead of a hardware five directional pad. Sorry for the confusion because I am not familiar with the technical terms. What I mean is that like Apple's Mighty Mouse, which uses a touch sensor to determine whether you have placed your finger on the "right click" spot or not, the D-pad on Dinovo mini also relies on the touch sensor to determine in which direction your are pressing the pad. So unlike the normal D-pad on a cell phone, you would have to place your finger at the upper part of the pad in order to press "D-pad up".I hope that answers your purchasing question. Send me a message if you have any further question about this device.Oh and forgive me if there's any typo escapes my eyes, it's a little hard to keep track of the text when typing on something this small.

I have had this jewel for a while now and my wife just loves it. I upgraded from the gyration RF keyboard which was small but compared to this looks like an 18 wheeler.In a nutshell, this is the perfect gadget for the Media center enthusiast.
