Rating: - Best keyboard you can get.
I am absolutely amazed with this keyboard, every time I use it is a little gift for my eyes and senses.
First when I got it, almost throw it to the wall when figured out that it cannot enter foregin caracters by typing in ALT+..., so using the 40+ hungarian character set is almost impossible. But after 2 weeks of frustration I tried a keyboard layout modifying program that made the breakthrough, I customised ALL the necesary keys to meet my needs and since then I am extremely happy and productive with it.
Don't worry about the price, this is the part of your computer you touch and interact with all day, so if you are working as much as I do with the machine, you forget it before the week ends, and this piece of equipment probably stays on your desk for the next 5 years. The MX revolution mouse is the right choice to have next to it, without doubt.
Rating: - I love it already
I should probably wait until I've used this thing for a few weeks to give a fair review, but I couldn't wait. Plugged it in yesterday and I love it already. I have been looking for a good keyboard to use with my HTPC. I have been thru three other wireless keyboards that were, admittedly, made more for desktop/laptop use rather than HTPC, and have always been disapointed. Lately I have resorted to using the on-screen keyboard for the limited typing functions needed, but that is a major pain. This keyboard has the bonus of having a built-in touchpad with scrolling, so I may not need the mouse anymore either.
The first thing I noticed when I got it out of the box was how solid this keyboard is. It is so thin, yet I don't feel like it is cheaply made at all. Of course, the price is a big drawback for most people. BestBuy had it on sale for 40 percent off, and I had a coupon for another 12 percent, plus 65 dollars in reward money, so this thing ended up costing me not much over 60 bucks.
Setup was instantaneous, and I have had no range issues sitting 14 feet from the PC. I realy liked the fact that the charging base WAS NOT the receiving base, so I could have the charging base plugged in and sitting on the table next to my theater chairs, rather than trying to find a place to put it on the entertainment center next to the PC.
My only complaint is that I have not found a way to turn off TAPS on the touchpad. I really hate that tapping on the touchpad acts like a mouse click. I just don't see the need for that when the mouse buttons are mere millimeters away from the touchpad. There may be a way to turn it off, but I have not found it yet.
Highly recommend.
Rating: - Superior Keyboard with a Few Flaws
With keyboards costing as little as $10 these days, it is quite interesting that Logitech would market a $200 device. When first considering this purchase, I began to wonder if consumers were merely running out of computer accessories to buy and needed an outlet by acquiring superfluous peripherals. Yet, I was willing to take a chance as I spend 10+ hours per day in front of a computer. For me, any productivity enhancement is worth the investment. And that is exactly what I got with the diNovo Edge.
Like most users, I have grown accustomed to notebook keyboards as their keys have a much smaller travel than those on desktop keyboards. For me, I am simply able to type faster. The shallow keys were initially what attracted me to the diNovo Edge. As such, I have been very happy with the keyboard's feel. Moreover, it is probably the fastest desktop keyboard I have ever used.
Another feature of importance is its Bluetooth connectivity. My notebook has integrated Bluetooth, making setup in the morning a rather brief activity. Nine of ten times, my Dell XPS notebook recognized the keyboard without a hitch. In fact, even the initial setup was relatively easy. However, I would recommend *NOT* using the CD included as Logitech has made several revisions to the Setpoint software. Download the latest version from the Logitech web site. Even if you don't care about the additional features, Logitech tech support will always tell you to install the latest version of the software if they can't figure out what is wrong with your setup.
This leads to one of my biggest irritations with my user experience. When pressing the Caps Lock key there is beep. Disengaging the Caps Lock key creates another beep with a different tone. The Setpoint software has a setting to toggle this audible alert on or off. However, it doesn't work with this particular keyboard. After installing and uninstalling different versions of Setpoint four times, I contacted Logitech tech support. What was really irritating is the representative wanted me to reinstall it again in safe mode. I finally gave up when someone on the Logitech user forum, who appeared to be an employee, said that the toggle did not work - for now.
There are some other shortcomings with the diNovo Edge that the buyer should be cognizant of before purchase. Most obviously, it lacks a number pad. This can be issue for some users. As I am accustomed to notebook keyboards, this isn't a big problem for me personally. What is a daily irritation, however, is the mirror surface of keyboard shell. It attracts fingerprints more easily than any opaque surface I have even seen. It requires constant polishing with the enclosed cloth or with tissue - if you care about its appearance. Clearly, Logitech engineers knew this was going to be a problem given they included a piece of velvety material to remove smudge marks.
Despite the price and shortcomings, the diNovo Edge was a worthwhile purchase. Additionally, I consider it a good value from both an overall quality standpoint as well as in a return on my investment through productivity gains. If you spend a great deal of time typing and are looking for an extra "edge", I would suggest acquiring this keyboard.
Pros
Precision keys
Built in lithium-ion battery
Charging cradle
Aesthetics (sans fingerprints)
Cons
No keypad
Mirror surface easily attracts fingerprints
Uncontrollable beeping when depressing the Caps Lock key
