its another shiny toy, 2008-11-12
and i love it. im typing this while its in the charger. great angle. well to be honest i just couldnt wait to play with it.but the angle on the charger is great for sticking on a tray and laying back on the sofa to chat and type emails on my pc connected to my tv. the main thing that attracted it to me was the recharge issue...no more frantic scrabbling for batteries while in the middle of a game or a chat. like others have mentioned, it would be nice to experience the lovely orange lights a bit more.
i paid the extra postage cos im impatient. paid for at about 7.15pm, arrived at 9.45.am thats less than 15 hours from me ordering it, to it sitting on my desk being used.
Lots of style, but lacking in substance, 2008-12-03
I bought my diNovo Edge about a year ago and have used it as my main keyboard for most of this time. On the whole the keyboard is a nice product- the battery life is exceptional, outliving my Logitech mouse by at least ten times. The feel is equal to a standard keyboard and the design is of course incredibly slick, as a standard bluetooth input device it works with most mobile phones.
However, the keyboard has the annoyance of not having break or pause key and having no way of redefining the useless extra keys to act as these buttons. I'd quite happily ditch the sleep button which is in an awkward position and tends to get accidentally pressed when you pick it up.
The worst thing about this keyboard for me is the intermittent disconnections and long reconnection time which only seems to happen when you've pressed down a key but not yet released it, and even though the drivers weigh in at over 50MB, they don't auto-release keys when the keyboard disconnects -- or 3 minutes later when it finally reconnects.
Clicking around with a control or alt key pressed down and deleting stuff, or launching a thousand programs because the return key didn't release, or getting wiped out in an online game because you're straifing around in circles makes this keyboard a danger to use. Think of the most awkward time for a button to be held down indefinitely and you can bet it's happened to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
Fine for use as a huge remote for your media center, but far too large to fit in your notebook bag and I wouldn't recommend it as a replacement for your desktop keyboard.
Great to look at, just don't try using it., 2008-12-01
I work 8 to 10 hours a day at my desk moving between my trusty old Microsoft mouse, a Wacom A3 tablet and keyboard. All my tools have to function perfectly all the time. After 6 months hard use, the Novo's going in the bin.
Good points: the keyboard action is amazing, like a cross between an electric type writer (highly responsive ) and a top of the line laptop (short key travel). The rechargeable cradle works well and the Bluetooth connection is solid. And it looks fantastic, top marks for design.
Bad points: Day 1, the latest version of Logitech's software went on, screwed up several vital programs and processes and was promptly removed.
Three months in and the touchpad stopped working: annoying but no big deal as I had the mouse. A month later, the touchpad starting working again but the markings on the keys started wearing off.
At 4.5 months, the slide control began lighting up on its own, adjusting the volume arbitrarily up and down. Listening to audio became impossible.
At 5 months, several more key markings started wearing off and the touchpad stopped working.
This morning, the flimsy right hand support leg snapped off. However, the touchpad started working again.
For bragging rights or as art, this keyboard rocks. For mundane stuff, like actual use, look elsewhere.
Worth the money?, 2008-11-24
If you really have nothing better to spend your money on there is always this.
The only main advantage this has over my old wired keyboard that cost £3 is that it is wireless. All the other features are negligible, fancy but really not worth anything. Seriously can you not type properly with a normal keyboard?
The logictech emplyees will write all these amazing things in their reviews but really you should go and spend that £90 on something more useful for your computer.
It's flash, but it's good, 2008-10-03
Pretty much everyone who knows me has asked "Why did you spend so much on a keyboard?" And while it's true that I like shiny things, this is truly one of the best pieces of kit you can get.
It looks fantastic, it's quite comfortable to use, and once you get used to the touchpad, it's amazingly easy to use. The battery lasts for ages, and is completely rechargeable which is pretty useful - you just stick it in it's charging dock and go out for the day, then come back and it's ready to go.
Bad points? No number pad, as said above - but that can be overlooked. Only other problem is the first one I got was faulty, but it's replacement is absolutely fine.
