Product Description

Product Description

Engineered for comfort and designed for beauty, the diNovo Keyboard features a wireless modular design that combines easily with a notebook stand and mouse to help you type and work in a more natural position for improved comfort. The modern, elegant styling is accented by an ultra-slim profile, glossy black finish, and brushed aluminum ¿ and a full-size number pad. The PerfectStroke key system provides more key travel than typical notebook keyboards, so every keystroke is comfortable, fluid, and silent. Three-year battery life minimizes the hassle of replacing batteries, while Logitech 2.4 GHz wireless technology provides a powerful and reliable connection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best keyboard ever!, July 30, 2009

By	Charles Hertz (Jackson, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an absolutely terrific keyboard, best I have ever had. I "downgraded" from the twice-as-expensive Dinovo Edge; this keyboard eliminates some of the relatively useless frills on the Edge, and adds a numerical keypad, the absence of which is one of the Edge's big negatives. It is every bit as elegant. The "feel" is great. I have bought hundreds of products from Amazon over many years, and this is the first time I have been moved to offer a review.

I have no idea why Logitech refers to this as a "keyboard for notebooks" (which is why I didn't pay it any attention when I purchased the Edge a while back). The key size and spacing are identical to the Edge, and in fact the keyboard is actually wider than the Edge by an inch or so, thanks to the numerical keypad. It IS about an inch and a half less in depth, but really looks and acts like a full size keyboard.

It is true, as noted by other reviewers, that with the default settings, pressing a key on the numerical keypad will result in a big green screen display of "Numlock On," followed immediately by "Numlock Off." This is annoying, but can easily be eliminated by going to Setpoint Mouse & Keyboard Settings > Tools > Software Access, and un-checking the box "Show status setting changes on screen" - there is certainly no need to uninstall the Setpoint software, which is really quite handy for a variety of purposes, including assessing battery status, and assigning Hot Key and F Key functions.

I have had no problems with delay, as noted by one reviewer, and I suspect the delays he experienced in "chat windows" simply reflected the fact that the characters appear on the screen only after being reflected back across the Internet - the delay is likely there, not in the keyboard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard!, November 13, 2008

By	J. Campion - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a replacement an original DiNovo keyboard I've had for a few years - this one is better in every way - much nicer looking with the silver wrist rest; uses much less desk space and no more losing the numeric keypad under something else.

It has a conveniently located on/off switch and its the first wireless keyboard I've used with a CapsLock indicator - right on the CapsLock key.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase - highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good keyboard., November 16, 2008

By	Daniel "shinbo" (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this keyboard to replace my buggy Dinovo edge, and so far it has performed as I expected. The keys are pretty simple and the spacing isn't too weird (there is a giant delete key). The typing experience is pretty much the same as the Dinovo Edge that I returned, but this keyboard comes with a numpad which is a big deal for me. As far as looks and build quality, it feels pretty solid and it looks great. Its slim and pretty small and there is very little wasted space. It worked well straight out of the box and batteries were included in my package.

The only con I noticed is that there is a slight input lag at times. When i would idle for 5-10 minutes, occasionally it would have a delay before resuming full speed. I would be typing in a chat window and nothing happens and it comes all at once a full second later. Another annoyance is the crappy setpoint software included. After I installed it on my windows xp pro sp3 machine, each time I press a button on the numpad, the green text would say "numpad on" and "numpad off" with every button I press. It got really annoying so I just uninstalled setpoint software. It works fine without it.

If this keyboard was cheaper I would probably have given 5 stars, but for a 100 dollar keyboard, that input lag drops it to 3.5 - 4 stars for me.
