Customer Reviews

Excellent Addition to my Entertainment PC5
I have an "entertainment PC" set up in the basement. It's a DVR/PVR and movie player. It's hooked up to a projector as well. Having this remote keyboard/mouse makes it really easy and fun to control. No more climbing behind the screen to move the mouse! I just plugged the small USB dongle into my computer and within seconds I was moving the mouse around. You only need to install the included software if you want to tweak things like acceleration and cursor speed. The only thing I am disappointed with is the fact that you can't charge it using a USB cable. I recommend this to anyone with an entertainment PC.


Pros:
- Just plug in the dongle and it's up and working. You only need the software to tweak the settings.
- USB plug (dongle) stores in the unit.
- Charge lasts a long time.
- Very cool looking. Lights are nice.
- Easy and fun to use.
- Don't need blue tooth on your PC. This comes with it.


Cons:
- Doesn't Charge through USB or a cradle. Needs the power adapter and cord.
- Switch to change to PS3 mode is hard to get to.

Mac users don't fear...4
I was looking for a mini keyboard for my macbook pro and totally fell in love with the diNovo Mini. It says Vista only, but bottom line is that it is a bluetooth keyboard and it will sync up with your mac. So far, only the Windows button does nothing, but I hear there may be some software updates in the near future.

Everything about the diNovo works quite well. You may think the toggling between the two modes may be off-putting, but it becomes second nature after a couple of minutes.

I recommend this for Mac as well as the Vista users that it is marketed to. The only reason it gets 4 Stars is cause of the shunning to mac users.

Another "First Unit Defective, Second Unit No Different"2
I really really like this keyboard. It's perfect, size-wise, feature-wise, look-wise.

My first unit has the "OK" key stuck. And that is one of the vital keys (the left and right click). I got a replacement from Amazon, this time the "O" key is stuck, not working at all. I was really pissed.

Otherwise this is really perfect fro my HTPC.

What a shame. I wished Logitech would get their quality control together. I'm returning it for a refund.
