"Broken drivers for Snow Leopard" 2010-03-30
By W. Welch (San Francisco, CA USA)
What was once a great keyboard (I've had mine a year and loved it) is now approaching useless with my upgrade to OS X 10.5.8. During clicking and dragging operations, the keyboard drops whatever you are dragging exactly 2 seconds after you have begun. No matter what. There's some chaos for you.

Logitech has acknowledged the problem and offers so solution. You can read about it in the logitec forums, search for "DiNovo Edge Mac Edition Touchdisc Issue".

Avoid this one like the plague.

"Issues with the initial unit" 2010-03-30
By T. Leong (Greater Baltimore-Washington Area)
Initially had problems syncing the keyboard. Left it in the recharging dock overnight with the power switch on accidentally and came out in the morning to hear the keyboard loudly buzzing near the power switch. The buzzing decreased in volume upon keyboard removal from the dock, but the keyboard would not sync with the Mac afterwards. Since I bought it from an 3rd party via Amazon, could only return for money back rather than an item swap, but the RMA process was super easy! Price has since gone up, so waiting before I buy a replacement - would like to give Logitech another shot on this one. Contacted Logitech regarding the issue, but did not receive any response.

"Solid Keyboard, mouse buttons are useless" 2010-03-26
By Stenspect (Santa Monica, CA)
This keyboard is super solid. Great for HTPC. I use it in my bed and have it connected to my Mac Mini. The only drawback I have found is that mouse buttons are pretty much useless. They're difficult to push/nonresponsive. Aside from that, though, it sure beats a separate keyboard/mouse setup.

"A solid, comfortable keyboard" 2010-03-23
By J. Robinson (Skokie, IL USA)
My goal was to get a blue tooth Mac keyboard that was comfortable and had all the features I could want, such as an actual backspace key, which Apple's does not have. Jackpot! Its footprint is no larger than the wireless keyboard it is replacing and the key strikes are rapid and firm. There are a few other Mac blue tooth keyboards out there but this is the only one I saw that seems to have such a full feature set.

"Pretty, but flawed" 2010-03-20
By Vipul Ved Prakash (San Francisco, CA)
I am big fan of trackpad gestures in the recent Macbooks, especially the double finger scroll, and I have been trying to find a wireless keyboard/trackpad combo that comes close to replicating the scroll experience. After checking out a lot of unsatisfactory options, I decided to go with the diNovo because of its gesture and Mac support. It's beautiful. There's a star trek appeal to the finish, which is enhanced by little orange leds strewn across liberally. The construction is sturdy and the board is thinner and longer than it looks in photographs. The charging cradle is handsome too, though it usually takes trial-and-error to cradle the keyboard properly so that it charges.

The usability, however, is barely 2 out of 5. The keys are "heavy" -- they are a chore compared to keys on a modern notebook ie Macbook/Thinkpad. The trackpad is too small and tucked away in an uncomfortable and distant location. I find myself trying to look for keyboard shortcuts instead. The worst is the rotating finger scroll. It's a complicated gesture which is made even more frustrating by its high failure rate. Even after a few months of using it, the gesture fails 25% of the time for me. The use of trackpad as a pointing device is inconvenient due to severely constrained track area, I end up with finger fatigue after 30 minutes or so.

The diNovo is sufficient for occasional use, especially with the computer that is part of the media center in your living room. However, it has ways to go before it can become a primary work device. I am hoping the next generation of wireless diNovos will be as usable as they are pretty.
