A have tried 6 keyboards in the past year including all of the apple keyboards. This is the nicest one out there. As close to perfect as you can get. My only gripes... (1) the mouse pad on the bottom right is worthless. (2) Wish they would up date their drivers to better support Snow Leapord.

I wish I found this years ago - I would have purchased one and enjoyed it over the years!
1. The nearly useless number keypad on the right side of most "regular" keyboards is gone. Thank goodness; a regular user should buy one separately since that would surely be more convenient! This configuration is better - I purchased "separate" keyboards a long time ago since I hardly ever need the number keyboard.
2. The on-off switch could be a little bigger plus with a clearly visible sign for on-off; now it is a guessing game.
3. I always, always have a subdued lighting environment when I use my computer. That is good for eyesight! I wish this keyboard came with a "lighted keyboard" version - or at least with a built-in "lighted keyboard mode" to switch on when desired. Battery consumption is not as critical a concern as are: (a) ease of use [i.e., for the eyes]; [b] user-friendly comfort; and [c] yes, even aesthetics! Batteries can be replaced at minimal cost.
5. Logitech should publish instructions on exactly how the diNovo's battery can/should be replaced - and with what type of battery.
6. I agree with some who suggest that the mouse buttons should be replicated on the left side of the keyboard; the right mouse-button replica at present is most welcome - but replicating both left and right buttons would be much better.
7. The diNovo Edge should be offered for sale with a perfectly matched mouse - instead of leaving one to choose from many available models. Anyone wishing to opt for a different mouse may still do so. I certainly would have purchased this keyboard even if the "packaged but excellent, matching mouse" would mean higher cost.
8. The diNovo Edge as presently designed is very, very nearly ideal. Grade is 95% or A minus. This product is excellent, period.
9. CONGRATULATIONS TO LOGITECH!
10. When a better/upgraded model of the diNovo Edge is available, please let me know.

Good: light, long range, combined with a responsive touchpad, keys feel good, exactly what you need for Windows media center PC.
Bad:
1) they made the same mistake as Microsoft in one of their keyboards, modifying conventional layout of Delete, Home, End, etc. keys. Even after 6 months of use, I still frequently tap on Delete key when I want End. Every fast typing user will have big problems with this. Layout of major keys should not be modified.
2) mouse keys location is very inconvenient. Try pushing a mouse key and using touchpad at the same time. They should have duplicated mouse keys on the left side of the keyboard.
3) touchpad scrolling action is only marginally more convenient than common touchpads. Why are they still using this iferior technical solution? What can be easier than making a clickable scrolling outer ring around touchpad, like they do it on digital cameras. One dollar more expensive - infinitely more usable.
4) positioning of the keyboard on the stand could have been done better.
5) price tag is very high, which is probably due to its novelty and lack of competition. Adding bluetooth to a keyboard adds $20 max, its reasonable market price shouldn't be no more than $80.

Overall the DNV Edge is the most useful thing that ever bought for my PC. The Bluetooth connection frees my desk of cables, and the touchpad eliminates the need for a bulky mouse. Then there is the design. Thin and light, with a very professional look, the Edge is always asked about when people see it on my desk.
I could rant for days about it, but in the end all I can come to for conclusions is GET ONE. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

This is flat out the best keyboard I've ever used. The battery seems to last forever, it feels great under my fingers, and with it's slim design, my wrist are not lifted off the surface the keyboard rest on into an uncomfortable position. This makes quite a difference when you type a lot.
A couple of minor nitpicks though. First, a better way to scroll using a slider like the volumn slider would be great. Second, I would like the option to light up the keys when working with it at night. Using one of the F Keys under the function format would be great to be able to turn on or turn off backlighting for all the keys (which of course would shorten battery life if used in the 'on' position all the time). Third, the Caps Lock key should be backlite when turned on (a different color or brighter if a future version is made with backlit keys). Fourth and finally, where is the matching detachable numberpad for this keyboard. I used to use complex characters which can only be made using the Alt key plus number pad keys in my passwords, thus, making them totally uncrackable to even the most roburst password cracking program, but without the feature, I've had to resort to other means and change all my passwords. If you could please produce the number pad for this keyboard, I would be first in line in the store to purchase it, as I don't want to buy another keyboard, as I really love this one a great deal.

This is the best keyboard that i have ever bougth. Its magnificent, the keystroking, the form, the artistic desing, all of it, i just love it. The only detail thats dosent make it a perfect keyboard is that it realy needs a ligth for the caps lock, and also, this is something that I allways ask from a keyboard, is light on the key, i mean individual light on each key. Thats all, and i highly recomend this product

I dont know about you but anything over 20 bucks is too much to pay for a keyboard, the saying goes you get what you pay for and this keyboard is well worth the price tag.
To keep this review short this keyboard has a load of features and the onboard touchpad made it stand out to me. It has a long battery life, it is lightweight, thin and the range is outstanding. I've had it about 6 months and I have NO COMPLAINTS.
Great Buy.

I buy the best display, keyboard/mouse, and printer I can afford (all of which should outlast several computers), then pair them with the best PC I can buy for under $500 (under $700 for laptops).. The diNovo Edge is the most expensive keyboard I've ever owned (by about $150!), but it's well worth it, despite a few drawbacks that really should never have made it into production.
Here's a quick summary: Beautiful design; Insanely great battery life; Very nice feel for a low-profile keyboard; Good range and reliability; LED lighting and touch slider for volume are great.
The compact design is great! It's FAR preferable to wider keyboards with number pads I never use. I use Excel and other computation programs a lot, but as an engineer and a road warrior who also uses laptops (I use this keyboard for both), I never use a number pad. Also, I REALLY like having the typing part of the keyboard directly in front of me, something that's really awkward if you're right-handed and have a keyboard with a keypad. (One more reason I hate these new wide-screen laptops with numeric keypads!)
There are two real problems with the keyboard: First, the touchpad works well for pointing, but it's maddening for scrolling, which is the probably the most frequent UI action in today's web-world. A regular rectangular Synaptics touchpad placed below the space bar, with a scrolling area on the right like Gateway uses on their laptops would be a HUGE improvement. At the very least, add another touch sensitive area just for scrolling - perhaps next to the volume control, with a tactile cue to let you easily find either one without looking. Also, the touchpad can get cranky if there's another similar touchdisk connected to the PC, like the one in the Wacom Bamboo tablet, which I use with this keyboard.
Second, the brushed aluminum trim piece at he bottom of the keyboard is beautiful, but surprisingly darn cold when you put your hands on it - enough to be beyond uncomfortable and into really annoying or borderline painful - and I'm not a cold-natured person. I'm thinking of replacing mine with a varnished wood veneer piece, and perhaps Logitech should consider the same thing, or perhaps shield the aluminum with a clear insulating layer. This is a much bigger problem than it sounds like, especially in the Winter, and even in Austin. (Another reason to be glad I don't live up North!)
Lastly, a couple of nits: The addition of a "back button" (or a custom button mappable to the browser's back button) next to the touchpad would be great - the thumb button is mapped to this on my mouse, and I use it all the time. Also, the Control/Alt/etc. keys are a bit too tall, but then the left Control key isn't next to the "A" like us Unix guys know it should be. Also, I had no idea that button on the left side with the cursor arrow was another left mouse button until I read another review here. It would be far more useful with a small tactile dot to let you find it by feel when holding the keyboard in your lap on the sofa. I'm still not sure what the Windows button above the volume slider is supposed to do either - it certainly does nothing for me...
Overall, I'm very happy, but Logitech let style trump good design and function just a bit too much. With a better touchpad (or at least better scrolling) and a fix for the palmrest deep-freeze, this would be a near-perfect keyboard. In spite of these flaws, for me, the diNovo Edge is by far the best keyboard available today, even considering its high price. Here's hoping Logitech reads this and fixes these problems to make what I (and I'm sure many others) would consider the perfect keyboard.

My first sample failed after about 1 day, but I gave it another shot. The second sample has worked for more than a year.
I'm using it for my home theater PC, and this is by far the best wireless keyboard for that application. If you hold the keyboard between your hands, the trackpad falls under the right thumb and the extra left mouse button falls under the left one. You can hold the keyboard this way and mouse around without needing a flat surface or even your lap.
The keyboard itself is perfectly fine, and I'd prefer a slightly smoother feel on the trackpad, but it works well enough. Scrolling worked, but sometimes it would lose it and start wheeling the mouse around.
I would prefer a slightly more robust feel on the extra left hand mouse button. Also, the "piano black" finish is pretty, but easily smudged. I'd prefer a matte finish that I didn't have to clean as much.

I have used better keyboards but I have never seen one as good looking as this one. There is one thing I really do not like it that you need to be precise with the key press, hit it right in the centre or your finger 'bounces' off. Also, I sometimes get a crunching feeling when I press the shift key and it does not engage properly. Just so as you know: this keyboard is a fingerprint magnet, it is the equivalent mess to an iPhone screen but you do get a nice polishing cloth (which is pretty good) so don't buy it if fingerprints offend. Touch disk is useless, don't bother with it, but the media keys and volume control are excellent! This keyboard works with a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5. A fantastic companion with the Logitech MX Revolution mouse. I would like to have an illuminated keyboard, this was a little disappointing. This keyboard in my opinion is not for professional use, it would be a waste of time if you want it for a workplace, but it is great for home use and showing off, because it's main function is really a status symbol: why do you get a recharge station? A cable would do! Show it off and enjoy bragging rights :-)

I've had this for somewhere around 3 years as I purchased it around the time it came out and price was much higher. I love it and have never regretted the purchase even though at the time, I felt I was being pretty frivolous.
I use it on my editing computer that I use only for video, photo editing and music recording. I very seldom need a number pad, but if I do I just use the one I purchased for my laptop. I like the way it is uncluttered without it.
When my everyday computers set (Logitech LX710 -also very nice cordless set) goes bad I will purchase another diNovo for it, especially since the price is now much lower.
It is sleek, feels very well made and looks great on the desk. I've never had a problem with it. It is a joy to use and I always look forward to using it when I have to work on projects. I purchased the MX Revolution mouse (excellent by the way) at the same time as I like the option of both and not a big fan of mouse pads, but it is very handy when I'm sitting back with keyboard on my lap.
Another reviewer had mentioned a few improvement: I agree that it would be nice if the volume control was moved to across the top and mouse disk at the bottom in the middle as I am left handed and it would be nice to use the disk left handed if I wanted to which is impossible where it is positioned. These are minor improvement though and would not keep me from purchasing another just like it.

From the packagaing to the look and the performance this keyboard his it all. It looks like a decoration piece and will turn heads for sure. I have had no issues with performance and the battery lasts forever before needig a recharge. Installation was farily simple and quick. The only thing i would complain about is that the keys are not illuminated....which is a let down consdering all the other features. Im very happy with the purchase : )

I reviewed this earlier, but wanted to add a couple of things:
1) PLEASE make an option to silence the beep the CAPS LOCK key makes. There's an option to enable/disable sound that the OS makes, but it the keyboard itself always beeps when CAPS LOCK is pressed. Very annoying to myself and co-workers.
2) A light on the keyboard indicating when CAPS LOCK is on, would be very helpful. Currently, there's no way to know without typing. Very frustrating if you're entering passwords which aren't displayed.
3) As someone else noted, why not put the touch pad below the spacebar in the standard laptop position? There's room, and people wouldn't have to retrain themselves after switching from a laptop.
4) Ditch the volume slider, and use the extra space to expand the home/end/pgup/pgdn keys to the standard 2 high x 3 wide layout. A great place for the volume slider would be horizontally across the top, above the function keys.
5) A battery indicator light on the keyboard would be helpful.
I love the feel of the keys, but the keyboard could stand some improvement in the layout. If you can improve on this, I'll buy the next model.

Recently bought this keyboard, had been wanting one for a while. It looks and feels great. I owned a MX 5000 laser set for about three years, and I was pretty satisfied with it. The fact that this keyboard is rechargeable is the key feature for me, I hate wasting money on batteries. Setup was a breeze, it took three mouse clicks and 2 minutes. Battery life has been excellent. The keyboard is beautiful and well made, it really is fun to use. There are only two problems I have with the keyboard, both of which are fairly minor and might be N/A to most users. The first is that I don't like the touch pad, but in all fairness I have never liked touch pads. I prefer a regular mouse and I bought an MX Revolution several days later (great mouse). The second is that I sometimes have to do big excel projects and the lack of a number pad is a big drawback. I ended up buying a wireless keypad separately. This works out great because when I don't need it I simply put in a drawer. It makes my desk much less cluttered. All in all, a great buy if you need a stylish keyboard, don't like spending money on batteries, and don't use excel much.

While this keyboard receives kudos for its excellent styling, more important are its superb performance and ease-of-use. Set-up is very fast and easy, and the enclosed software--a later version can be downloaded from Logitech's web site--allows for useful customization of the keyboard and mouse. The touch and travel of the keyboard's keys are first rate, which is still the most important element of the quality and performance of any keyboard. I do not miss the number pad, and believe a strong majority of users will not. Before purchasing, I was very nervous about the TouchDisc as a replacement for a conventional mouse. Happy to say it is very easy to use, even though scrolling takes some practice, and the Left-click button located on the left side of the keyboard is invaluable. Battery life is very long as others have attested. Overall this keyboard is not only sleek and stylish, but performs exceedingly well, and has all the features the vast majority of users require.

I've had this keyboard a couple years and have had no problems with it. I brought it to work because I no longer needed it at home. Let's just say, within the first day, there were six requests for the keyboard to procurement. Everyone loves it.

I would have given this 5 stars all around if it hadn't changed the layout of the home/end/pageup/pagedown keys.
Also, the touch pad is great, but there's room to place it where the standard laptop has a touch pad, in the center of the keyboard on the hand rest.
Otherwise, fantastic feel. My co-workers are jealous.
