Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Laser

These 5 stars are really 4.8 stars. I was looking forward to having this keyboard under my hands. Almost every review that I had read described the soft feedback of the keyboard and the responsiveness of the mouse... THAT's TRUE!!! I could only find minor issues. Pros: - This is the most stylish keyboard that you can find all around. - The keys feel just like those on a laptop keyboard and they are full sized. - The keyboard profile is really thin. - NO DELAY at 100 wpm. I was very dissapointed with the annoying delay of some logitech RF keyboards. This can be a pain in the neck for serious typists. At this speed, logitech RF keyboards feel like enqueuing the keystrokes and you end up receiving the last characters of every sentence delayed by something like 1/4 sec. That's ANNOYING! With the iNovo, you won't experience any perceivable delay, unless you can write at 250wpm. I was expecting it to suffer from a longer delay because of the additional processing needed for Bluetooth communication, but I was nicely surprised of not finding any delay. - The installation was straightforward, I did not experience any problems. - The mouse is fast and accurate, though I prefer the smooth movement of my microsoft standard mouse. Cons: - The layout of the media pad is a little unnatural, considering that the down arrow has been placed on the num-5 and that the num-0 has been subdivided into two separate keys: num-0 and num-000. - Personally, I would like that the media pad could be attached in some way to the central keyboard. Anyway, this is only a would-be-nice. It does not really bother me. If you're looking for a stylish, soft, responsive, well designed, light, eye-catching, different-to-the-rest and brilliant keyboard, the iNovo is the way to go. You don't have to think twice. If you like the soft touch of laptop keyboard but also like the advantages of full-size keyboards: Logitech iNovo. Don't look anywhere else!

Bought this keyboard/mouse combo because I needed to replace my old three year old DiNovo keyboard. The keyboard is not sold alone, so one has to get the combo. I love this keyboard! The keys are very responsive and as they are only 1/4th of the hight of most the other keyboards, they really help to type fast. Love the triggerpoint on then and the klicking sound of the keyboard is nice and solid. It has all the buttons on it that I need and combinded with the small size and very sleek design, it makes for a great keyboard. Again, I bought it again because the old one was worn out. The mouse I don't like as much. It is big and heavy. I don't need all of the buttons on it and would prefer a smaller size mouse. I like the charging cradle though. I did not intall the Multimedia pad/Bluetooth hub. Don't need it and keyboard/mouse work without it. Installation was very easy. Plugged the Bluetooth dongle in, paired it with keyboard and mouse, and that was it. Keyboard works perfectly, mouse sometimes stops responding for 10 - 20 seconds and then resumes work as normal. Happened three times in a month of use. Annoying at the moment, but in the grand scheme of things no big deal. Overall assessmet is that the keyboard to me is the best on the market. Tried many keyboards, but this one really is it all. The mouse is only ok. Would not prevent me from buying the package, but would also not be the reason to buy the package. I like the recharging mechanism on it. Did not install the Mulimedia pad as I never used it on my old DiNovo set. Bluetooth works well, with the occasional drop-out of the mouse. If you are looking for a truely great keyboard, buy this combo, if your focal point is the mouse, then think twice.

This is one of Logitech's better keyboard and mouse combos. It installed without any problems. You can plug it in and it works just fine. Install the software and it's loaded with features. The remote key pad (Media Pad) is very handy. You can set back and use it as a remote for watching movies, or use it as a calculator. It beeps and has a blue flashing LED to inform you that you have new email and displays the subject line. You can set it aside so it doesn't take up desk space. One disadvantage is there is no back lighting in the display. The keyboard and media pad uses AA batteries that come in the box, but the mouse has an internal rechargeable battery that in not user replaceable, you have to send the mouse in to get the battery replaced. My old Logitech laser mouse that has the same battery is 2 years old and is still working fine. The keyboards price on the Logitech website is very high but I picked it up on the Amazon web site for have the price and free shipping.

I was a bit concerned that Logitech provided their own proprietary Bluetooth software, they do say you can use generic Bluetooth managers. I went ahead with the standard install. It went more smoothly than any other Bluetooth install I have ever done on any machine. The devices were quickly discovered and paired. I also tried and succeeded at pairing my Motorola stereo headphones. The construction of all three pieces is solid and seems durable. The keyboard is a bit bigger than I would have liked for use with my home media PC system. But I have the consolation of a solid, reliable product. Downsides: -I discovered is that mouse or keyboard activity seems to disconnect the stereo headphones. So either I'd have to experiment with using a generic bluetooth manager to see whether it better handles the multiple devices simultaneously. -The so called media keyboard module seems superfluous for my purposes but I suppose people who heavily use Winamp or Windows Media Player will find this handy and more compact than a fullsize keyboard.
