Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Home Entertainment PC running Windows Media Center for most of my entertainment. But often times I just want to play around on the internet, YouTube...Netflix...guitar tabs...ECT. I always had to get out my keyboard and mouse which was cumbersome. I have such a sleek setup that it was really awkward to do these things as the keyboard and mouse are hidden most of the time.
ENTER DINOVO MINI
It is perfect for just browsing the internet from the comfort of your couch. The keyboard is small (its kind of like texting, you use mostly your thumbs). But it is fine for typing web addresses, searching YouTube, searching Google, ECT.
The battery lasts forever; I've only charged it once since I got it a month ago. I am very pleased with the battery life...it was one of the things I was skeptical about.
I cant really think of a downside, the keyboard is small, but thats the point.
Customer Review: finally a perfect wireless keyboard/mouse!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lightweight, easy to use, intuitively designed and BACKLIT! It is the perfect size and works perfectly out of the box. A HUGE improvement over previous Logitech wireless keyboards. The clam shell design protects it from damage and adds durability. Plus the battery is rechargeable (no more hunting for AA batteries) and lasts for about a week without recharging. Only takes a couple of hours to fully recharge and you can use it while plugged in. A bit expensive but worth every penny. I was glad to throw out my old Logitech diNovo keyboard and mouse! The mini sells for the same price but you will be singing its praises rather than swearing at it, getting your blood pressure high and thinking of smashing it against the wall like I have done with my two previous diNovo keyboards. You wont go wrong with this Mini. It is the best computer accessory I have purchased in a long time. Thank you Logitech for FINALLY getting it right!Customer Review: Excellent as a Home Theatre PC Keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered mine after careful research (great price from Amazon Warehouse). The keyboard arrived yesterday and I am using it with my Sony Vaio T140 laptop that is connected to a 60 inch plasma and I am very pleased.
The product is very well built and the keyboard requires a little getting used to, but works very well. The mouse is also very usable (took me half an hour or so to get familiar with the left click, right click and dragging (works differently than a regular mouse).
This is probably the most ideal product if you are looking for a keyboard to control your PC from a couch. Prior to this I used an Adesso blutooth keyboard/mouse combo. While, I have no complaints about the Adesso, the Logitech has a much better form factor and the build quality is significantly better. At around $30 more than what I paid for the Adesso I consider the Logitech an excellent product
Customer Review: Small but functional
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start out by saying I love this keyboard. It installed instantly in Ubuntu Linux (Jaunty 9.04) and never looked back. It takes some time to get used to. It's like typing on a really big Blackberry, but the mouse/pad works great and once you learn when to use the "FN" button to find the missing characters, it is really easy to type e-mails, urls, and text commands.
For a home theater computer or kitchen computer, this would be an ideal keyboard.
Battery life is about a month on a single charge, and that was with a lot of use. I didn't time the recharge, but it was less than 4 hours, and it works while charging, so you aren't really out any time using it.
Overall, I give this a perfect rating. Some will argue about it being too small -- but it's perfect for what it was designed for. If you want a full sized keyboard, buy a different one.
Customer Review: Great for computers that are hooked up to your flat screen TV.
Summary: 5 Stars
Best thing ever invented....
My computer is hooked up to my Plasma TV and I had a wireless mouse and Keyboard. Problem was that I needed a flate surface to move the mouse and my keyboard was hard to use while on my lap. The diNovo Mini solved this problem, it combined a mouse and keyboard. The device is so small and energy efficient, it turns off when you close the cover and can be held with one hand. As an average computer user, I only need to charge this device once or twice a month. It uses Bluetooth with gives me a longer range. My old wireless, mouse and keyboard uses IR or radio waves which had a shorter range. Another great thing about this device is that the keys light up, so it makes it easier to type at night. There are other great ideas build into this device that would take all day to describe. Since I bought this device I haven't had any problems.
