Logitech diNovo Edge Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard Review

  Submitted: 08-19-2007


 Summary:
You could blow $200 on a lot of things, but how about on a keyboard? Logitech would like you to spend your green on what they call "The World's Most Advanced Keyboard". Is it all that and a bag of chips or would you be better off spending the night in the bar with a bowl of pretzels? Let's find out!

Logitech is being pretty darn boastful with one of their latest creations, calling the diNovo Edge the "world's most advanced keyboard." After giving this Bluetooth keyboard a whirl for a few days, I'm almost inclined to agree.

The ultra-slim keyboard offers fantastic tactile feedback, a whole host of awesome features, and a truly original orange backside. Yes, the back of the keyboard is inexplicably orange, but that seems to be one of the very few shortcomings of the Logitech diNovo Edge Bluetooth Keyboard.

  • 11 mm (H) X 410 mm (W) X 210 mm (D)

What Do You Get?

Inside the box, you'll find the extremely attractive diNovo Edge keyboard itself, as well as an ultra-glossy charging base, AC power cord adapter, USB mini-receiver, installation CD with Logitech SetPoint software, user's guide, and some stuff for the the 3-year limited warranty.

What's cool about this particular wireless keyboard is that there is no external mouse to speak of. Instead, there's something called a "TouchDisc" to the far right of the keyboard that acts much the same way as the touchpad on your laptop. The circular touch pad is, pardon the pun, a touch on the small side (38mm) , but it suits its purposes if you're just doing some casual web browsing or word processing. If you plan on doing any image editing, video gaming, or anything remotely intense, you are heavily advised to use a regular mouse for that (preferably wireless). Underneath the TouchDisc are a pair of regular mouse buttons.
