Re: Logitech diNovo Mini
Not that it's really a problem - I've never ever accessed the bios settings once I've set everything up. This keyboard is exactly what I've been looking for. I, for one, never liked having a full sized keyboard on my lounge table, and this is svelte, easy to use and just simply works.
I don't have a problem with "clicking the mouse button" as the I move the mouse cursor with the top-right pad with the right thumb, and click the mouse button with the top-left button with the left thumb. The only gripe is that there isn't really a right mouse button per-se - you have to hold down the Fn key on one hand and either click the touchpad or the left-top button with the other.
I ran across a review on the net (can't remember offhand) which stated that the receiver it comes with isn't very good and the range is short. Not the case here. My dining table is 7+meters away from the HTPC and I'm controlling everything just fine (although admittedly it's much harder to read the plasma from that distance).
One other comment - I've had several people advise me that I would be better off getting a "real remote" (read: the usual candy-bar) and using this only when I had to type something as it wouldn't be as easy to operate. Perhaps it's horses-for-courses, but I'm finding it to be totally untrue! Switching channels, changing volumes, navigating menus are all very simple to do on this. Bugger, wish I hadn't bought a separate MS Media Centre remote while I was waiting for this to arrive!

PS. Mine cost $135.30 from ARC (found them via www.staticice.com.au). And no, I don't have any affiliations with either. |
Logitech’s diNovo Mini just might do something rare in the media centre space; re-writing the rules for keyboards. Place the diNovo Mini on your coffee table next to a normal wireless keyboard and you’ll see what the hype over Logitech’s keyboard is about. Compared with the svelte
