Great innovative product

This thing works perfectly. The days of balancing a wireless keyboard on your lap and rolling a mouse on the arm of your chair or sofa is over. I bought it specifically for use with a computer hooked up to my HDTV for use as a media center. It tracks really well and quickly becomes like a second hand. I wish my remotes worked as well as this thing. I highly recommend anyone with similar needs check it out.

Great device for freeing you up to be more comfortable...

The Logitech diNovo Mini is a sweet controller for your Media Center PC setup. I found that instead of being tied to a keyboard or a simplistic remote, I could use this instead and get a lot more functionality. Pretty much everything I'd want to do (web surf, text entry, etc.) can be done from the luxury of my couch. This is really what a remote *should* be...

In terms of styling, Logitech has done a great job. The smoked plastic cover gives the unit a sleek design that looks great when you're not using the unit. When opened, you have a full QWERTY keyboard in additional to a touchpad and special function keys for paging, Internet Explorer, and other various tasks. The keyboard does take a bit of getting used to, as they are lined up vertically instead of offset to the right for each row. But at least they are real keys and not a touchpad. The tactile response makes all the difference. Another nice touch is that the USB receiver you can use on non-Bluetooth devices stores nicely in the back of the unit with the batteries. No more hunting around for where you last left it.

Given my... "hacker" tendencies, there is one small thing I still want to try. If your PC or laptop is Bluetooth enabled, you can use the diNovo to control the cursor and application that's in use. My son and I had fun when I first got it, as he kept moving my screen cursor around before I could do what I wanted. I'm curious as to how much you could control other PCs or devices from a distance (say from 10 to 20 feet away). Is the speaker's presentation a bit boring? Speed up his slides a bit. Does he have an application open that accepts text? Enter your own. :) The possibilities could be endless! I may now have a reason to sit in the front row again. :)

This keyboard mouse combo is the best for media center i have ever seen. Connects effortlessly, always on and is very sleek looking. The only small comment I have is that the mouse pad is a little slow. However, you can easily change the mouse setting and it will work fine. The buttons are sturdy and comfortable. The unit size is perfect. Not too small where the keys are useless yet small enough to fit with the remote controls tray. Logitech did a very good job.

Ideal HTPC remote control

When you have a PC next to your TV for media center application or simply browse the Web,you do not have much choice: you must use a complete wireless keyboard and mouse. This was true until the DiNovo mini, now you have a complete palm size mouse/keyboard.

Super easy to install (on Vista), the battery life is great and all the keys are there and even more. Also the keyboard has a backlight which makes it practical in the dark. The build quality is very good too, it feels solid in your hand, usual for Logitech.

The only negative aspect would be that the keys are very small (hey small keyboard small keys), it is of course not intended for game play but only for small inputs such as a url or a name.

As the keyboard is trying to save its battery, it goes into a sleep mode after some inactivity and drops the BT connection and it can take as long as a couple of seconds to be able to use it again.

Really the perfect device everybody was waiting for. Could not live without it.

Could have been great, but...

The diNovo Mini might have been perfect for what I needed, but I wouldn't know. It came with a bad battery that would not charge. I got to use for a little bit while plugged in, but that is now how this little device is supposed to work. I therefore can not tell how it would be for normal daily use. I chose to return it for refund instead of replacement because I couldn't wait weeks without a keyboard. I ended up getting the diNovo Edge and love it. I would recommend the edge over the mini unless you just absolutely need to have the very smallest thing out there.
