This lovely piece of tech came to my home and I am already in love with it. Nice, light, easy to use and beautiful. We put a mini in the bedroom to watch video in the evening. Having access to keyboard, mouse and front row in one device is magic. Yeah, it's speandy - but it's good tech. Get one, you know you want it :-)

I purchased this keyboard after the "u" key went out on my Apple keyboard that shipped with my 20" aluminum iMac back in December of '07. This keyboard has, so far, been an excellent purchase. (I'm typing the review on it right now!) The keyboard has a MUCH better feel than the Apple keyboard, with much more room required to press a key, which adds to the comfort greatly. The touchpad is an interesting innovation, as well.
PROS:
* Easy-to-use volume control
* iTunes music control
* Touchpad w/ horizontal and vertical scrolling capabilities
* Very comfortable typing experience
* All of the "mac" buttons (command, option, etc)
* It's fully Bluetooth, so there's no dongle or anything necessary if your Mac has Bluetooth already (which almost all of them do!)
CONS:
* Touchpad is rather small
* The black plexiglass really attracts fingerprints (it's not superbad, though)
Overall, I certainly recommend this keyboard if you're looking for a comfortable wireless keyboard. It's a bit pricey; however, it's paying off quickly for me!
Rating: - Sleek, functional and easy setup
I used the DiNove Edge to replace my Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Mighty Mouse that I use for my Mac Mini (it serves as a media unit connected to my TV). For those integrating their dvd player, stereo, mp3 player, digital photos and television all into one via a Mac Mini, the greatest challenge is the use of the keyboard and mouse. The constant juggling of these items to control the PC from the couch offsets the convenience of integrating all the components. The DiNovo Edge solves that problem.
I don't need a stand or coffee table to set the keyboard on and the Apple Remote becomes unnecessary. All the controls you need for iTunes, Front Row, etc. are included as extra keys on the keyboard. It also has a volume control. I've found the trackpad to take a little getting used to, as well as setting my hands on the keyboard right (it's off-center due to the trackpad and volume controls). But that just takes some adjustment.
Pairing the keyboard was quick and simple (more so than the Apple keyboard for some reason). There's also an installation disk that adds more software for customization of the keyboard (e.g., shortcuts).
I'm very pleased with this product.
Rating: - Great product!!
Simply put, this keyboard ROCKS! It's stylish, comfortable, and most importantly, functional. Additionally, the volume slider works perfectly, don't be discouraged by harsh critics.
Rating: - Much Better than Expected
Over the past four or five years, I've purchased six keyboards from varies makers--mostly Apple. Last year I decided to buy the new aluminum Apple keyboards (both the wired and wireless) and they were superb, much better than any previous keyboard. However, I found the keys too short for efficient typing; and, overall, the keyboards felt smaller, as if my hands were being pushed together in an uncomfortable distance from each other.
I waited a while to buy the DiNovo Edge. The price was too high when it first came out. Now that it's in a Mac version, I decided to try it. And, quite frankly, it's one of the best keyboards I've ever had. The little Star Trek controls on the right side are appealing, but nothing I couldn't live without.
The physical keys on this keyboard is what makes this product better than all the rest. It just FEELS right. The keys are perfectly aligned; they are deep enough to get good resistance and feel when typing; they're quiet; and the keyboard itself is very responsive. Apple's wireless keyboard has some lagtime, but the Edge works perfectly. If there is some sort of lag, I can't notice it (however, it was quite noticeable with the Apple aluminum wireless keyboard).
That being said, I'm very pleased to have purchased this product. It looks good--not as good as in the product photos, but good enough. I sincerely hope this will be my last keyboard purchase for a long time. But you never know what Logitech will throw at us next year...just the novelty of the new product might lure me.
