Product ReviewsLogitech diNovo Mini 920-000594 Wireless Keyboard

Good Product!

I bought this because I needed a wireless keyboard in my classroom. It works almost perfectly. The only thing it's not great at is selecting blocks of text because the trackpad is small. However, the overall convenience of the product and its size is amazing. It is easy to set up, easy to use, and overall has improved my ability to use technology while teaching.Read full review...

Great product

UPDATE: after 36 months of HEAVY HEAVY use, writing emails, surfing, HTPC... I was sick for a long period of time and the Mini was the only way to get stuff done... it seemed like the keeys were getting a little loose and I broke the charging port (entirely my fault) so I bought a new one, which seems better than the original in key action, had a better battery retention clip and a better range and has a better function when the battery is low on reconnecting. Logitech also recently update setpoint and it seems to track even better even though it was great gefore.

I've been using this product a long time now... many others have detailed what it is and can do.... I'll give the bottom line: after getting acclimated to it and having tried many other solutions over the years... nothing is better for a media PC period....

Pro:
- the size combined with trackpad placement is perfect.... thumb typing as I'm doing right now goes smoothly and shifting your thumb up to the mouse is very natural. the entire keyboard is exactly the right size for this sort of work

- the function key on both sides is genius.. holding function down enables right click, momentary arrowpad, ctrlaltdel, esc, zoom, special characters, etc. without having to switch the mode switch.. when you utilize this feature a little... this keyboard skyrockets to the top of media center keyboards....

- the trackpad sensitivity is just about right without having to fiddle

- 3 year warranty... I've had a couple of problems over the years which were honestly more my fault that logitechs... but they replaced it lickety split for me with a NEW unit.

- driver update is automatic and I haven't had to touch software the whole time

Con:
- the backlighting isn't adjustable and goes out in a couple of seconds so its a little frustrating when pausing during typing they are saving battery of course, but I wish I could set that... this is very minor as you can simply touch the ctrl key or something that doesnt enter a keypress to circumvent

--

IMPORTANT Notes:
- the first unit I got had the aforementioned connection problems... I switched out and never had a problem since out to about 30 feet, so maybe some early units dropped connections, but they are fixed now.

- as you use it... oil and dirt from your skin will slowly dirty the trackpad and make it SEEM like it is dropping connection by skipping or refusing to move... simply take a cloth with a LITTLE alcohol and wipe GENTLY to clean the surface.. generally keep your hands clean and don't expect to mow down a pound of fries and use this thing flawlessly... my experience is that it NEVER has appeared to drop connection when clean and works as good as the best laptop pads.

- there are no dedicated buttons for some things you might expect like skip fwd and back... but ctrl-F and ctrl-B are conveniently placed so its no problem in reality

- it is SLIGHTLY fragile... meaning if I drop it 4 feet onto tile, there's a possibility the unit halves will unsnap slightly and I have to snap it back together, which is a little worrisome as it takes some muscle to snap closed... twice this has resulted in a non responsive key... I don't know that this is really a con as I'm taking a delicate complex keypad and spiking it on concrete and expecting it to work great, which is sort of unfair to Logitech... if they made it tougher I think the key responsiveness etc would be tougher and would reduce the appeal of the product

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
- a lot of people have been saying that the logitech mini controller (there are multiple product pages on Amazon, but like here: [[ASIN:B0040QE97A Logitech Mini Controller for Logitech Revue and Google TV]]
does everything that the Dinovo Mini does, just with a different receiver... that is completely wrong... you need this product, the DiNovo, to do PC specific controls like zoom web pages etc. that you cannot do on the Mini controller ... on a HTPC to surf and be able to zoom pages so you can read them, the DiNovo Mini is a requirement, don't get cheap and buy the Logitech Mini Controller... you will be really sorry unless you are using Google TV, which really isn't that good anyway ;)

AWESOME product.... enjoy!Read full review...

I love these devices

Wish Logitech hadn't discontinued them.

Some very minor issues with certain keys. As this is a second hand unit, I can't complain. I had the same thing happen with my previous device.

Great easy to use compact keyboard and mouse.

Seems well made works great for PC ,I do not own a PS3 to speak for that though, I have not owned it long but is easy to use ,battery seems to last quite a while , kind of didn't like the cover on it but its great so you don't hit keys when its laying on the bed and your watching movies.Read full review...

doesn't work

The set-up instructions they sent with the keyboard did not work, and I have never been unable to sety up an electronic product. so my purchase was a waste of money.

Performance keyboard but a bit ugly

Pros: Easy setup, support win8 , lag free , long battery life.

Cons: The plastic in the bottom is quite clumsy.

Well thought out product easy to use and looks great in a home theatre.

I bought the dinovo mini to control my home theatre PC and I find it to be very good at doing this .
It is very easy to use and much better than the wireless keyboard and mouse that I was using.r>Aso being so small it fits in well with my home theatre setup.
I think the dinovo mini is much better than other products of this type on the marketRead full review...
