Logitech diNovo Mini Keyboard Review
If you got a HTPC setup at home you know that you need a small keyboard/mouse combo to match the rest of your home theather system. Logitech has lately relesed their Dinovo Mini keyboard/mouse combo that we are going to take a look at today. This small keyboard is filled with features that might come in handy when using your HTPC.
About Logitech:
Focused on innovation and quality, Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the digital world. We started in 1981 with mice, which (new at the time) provided a more intuitive way of interacting with a personal computer. We became the worldwide leader in computer mice, and have reinvented the mouse in dozens of ways to match the evolving needs of PC and laptop users.

Since those early days, we have expanded our expertise in product design beyond the computer mouse, with a broad portfolio of interface devices that are the “last inch” between you and your computer or your console game, digital music or home-entertainment system.
With products sold in almost every country in the world, Logitech’s leadership in innovation now encompasses a wide variety of personal peripherals (both cordless and corded), with special emphasis on products for PC navigation, gaming, Internet communications, digital music and home-entertainment control.
For each of our product categories, we study how our customers use their digital devices, and then our designers and engineers set their sights on how we can create a better experience with those devices – richer, more comfortable, more fun, more productive, more convenient, more delightful.

The product:

The keyboard is not much bigger than your hand so the box is not that big either. It did the job well and protected the keyboard during shipping though. On the front you got a picture of the product and on the back you have also a picture of it along with some main features that the unit holds.

Inside along with the unit you will find a manual, cd with drivers/software and also a small piece of cloth to clean the cvover of the keyboard since it is very sensitive to fingerprings.
From time to time you will need to charge the keyboard so you get a power adapter with it that range from 100-240V so with a small power plugin adapter this unit can also be charged in Europe.
The small USB device on the right picture is actually the transmiter/receiver for the signals from the keyboard. Since this device runs bluetooh the range should be more than enough ofcourse depending on how many walls there are between the unit and the computer. Since I live in a apartment it is hard to try it from any longer range but atleast 5 meters so around what 22 feet I got it to work without any problems. Main problem was actually seeing what I was doing on the screen on that range :)

The top cover is made out of a glossy plastic material which is very sensitive to finger prints as I already said. When you remove the bottom cover you will be able to install the battery and also store the USB adapter.
