Page 1 of 3  Along with Microsoft, Logitech have been the market leader in keyboard design and innovation. Today we’re taking a look at the Logitech diNovo Edge Bluetooth Keyboard, and see if it is really worth its high asking price.
With a RRP price of AU$349.00, the diNovo Edge is certainly not cheap, and can any keyboard really be worth that much money when they all do pretty much the same thing? Well I’m writing this review on one of them, so I’m sure to find out. Retail Box 
The retail package includes a small USB Bluetooth 2.0 dongle that in itself requires no drivers under Windows XP or Vista, which is handy to add Bluetooth connectivity to your PC or laptop to use with other devices, not just this keyboard. A charging base is also included as the keyboard has internal rechargeable batteries, which don’t seem in any way to be user changeable, so I hope they last a long time and a lot of charge cycles.

The keyboard itself is certainly good looking, a high-gloss black frame and brushed aluminium hand rest give a very comfortable typing position when used on a desktop, and still feels nice when using it on your lap, like you would if controlling your media centre PC in your lounge room.

The face of the keyboard is very clutter free considering the amount of shortcut keys and touchpads it has. Every Function [F] key doubles as a shortcut key. When you press the [Fn] key in the bottom right of the keyboard, the F-key shortcuts light up above their respective keys and fade away nicely when the [Fn] key is released. The shortcuts include VoIP (MSN Messenger), Search, Mail, Internet, Media Player controls, and 4 programmable keys. I say 4, but in actual fact, all the keys except the media player control keys can be reprogrammed to anything you like through the Logitech software. Lights on!
