With Logitech diNovo Mini enjoy total control of your PC entertainment from your sofa. Palm-sized, cordless mini-keyboard fits in your hand and gives you optimal control and access of the PC entertainment you love, including browsing the Internet, watching TV, listening to music and playing PC games. Dedicated Windows Media Center controls optimize launch and navigation of Microsoft’s popular entertainment platform. Integrated, dual-purpose ClickPad enhances control and access with innovative technology that can be used as a touch pad and a directional pad. Rechargeable Li-ion batteries give you up to one month of battery life. Bluetooth wireless technology provides long-range wireless control from up to 10 m (30 ft). Backlighting makes text entry effortless, even in low light.
It is great for typing a lot on but there’s no where to put it, and it’s awkward using a real mouse on the couch or always holding your hands in the air and flicking around to use the Gyration.
Logitech diNovo Mini has excellent backlighting that only has one flaw. Logitech diNovo Mini makes it too hard to see the blue function keys like the ‘ and ” but you can see all the shifted keys easily. Logitech diNovo Mini turns on only the trackpad backlighting when using the mouse, probably to save power but you can light up the keyboard by tapping the large function or shift keys.
The buttons are all pretty small and the media (Play,Next,etc) are a little awkward compared to using them on a Harmony remote but it’s nice to have everything on one pad and not have to pick up a remote or a keyboard or a mouse to do everything.
Logitech diNovo Mini is highly recommend for anyone who wants to use an HTPC in the living room, or actually uses their PS3 as a browser. Logitech diNovo Mini is not for desktop PC’s at all, you will probably be better served with a much cheaper remote or something like the DiNovo Edge with it’s media pad.
