A work of art
By M. Jennings
While it certainly isn't a cheap keybooard, the diNovo Edge for the the Mac is a beautiful keyboard and will compliment your mac. I used to have a msft bluetooth keyboard that I used and it stuck out like a sore thumb next to my iMac (in addition, it didn't have the Mac specific keys like cmd). Once I got my Edge, all was harmonized in the world again. Only con for this product is that if your keyboard power dies, it takes a few minutes to do a quick recharge. Therefore I try to put the keyboard in the cradle at the end of each week to prevent this from happening.

Dinovo Edge, Mac Edition
By Emily Penisson
Pros: compatibility, design, easy to install, easy to use
Cons: Build Quality, expensive

The keyboard is just beautiful and elegant especially because of the brushed aluminum palm rest to contrast the piano black. Although the keyboard is beautiful, the unit I received has some cosmetic defects most likely from Logitech's manufacturing. The aluminum palm rest on my unit is not tightly flushed on one side and there are some scuffs. Here's an image uploaded by another Amazon user that illustrates the issue: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B000J43HJ8/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_2?ie=UTF8&index=2 . It's quite noticeable. I will be contacting Logitech to see if I can get a replacement (I'll update as to whether or not they'll honor their warranty). This is disappointing since its such an expensive keyboard. Personally, I found the keys on the Dinovo to be smaller than regular keyboards. The spacing also seemed off when I began using it initially. It'll take some getting used to. Typing on this keyboard is very quite as well which is a major plus considering the keys aren't completely flushed and flat (like the new HP Wireless Elite Keyboard, which is also a terrific keyboard by the way).

I've read some reviews where users were complaining about the volume control on the keyboard isn't very responsive however I didn't think so. I found the volume control to be very responsive. The touch disk is fairly responsive however when using the touch disc the cursor on the display shows a tail that seems to be due to a lag. The tap to click on the touch disc isn't terrific but it does do the job. Sometimes I find myself having to tap multiple times to get the thing to work. On the left side there's a dedicated cursor button that I'm not really sure why Logitech decided to put it there since there are already dedicated left and right click buttons under the touch disc. What's the point of having another cursor button on the other side of the touch disc anyway?

Something that I would have liked to see Logitech do was make the keyboard both wireless and wired (charging through a USB port as another option). I don't like having to charge it on the base...seems sort of ridiculous. I also would have liked to see a user replaceable battery, this isn't a very green product.

All in all, its functions well for what it is....a keyboard. Some may still find it hard to justify the price. There aren't many slick keyboards out there that are wireless.

FOR WINDOWS USERS:
For those of you who are looking to purchase the Dinovo (Mac edition) for a Windows machine in order to save money like myself (wasn't purchased from Amazon), the keyboard does work on a Windows OS (I'm using Vista).
What to know for Windows users:
The command key acts as the windows key and option acts as alt. The eject button does not work, all of the other keys work fine. The touch disc works however the scrolling doesn't work. The keyboard runs under a generic driver. If you have SetPoint installed for another Logitech product, it will not be recognized by SetPoint. I thought this would be useful to some since I wasn't able to find this type of information on the web before I decided to by the Mac version. In sum, its probably wiser to get the Windows version to get the options in SetPoint, but that's decisions is yours! :p

Broken drivers for Leopard and Snow Leopard
By W. Welch
What was once a great keyboard (I've had mine a year and loved it) is now approaching useless with my upgrade to OS X 10.5.8. During clicking and dragging operations, the keyboard drops whatever you are dragging exactly 2 seconds after you have begun. No matter what. There's some chaos for you.

Logitech has acknowledged the problem and offers no solution. Well, actually, their "solution" was to drop the mac version of the product and leave their customers hanging. You can read about it in the logitec forums, search for "DiNovo Edge Mac Edition Touchdisc Issue". And you'll note the Mac version is no longer listed as a product on their website.

Avoid this one like the plague.
