Digital camera reviews of Logitech diNovo Mini
Digital camera Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Needed a keyboard mouse for a HTPC and found this and figured I try it out. I am very surprised at how quick I became efficient in using it being as small and the different layout for certain buttons. Being USB, it even works in the Bios. Great range, well at least 15-20 feet and the chargeable battery lasts a long time, I have charged it once and have used it for over 20 days.Digital camera Review: Awesome Product

This product is amazing.
This little thing is very handy for your media computer in the living room or where ever. Excellent range, but its blue-tooth so that's sorta pretty much a given. Its durability isn't too bad. Dont let the little ones get a hold of it though. I do believe that they could potentially break the plastic cover that covers the keyboard. The Mouse pad is a little touchy nothing you cant get use to though. Basically plugs and plays. The setpoint software is a nice add on. Not required for the keyboard but it does help program buttons and check your battery status. Also has a nice interface such as on screen volume that pops up when you hit the volume button.
Its worth the money.
Digital camera Review: Awesome except for battery and software
Summary: 4 Stars
Had this thing about 2 months now. It's fantastic for browsing the web on my HTPC from my couch. Full keyboard is great, fits in my hands well, and is sturdy enough that I don't hesitate to toss it onto the couch when i'm done.
However: This is my second unit from Logitech. The first unit they sent me had a battery life of 2 days, tops, before it would stop responding. The replacement unit lasts 4-5 days before it drops off. I'm in the process of getting this one replaced, too--but it sounds like it might be a chronic issue with this. So, don't believe the battery life of "30 Days"...
Also: as always, Logitech's hardware is leaps and bounds ahead of their software. On Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit), the reprogrammable keys do not work, likely because the software that manages the shortcuts is buggy as all hell. After anywhere from 2 hours to 15 hours, the software will stop responding to the programmed functions, and revert to default functions (or nothing at all). Restarting the program (Logitech SetPoint) doesn't work, and even restarting the whole machine only works half the time. This is with Setpoint 4.8--hopefully to be fixed in later releases.
lastly, the touchpad is quite finicky--especially when the battery isn't fully charged.
Overall, though, there isn't another device I've seen that can perform these functions. All the windows keyboard shortcuts i'm used to work great, and you can't beat chilling on the couch and surfing the web or walking into the kitchen and still being able to control the volume--the bluetooth is great.

Works great on my tv/computer. Had this for several months now
Good:
Battery life is amazing. Solid week plus for me before i have to charge it. Overnight on the charger is more than enough to re-up the power.
Dropped it several times on the hardwoods, hadn't broken to bits yet
There is a right click function which is great!
Illuminated keyboard is really neat when its movie time. Turns off quickly so not to bother
Mouse is totally useable. I wouldn't use it on my computer but for a TV mouse its great.
Love it!
Bad:
none so far...
Digital camera Review: Awesome, works with Mac OS X... could be more sensitive...
Summary: 4 Stars
This thing is sweet... I use it as an all purpose remote for a Mac powered home entertainment system... my only complaint is that the touch pad could be more sensitive / tactile... slightly more difficult to navigate the cursor than I had hoped... but really, it is a minor complaint over all.
