In case you’re looking for a stylish and sturdy third-party keyboard option for your Mac, try out Logitech’s new diNovo Keyboard Mac Edition. The peripheral features a full-size layout, nineteen shortcut keys for direct access to Mac programs, an integrated number pad, no cords (using 2.4GHz wireless) and a 3-year battery life. We reviewed the diNovo Edge keyboard in August and loved it. This one, at $US99, is about $US60 cheaper without sacrificing too many of the features of its more expensive bigger brother.
Logitech’s diNovo edge keyboard, originally billed as “the most advanced keyboard in the world” has only been available in Windows versions, but today Logitech are releasing a version for Macs. Just like the original it’s got multimedia keys, “PerfectStroke” keys and a touchpad-like touchdisc, but this time it’s also got Mac-specific keys for launching apps like Mail and Safari. Plus it’s got a power button, so you can switch off your Mac by remote. It connects through Bluetooth, comes with a charger base/stand and will cost you a jot under US$160. Press release below.
A reader claims he just participated in a survey for a wireless remote from—probably from Logitech—that looks like it’s in the final design stages. The tipster claims the keyboard is probably going to be branded either the “Slice”, “Keymote”, or “Digital Living Keyboard” under the DiNovo line.
Of course, this is a survey and all of this stuff is probably not even close to being final, but it’s a nice sneak peek into what Logitech could be thinking about doing. See the full specs after the jump.
