Product Review: Logitech diNovo Cordless Desktop
By Alice Hill

My office keyboard was getting long in the tooth (or was that long in the cord?) so I decided it was time to go cordless. I chose Logitech’s sleek diNovo keyboard and mouse set as a departure from the Starfleet-style command centers most keyboards were becoming. To be honest, I was sick of giving up valuable desk space to rows and rows of function keys, sliders, and knobs I never used. The diNovo is sheer minimalism at its best. The keyboard is actually in two pieces, with a separate numeric keypad and a smaller than average mouse. The standalone keypad was quickly moved to a far corner of my desk and doubles now as an occasional calculator when I am not doing spreadsheets.

And suddenly I had desk space galore.

The mouse I noticed got dinged in other reviews I read online for being too small, but for a frequent traveler who uses a tiny travel mouse on the road, I actually liked the way it felt in my hand. The smaller size is an adjustment if you prefer those huge puffy super-ergonomic mice, but like I found with my tiny Microsoft travel mouse, the small size lets you move the pointer around in a much more nimble way once you get your bearings. I would say a few days will get you acclimated. Read Complete Review Here

You didn't meantion it, but can you still use the detachable keypad for a remote for a messenger app and/or a remote for an music playback app (winamp for instance)?
