First Look: Logitech diNovo...

Every Mac needs a keyboard, but many people may not realize they have a choice. Most people settle with the keyboard that comes with their iMac while laptop users have no choice but to use their built-in keyboard. However, if you have a Mac mini or Mac Pro, or simply want a more flexible, full-size keyboard to control your iMac or laptop, then take a close look at Logitech’s diNovo Edge Keyboard.

Like Apple’s own wireless keyboard, this item also connects to your Mac through Bluetooth at a range up to 30 feet. Apple’s keyboard is much less expensive ($79) compared to Logitech’s keyboard ($159.99). However, Logitech’s item offers far more features.

Apple’s device requires three AAA batteries. Logitech’s device contains a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a charging dock that doubles up as a keyboard holder to clear space off your desk. A five minute charge is enough to power the device for an entire day, while a longer four-hour charge can provide enough power to last for a month before recharging.
