Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect for a home theater
I replaced a large wireless keyboard and mouse with this little gadget, and I'm very happy. My spouse hated to see that clunky keyboard on the coffee table, and was very happy when I got the diNovo Mini, which is not much bigger than a remote.

After adjusting the sensitivity controls, I found the touch pad is an effective mouse. It's not quite as good as the real thing, but it gets the job done for a home theater. Similarly, the keyboard isn't as good as a full sized one, but for typing URLs and search requests it works very well.

I've been using it for almost two months and I find it it very reliable. I haven't had any bluetooth connection problems.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Probably the best keyboard for a HTPC
Works very well with a Mac Mini in spite of the fact it isn't officially supported. Been using it for a month and the battery is still going strong. The trackpad could be a bit more responsive in scrolling but the keyboard is great and doesn't miss a beat.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good product but disconnect problem
I bought this keyboard a couple weeks ago to use with my HTPC that runs on Media Center.
It's exactly what you need if you want to be able to use both the regular keyboard and mouse mode (occasionally) or the remote control mode for Media Center (frequently).
The switch from regular to remote could be a little more convenient though (very small slider switch near the mousepad).
The keyboard itself is very small so don't buy this if you plan to do extensive texting like for emails. I use it to navigate Internet.
The life spawn of the battery is great.

However there is one problem, as reported by others, the bluetooth link will sometimes disconnect if you let the keyboard stand un-used for hours (and the PC is on or the PC is standby). This is one major issue for us HTOC users that want to put our systems in standby instead if shutdown.

I haven't tried yet to replace the dongle as suggested by others.





Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nicely built but really small
I knew it was small, just didn't realize quite how small. Nicely built, but of no use for anything aside from a HTPC remote, and for that sole purpose its too expensive.

They keyboard is too cramped for anything but the shortest typing, and the touch pad is too small, particularly on screens set to the resolutions an HD TV will support.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Expensive Gaget, Cute But Not Easy Use
I bought this to use with my laptop in conjunction with a large external monitor. I needed to be at a distance from the laptop and needed a keyboard for text entry. I did not want a large keyboard / mouse combo because I didn't have a desk or table to put those items on in regards to the location of operation. Hence this seemed to be the perfect solution. Expensive but it looked practical.

After a day of using this, I find that this keyboard is not too responsive and clumsy in comparison to a real keyboard / mouse.

The mouse pad doesn't move as smoothly as one that is plugged in and the keyboard, while it may rival a blackberry keyboard is no prize either.

Perhaps it is the remote USB - blue tooth connection that is slow. I don't know. However for the price I expected better. Unfortunately there are not a lot of mini wireless keyboards at this time.

It does have some sleek features but in the the end you are buying it to be a wireless keyboard / mouse and to that end it is a little irritating to use. So if you need it, you are kind of stuck for now. If you have the luxury of a small table to use, I would recommend a more conventional cheaper wireless mouse and keyboard.
