Logitech's diNovo Media Desktop is a dramatically designed Bluetooth keyboard and MediaPad, optical mouse, and Bluetooth hub combination that transforms the user?s work space. The visually striking diNovo keyboard gives first-class comfort, while the separate MediaPad lets users remotely command today?s PC digital-media interface to enjoy their favorite pictures and musical selections. The MediaPad also displays e-mail or instant message notifications, media playback status, and provides smart calculator functionality.

The ensemble includes Logitech?s high-precision MX-900 rechargeable optical mouse. The diNovo also turns the PC into a Bluetooth control center, letting users synchronize data between their Bluetooth PDAs, cell phones, other devices, and their PCs. You've never seen anything like the MediaPad, a Bluetooth remote commander for all your digital media. Use it to remotely view, select, and launch your favorite jukebox tunes, video clips, or digital photos.

The MediaPad also displays e-mail or instant message notifications, and it lets you monitor media playback status, even when you're away from your desk. It's a numeric keypad with a built-in smart calculator. And you can view the time and date on the digital display. To streamline your desktop, a single external device performs two critical functions: it serves as a wireless hub for all your Bluetooth devices and as a fast power charger for the mouse. Communicate instantly using your Bluetooth headset, or easily exchange data between your PC and your Bluetooth PDA, cell phone, and printer. Thanks to the power of Bluetooth, you can do it all without wires.

But what is Bluetooth, anyway?
Bluetooth is a standard wireless technology aimed at allowing users to make effortless, fast connections between various devices, such as mobile devices and computers. The sophisticated mode of transmission ensures protection from interference and increased data security and offers greater wireless range. Your Bluetooth devices by Logitech will work up to 30 feet away from the included Bluetooth wireless hub.

  • Expert Web navigation
    Programmable one-touch buttons for direct access to any page, file, or program you choose.

MediaPad Features
  • A Bluetooth remote media commander
    Use it to remotely view, select, and launch your favorite jukebox tunes, video clips, or digital photos. Monitor media playback status, even when you're away from your desk.
  • Communications center
    Receive e-mail or instant message notifications on the MediaPad's interactive display, even when you're away from your PC.
  • A desktop companion
    The MediaPad also acts as a numeric keypad with a built-in smart calculator. And you can view the time and date on the digital display, automatically synchronized with your PC's clock.
Mouse Features
  • MX Optical Engine
    A new benchmark in optical systems combines high resolution and a high frame rate to achieve superior performance.
  • More efficient Web navigation
    Cruise Control combines two buttons with a scroll wheel to ease scrolling through long documents or Web sites. And two thumb buttons let you move forward or backward between pages.
  • Quick-switch program selector
    Navigate back and forth among active programs and documents.
  • Comfortable design
    Its sleek, contoured shape fits snugly into your right hand for optimal comfort.
Rapid-Charge Base Station/Bluetooth Wireless Hub
  • Connect
    Connect up to seven Bluetooth devices at a given time to the Bluetooth wireless hub
  • Communicate freely
    Create, send, and receive short messages with your Bluetooth keyboard and your Bluetooth cellular phone.
  • Get organized
    Synchronize your Bluetooth PDA or cell phone with your PC.
  • Share with ease
    Easily transfer pictures and files between your PC and your Bluetooth mobile devices.
  • Free yourself from cables and clutter
    Print to a Bluetooth printer and accomplish other computing tasks without wires, and use your mouse or keyboard up to 30 feet away from your PC.

1 out of 5 stars Dont bother: inferior flawed product   March 8, 2008
Great design and features. Problem is that the bluetooth hub & software are inoperable and not fit for sale. Will work when you don't install the bluetooth stack but only the newer setpoint software. The only advantage at that point is that it has more range than other RF wireless sets. You can read details about the flaws in most other reviews here. Updated software doesn't solve the problems. I was happy when the cats puked on it (again) after which it stopped for good. They must have known it was no good.
I will never again buy a bluetooth mouse/keyboard and feel cheated as I paid the early high price for it and lost many $$$.



1 out of 5 stars has plenty of issues...   February 29, 2008
Well, I have not had this keyboard combo for very long but now I see where all the users are frustrated. As others have mentioned it looses connection on all three devices here and there, not one set time or cause its just that one or more devices will just stop working and disappear from he bluetooth menu!?!? You have to keep a separate USB mouse and keyboard on very close on hand to use this wireless combination, how does that figure in? Expensive for all the problems it has but sure looks cool, I guess I can just leave it sitting on the desk for looks only!?! If they could only get the thing to work!


1 out of 5 stars Keys wore off after only a few months.   February 21, 2008
This keyboard has a wonderful feel, but the mediapad does chew up the batteries. The decals have begun to come off the keys in a serious way after just a few months too. Very disappointing given that we've had over a century of manufacturing experience with keyboards!


1 out of 5 stars Never Worked   January 22, 2008
The mouse had a good feel and nice response. That was the only thing I could get to work. After much effort I did get the keyboard and keypad to work briefly, but once I installed the software, as directed, it was only the mouse...for a while. Eventually it quit too. I spent a couple of hours following their limited directions and finally went on line to find automated support that said it must me defective...return it. I will.


3 out of 5 stars Great...BUT Does NOT work as Advertised with Vista   December 3, 2007
This is a great keyboard and mouse combo, but if you have Vista the Bluetooth hub only works for the keyboard and mouse, it will not work to sync your cell phone, working with headsets, etc.

Probably way overpriced for just a standard wireless keyboard and mouse. While I like it, I wish it would work as advertised with Vista.

If you have XP you are fine and it will work, but Vista kills the additional bluetooth functionality.
