Awesome, just awesome. If you like to be the leader of advanced technology among your friends or co-workers, then buy this now. People will be so envious of you once you show them this beautifully designed piece of equipment they might try to steal it from you, so you should think about setting traps when you are not in eye shot of your diNovo. I have found a simple snare work very well.

The on-board mouse it fantastic, it just about eliminates the need for a separate mouse unit. The small yet functional pad offers all the virtual mobility of an average mouse. The slim and wireless design frees up so much desk space it is borderline insane. The charging method is a little awkward at first, the base in the picture is the charging station, but it isn't enough to detract from the overall greatness. Another downfall is the missing number-pad, so if you are a big num-lock user just suck it up and buy this and then get a separate number-pad.

Everything works very well and there is the ability to customize a bunch of the keys to fit any number of shortcuts.

This is a good keyboard, but too expensive for the limited features it provides. This could be much better if it was backlit and had a number keypad. Keys seems to respond very well, but there seem to be some quality issues with the keyboards. I have had some keys sticking and the aluminum wrist rest being loose.

One of the biggest drawbacks to a laptop keyboard is the lack of a number pad. How can you manufacture a separate keyboard and not include one? Utterly insipid. If it had a keypad, I would give it the highest rating.

This has got to be the best keyboard I've ever owned.
I type all day long, 5 days a week and by the end of the day my hands and fingers are pretty tired.
This keyboard is so easy to type on - it feels like a good quality notebook keyboard.
The keys press down with little effort and feel responsive when I get going at 80 words a minute.
My right hand and thumb used to get numb by lunch time with the mouse I was using, but the built in track pad thingy works really well and I don't use a mouse anymore. The left click button on the left hand side helps out a lot for those tricky 3 finger maneuvers.
I was thrilled to find out the keyboard also works with my PlayStation 3 and I also use it in the living room for my media center computer.
Overall, the quality of the keyboard far surpasses any other keyboard I've ever owned. The unit feels solid and the aluminum wrist rest stays cool all day long. The keyboard is also very attractive and the charging base is solid and holds the keyboard securely. The battery charge lasts a long time - I can't think of a time when the battery was low - but I charge it once a week.
Overall, I give this keyboard double high fives ! ! !

I now own three of these keyboards (all PC versions not the MAC version - who is willing to pay the fruit tax for something like this). One I use on my mac mini hooked up to my entertainment center. The other two I use on desktops, one of which is a mac book pro docked 1/2 the time. I really like how the keys feel when typing and the built in volume control is handy. The mouse pad is not as useful on the desktops as I have a real mouse but on the mac mini hooked to the entertainment center its perfect. I also don't use the num-pad on the right of most extended keyboards and prefer to have a smaller "hacker-ish" keyboard. This keyboard is a space saver and complements your work area nicely.
