As part of my ongoing cable elimination project, I'm searching for the perfect wireless keyboard and mouse replacement options. diNovo Media Desktop comes closer to what I want than anything else I've tried. Bluetooth keyboards and mice continue to have the disadvantage of lagging a few seconds after bootup, but it's rare for me to reboot my primary system more than once per week. Why this Logitech package? The keyboard and numeric keypad are disconnected allowing me to keep the mouse and main alphanumeric keys closer together, requiring less distance to reach the mouse. The mouse is comfortable, but not much different than other optical mouse options.
The numeric keypad is the reason this keyboard is a winner. It combines all the standard functions of a keypad with a small LCD display and media control center for playing back audio and video quickly and easily. The LCD shows incoming instant messages, new mail notifications, and current track being displayed. Calculator functions display on the LCD as well, putting the calculator function at your fingertips instead of needing to use an on-screen app. Onscreen browsing of audio and video works similar to set-top box style devices, without needing an additional component. If the MediaPad, as the keypad is called, were available as a separate hardware unit, I'd take one with my laptop when I travel.
