Logitech has melded the keyboard of a BlackBerry with a flexible cursor control pad into an attractive, coffee-table-ready package that will let you master your HTPC without cluttering up your living room with clunky hardware.

I've been regularly using my Dinovo Mini since a couple weeks after it went on sale. I have an HTPC hooked up to my HDTV. I searched far and wide for an elegant solution to control my computer from afar. Full sized wireless keyboards look harsh in a living room environment. The Mini is sleek... Read the full review →

So I just got this baby yesterday secondhand on eBay because it's so pricey brand new. It's totally worth it though! First thing you'll notice is just how tiny it really is. The thing really is palm sized! Logitech have fit so many keys and functions onto it without it being cramped.... Read the full review →

I purchased a diNovo Mini to be used with my UMPC (which lacks a hardware keyboard) and have found myself not using it as much. The device itself is a good size portable keyboard for your HTPC setup but as an on-the-go keyboard it is a bit too big. I do not recommend this for anything else other... Read the full review →

I just got the Logitech DiNovo Mini from Dell ( I know, ew, but it was %20 off there), and I thought I would do a little review here. First of all I Love this thing. My previous solution for controlling my HTPC was a Logitech LX710 keyboard and mouse combo. While it did the trick, it was bulky and... Read the full review →

A close comparision, though smaller of course, would be the design of the Droid keyboard...a single surface with... Read the full review →

I bought one to talk to the Linux box I keep by the TV. I pushed past the considerable sticker shock (it cost about the same as the PC it's talking to) and made an impulse purchase to get my home theatre setup working. Out of the box it never worked terribly well - would fail to wake up quite... Read the full review →

I use my Dinovo Mini almost Daily. My bedroom TV is hooked up to my Dell Studio Mini. I watch a lot of shows on Hulu or torrents. Dinovo mini was the best option to use as a remote. It wasn't cheap but was worth it. Note, I use the dongle not bluetooth. To sum up the experience: battery life is... Read the full review →

Pros: 1. Looks Cool 2. Good form factor 3. Works well to control a media center but terrible to control your PC. Even to have to use it once in a while to control the PC gets real old real fast. Cons: 1. The arrow pad is pretty bad and that is a main needed function for HTPC use. 2. Does not work... Read the full review →
