Logitech® diNovo™ Media Desktop™ 

Let's start with the diNovo's biggest flaw, the price. At £200 this has to be one of the most expensive keyboard mouse combos ever to go on sale. But is it worth it? Forget the price for a moment and the diNovo is a fantastic piece of hardware. The first thing that strikes you is the keyboard is split into two parts, the main keyboard and the 'media pad' (otherwise known as the extra keys on the right hand side of a normal keyboard that you rarely use). The 'media pad' doubles as a remote control which can be used up to 10 meters away from the Bluetooth hub to play and navigate your music, picture and video files. Both keyboard and pad have gorgeous styling and are constructed as if they were built to last a small nuclear war.

Wireless Bluetooth technology is used to free the keyboard, pad and mouse from the base unit. The Bluetooth wireless hub not only supports connections to 3rd party Bluetooth devices such as mobiles, headsets, PDAs, video cameras and printers but also doubles as a charging station for the wireless MX 900 optical mouse. Unlike every other Bluetooth hub I have tried I was able to connect to the diNovo hub with all of my Bluetooth devices successfully. Connection with other Bluetooth devices is facilitated through the Logitech SetPoint software which I found incredibly easy to use.

So is the diNovo worth £200? My advice is to buy one to find out...
