The diNovo Edge Mac Edition

For you Mac users out there looking for a new keyboard, you may want to hold out for Logitech’s high-end diNovo Edge Mac Edition. It has a nice artistic look with its black color and thin design, made of a Plexiglas frame with sharp angles, soft-orange backlighting, and aluminum palm rest with an anodized-silver finish that looks good with any Mac.

“We’re truly delighted to offer discerning Mac enthusiasts our highest-quality in keyboard design and performance,” says Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech’s keyboards and desktops. “From the piano-black finish to its built-in TouchDiscTM touch pad, the diNovo Edge can make it a pleasure for you to type, control music or launch your favorite applications.”


The original diNovo Media diNovo marked the launch of Logitech’s award-winning diNovo line, and this newest Mac product is extremely thin at only half an inch thick. It’s very similar to the Windows-based original, and judging from the pictures, it comes with Mac-specific keys for one-touch access to Mail, Safari browser and iTunes. You’ll see the ones you’ve come to know such as the Command, Option, Control, disk eject and a power button.

Additionally, the TouchDisc allows you to scroll and navigate from your keyboard by moving your finger up/down or left/right to control the mouse cursor on your computer’s screen. It also allows you to scroll through an open document. The keyboard features PerfectStroke, Logitech’s key system that is designed to create “longer key travel” - 3.2 mm compared to a typical 2.2 mm-sized keyboard, meaning optimal travel for your fingers to make. Micro-scissors distribute force evenly across the key surfaces, even if you strike the edge of the key, the keystroke still feels the same.

Logitech’s diNovo Edge Mac Edition comes with a charging base (four hours for a full charge that lasts up to one month, 10 minutes for one hour). Unlike its predecessor, this one does not come with a USB dongle for Bluetooth connectivity, as it connects to your Mac via your integrated Bluetooth software. It will be available later this month for $159.99 - see www.logtiech.com for additional information, and chances are you’ll be able to purchase it from www.amazon.com.
