i like that the keys are back lit...... that was all that caught my attention.... i really wish the PS3 wireless keyboard were lit. That would make it the ultimate.....

I have the Di Novo Edge that I use with my HTPC. It is an excellent keyboard, probably the nicest I've used in 20 years - they keyboard doesn't hold me back for typing speed. Also, as a reference, you can find it at $150 without trying too hard.

I think that we'll find the Di Novo Mini at a price closer to $100 after it's been out for 3-6 months.

Too expensive by far.

I use a "Gene" wireless kbd gotten from mp3car store for abt $70. I about 60% size of regular kbd and really fits the hands well, with a good trackball, left and right click buttons, plus scrolling roller...

I was not ready to shell out 150.00 dollars..... So I bought 3 PS3 thumbpads, which by the way, you need to install all 3 transmitters, will not work off of one. Plus, they arent going to use the keyboard that often. Three PS3 thumpads for 15.00 each = 45. Plus the 3 presenters with built in mouse = 29.00 each = 87. Comes out to 132.00, but everyone has a keyboard, no having to pass it around. Maybe Im the only one thats anal about that type of stuff. I really love that the thumbpads are now thinner then before, they use to be bulky. Also no more batteries, now its rechargable.

Wow, the cameraman needs to learn about lighting and they should have noise filtering equipment. However it was pretty good, looks like something a student would put together......still interesting.

As for the product, I agree it's too expensive. I'd rather spend the time trying to get the XBOX keyboard to work, it's smaller and doesn't have the extra gadgets I wouldn't use. Here's an image for those too lazy to click the link (for the Logitech).

So if your not a Mac person, then we can say your NOT running a mac in your car? So this KB works with windoze then? or are you running linux?

does anyone know if this is compatible with the mac mini. Since it is a bluetooth keyboard you should be able to connect it to your car pc, but i want to know for sure since im going to order one
