I. Function.
- The diNovo offers basically the same functions as a normal keyboard, smears are here of course, because of the size, regarding the accessibility of buttons (double occupancy) inevitable.. The writing on the Mini is more similar to the operation of a mobile phone as a standard keyboard.
- The pressure point of the keys is very good.
- The touchpad is well placed and is easily accessible with the thumb. But even after various settings, in very good Logitechsoftware- Setpoint, there are in daily operation repeatedly small irregularity in the form of unexpected cursor aberrations. Annoying, but reduced after a certain period of familiarization to a minimum. Overall, it is to use, but you can tell that it is made for use with the index finger. What, at least in my eyes, would be very uncomfortable.
- A little unusual and the lack of a right, this can be used only by means of the function key.
- The Bluetooth stick the size of a Standartusbsticks. The range is very good. I could through several walls, closed doors and a blanket to computer use, for an estimated 5-7 meters it is definitely good.
- The lighting is also very good and indispensable especially for a movie night, I do not know how I did it once at all without illuminated keys to operate the computer in a dark room.
- The battery lasts in the initial very frequent use of only about 2 days, the charging time is 4 hours but in which the keyboard is functional. But I expect that in normal operation a maturity of 1 week realized.
II. Look, feel and processing
- The diNovo Mini is here one of its strengths. The appearance is unparalleled and is definitely a looker when she is on the table you do not think first of a keyboard, but rather on innovative smartphone. In particular, the lighting is very noble.
- The feel of the keys is simply sensational, they have a rubber coating that feels very good. The touchpad, however, is a bit rough.
- The feel of the case is also good. The diNovo is very good in the hand, is very light and has a rubberized bottom, only the cover looks a little simple. Overall, however, it feels good.
- The processing is generally still be described as good. Striking and unacceptable for a device in this price range, is the wobbly battery cover. Especially when typing it moves a little inward. This me very annoying defect, but I could remove the battery compartment by a few foam stickers.
III results
Overall, the purchase of the Mini was a very good decision, it offers everything you need for a HTPC and couch surfing, looks nice feels good, but is also very expensive. The price is unjustifiably high for the device. Unfortunately, there is no comparable product to another, so everyone needs a viable HTPC remote examined sooner or later end up in the diNovo Mini. Overall, a buy rating, but because of the clattering lid a point deduction. The price can not be considered here, since no one has to buy the part.
