Greatest deal ever! (at least so far).......2007-12-31
So far so good, I've only had it for about 3 weeks and so far I am in love with (1) How compact it is, case and all slide in my bag without that much added weight (2) How easy it is to sync, FAR easier than syncing my bluetooth for goodness sake! (3) the keyboard took a little getting used to but once I got the hang of it, it was no problem!
I recommend it or your phone if you really use the keyboard a lot of for an extended period of time. I do a lot of updating to word documents and create spreadsheets in excel so for me it's a God send.
Spectacular.......2007-12-31
Absolutely fantastic. Others have complained about having two function (FN) keys to worry about, numbers and special characters, etc. I have had no such troubles. Became accustomed with the keyboard format almost instantly.
Purchased the keyboard for use with my N800 Internet tablet, and works flawlessly with it. Do a lot of writing, programming work on it, and haven't had any troubles.
Excellent.

iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard.......2007-12-30
Just as other reviewers said, this bluetooth keyboard worked fine with my Dell X30, too. It's really cute. One star gone because they used cheap lable sticker on the keyboard and it's really not easy to get rid of it.

Customer Reviews:
The Most Expensive Keyboard you'll ever own.......2007-12-31
If you are looking for the best looking keyboard on the market then look no further. The diNovo Edge is like the overprice Mercedes you've always wanted. With regards to its performance it's the most functional and balanced keyboard I've ever used. Like your over priced Mercedes you get a well built slim line keyboard. No need to replace batteries, as the batteries are integrated into the keyboard. The charger is very good. I've run my keyboard for over two months before I needed to recharge it. The tactile feel of the keys are comfortable and the touch pad on the right provides convenience if your using your keyboard in a living room configuration where a flat surface is not always available for a mouse. The docking station used to recharge the keyboard is great if you have room on a non-cluttered desk but for those people who love clutter it makes for a challenge to charge your keyboard.
Very Good Experience even with a MAC.......2007-12-30
I have a MAc Mini connected to my LCD and was looking for an integrated keyboard and mouse that would look great in my living room.
The Dinovo Edge was the perfect match.
Leopard identified the keyboard and installation was a breeze. The mouse and keyboard worked straight away. I had to customise the shortcuts which was very easy using:
http://5thirtyone.com/archives/751
The only drawback I saw was that the mouse could be a little difficult to use (small touch area) Other than that, it is excellent.
Elegant Keyboard.......2007-12-20
Has everything you expect from a keyboard, but has so much more. As soon as you start to type, you feel and hear the difference. The look is very elegant. A little costly, but worth it, imho.
Slim and stylish.......2007-12-18
This takes up very little space, is almost preternaturally thin, and runs for well over a month before it has to be dropped back into its included charger base.
I especially like the little touch pad, which can be used to control the mouse in a pinch (a real mouse is, in my opinion, still necessary).
The action of the keys is that of a short-throw, high-end laptop, like a Thinkpad. I love this, and I can really type quickly with it. If you like something that feels like an older electric typewriter with big keys that move a lot before registering a hit, this is not the product for you. The key action is light, but has tactile feedback. One of the best in the market right now.
When I first got it, I connected it using my existing Bluetooth adapter, and it worked fine but wasn't recognized until Windows came up and loaded the drivers. This is a problem for making changes in the BIOS and other things that happen before Windows is running. It may not happen often, but it is necessary from time to time. The solution is to use the included dongle instead. It connects to the keyboard by itself, without drivers, and makes it look like a standard USB keyboard before Windows is up. Now that I've switched to that, it works just like it was wired.
very nice keyboard.......2007-12-08
I took a chance buying this pricey keyboard but I've been very satisfied with it. The look and feel are great. The key layout is very well thought out, with buttons like mute and mouse-click in all the right places. The only downside is the touchpad, which is so small and cramped -- not much larger than a postage stamp -- as to be rendered useless. Instead of the touchpad, I use an external ergonomic mouse (the joystick mouse made by 3M). Overall, though, I am very pleased with the keyboard and recommend it to others.

Mouse !.......2007-12-26
Bought this mouse a couple of days ago.
Well sensetivity is pretty poor, not realy a gaming mouse.
If ur playing games in which you need precise chrosair, like Counter-Strinke, TF2 etc..u should get something else.
Guality of the mouse is good, its shiny and all that.
My rating would be something like 1.5-3
Simple Design, but great overall feel.......2007-12-23
It's a pretty basic mouse, but it's one of the best I've used. The bluetooth works well and had no issues connecting with my computer. It's well designed and ergonomically comfortable despite seeming a bit small, and I have large hands. Comes with a travel bag that is, again rather basic, but very practical. I usually find laser mice to be oversensitive, but this mouse is well balanced in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. No unique features here, but if you looking for a basic, good quality, stylish, bluetooth mouse for your laptop, or even a desktop, this is it.
Great Mouse!.......2007-12-21
I am using the Logitech V470 with a MacBook Pro and it's awesome. It works really well, and feels solid. The software doesn't take over the machine like some other companies Intellimouse ;) software. I have large hands, but this mouse fits great and is very comfortable. I also run Windows in Parallels and its great on that side of the world.
Awesome mouse!
It works.......2007-12-13
Purchased for iMac as a replacement for the bluetooth Mighty Mouse, since the MM scroll button stops working after a while, and I have to pry it apart to clean it. This is a more than adequate substitution, the wheel tilts to the right or left, allowing horizontal scrolling in Photoshop, etc. This might be hard on larger hands, as it's a small mouse, only 4 inches (10 cm) long and 2.35 inches (5 cm) wide. It is symmetrical, will work easily with either hand. I notice that as it wakes or sleeps, it interrupts the sleep cycle of my computer, something that I wouldn't notice if I chose a later time to sleep my computer. Sleep is not user settable with the software that comes with it. Wakes from reserve quickly. Crisp action.
Great mouse.......2007-12-12
I was a little hesitant about this mouse after reading that it is on the same frequency as my wireless home network, but am glad I decided to try it. I am happy to report after using it for a few weeks now that I have had no noticeable problems using this either at home or at school where there is a wireless network as well. The setup was easy, the mouse works as advertised, and because it is bluetooth I don't need to have a key sticking out of my laptop to use it. I recommend getting yourself 4 rechargeable AA's, one set to use and one to use while charging, so you don't have to keep buying batteries.

Great Bluetooth Mouse.......2007-12-30
I bought this mouse about a month ago for my new laptop. It was very easy to setup and start using. I love the Bluetooth feature since I don't have any receivers protruding from my laptop. Overall, this is a great mouse.
Perfect for my notebook.......2007-12-29
This mouse replaces the corded one that came with my ASUS laptop. The new mouse fits the hand well and is lighter than I thought since it has two AA batteries. There is no lag when moving from a stationary position. It is very sensitive and I use it on my leg or chest with no problem. Well worth the price. I never turn it off and the batteries have not been replaced yet.
Wonderful little mouse.......2007-12-29
This will be short and sweet. This mouse is fantastic. The build quality is top notch, with the materials being smooth and sturdy. The scroll wheel is smooth, but not loose, and the top shell is perfect. It also is light and small, but isn't too small for big hands like some notebook mice, and has a solid weight to it, while still being light.
The Bluetooth works seamlessly with my MacBook Pro, running Leopard, and the battery life is good. The Laser tracking is spot on, with no jumping around. The best part is that there is no little dongle that takes up a USB port.
If you want a good wireless mouse, stop looking and buy this one. I guess the best thing I can say about it is that it makes me want to use my mouse more and more.
Very Good Product.......2007-12-22
Worked perfectly with my Vista laptop. I don't notice any lag at all when using the mouse, and works on every surface I've tried so far. It's a laptop mouse, not full-size, so it takes a little getting used to if you are coming from a desktop mouse.
great feel, great look, awesome mouse.......2007-12-22
Awesome mouse that fits right in your hand. The material feels solid and not "sticky" or "plasticky" Since its got the bluetooth, the main reason I bought it, one doesn't have to mess around with the usb plug-in reciever. Great response time. All-around solid mouse.
Product Description

This compact yet full-size wireless keyboard folds up for portability, while giving you the benefits of true touch-typing. Plus, the freedom of Bluetooth Wireless Technology allows you to work with or without your Treo smartphone docked on the pullout easel.
Customer Reviews:
Compatible with Vista.......2007-12-23
I spoke with the Palm tech before purchasing this keyboard. It is now compatibile with Vista. There was a previous review from November that said it wasn't. There have been updates for the Palm products for Vista since that review was written. Be assured that you can use this keyboard with your Vista system.
Bluetooth Keyboard for my Palm TX.......2007-12-20
I was looking for a replacement for my IR keyboard and was somewhat hesitant about this one. My IR keyboard was flimsy and felt like cheap plastic. Not this keyboard.
This bluetooth keyboard is strudy with thicker plastic and has a better tactile feel when typing. Also the software will automatically reconnect with my TX when the device powers off. All I do is start the device using one of the hard buttons and start to type. About 10 seconds later, the keyboard recognizes the signal and reconnects. This is fantastic for me.
Great keyboard, better driver needed........2007-11-10
The Palm Treo 700wx may have its own built-in keypad, but there's nothing like using an actual keyboard to take notes, write word documents or respond to e-mail messages from colleagues. The keyboard itself is excellent - responds as well as any keyboard I've ever used. Unlike other keyboards, there is a line of keys for the numbers (I've seen some other keyboards that don't have this separate line of keys...what a pain!). Many shortcuts on the keyboard itself. The easel is sturdy enough for desktop use, but I wouldn't recommend it for travel.
Here are the disadvantages of this keyboard. For one, like any bluetooth product, it will eat up your phone's battery life. Second, there is no feasible way that I can see to actually plug in the Treo while using this keyboard (anybody who has found a way to do so on a hard surface, help would be appreciated) - this means that your battery should be charged before using the keyboard for a long period of time. Third, the driver for the keyboard seems to be very buggy for the Treo 700wx - I've had to reinstall it three times...including directly after the first installation because it would not connect to the keyboard. This is very easy to resolve - but it's still a bit of a pain if you're in the middle of a meeting and can't connect the Treo and the keyboard.
Overall, it's definitely the best keyboard that was available when I purchased it and, despite the negative aspects that I listed, I would still highly recommend it.
Works great, but It's not a desktop keyboard.......2007-11-08
This keyboard works great. It is solid enough for use, though the device support stand is thin and seems like it would break easily. I have experienced no connection issues. Pairing the device requires use of a keyboard connection application instead of the regular bluetooth application and I have ended up wasting a minute or two on a couple of occasions by choosing the standard bluetooth app then having to close it out and open the keyboard connection app. The split spacebar is a little awkward to get used to at first and the keys seem like they are not as solid as those on my desktop or laptop keyboard; but these are both understandable issues for a portable keyboard. It has over 30 functions (such as home, menu, calc, etc.) that help me keep my hands on the keyboard instead of fishing for my stylus. These are accessed by holding down a function key then tapping a standard key. Most of these dual-purpose keys are located on the number keys across the top and on the top row of letters.
not for Vista.......2007-11-08
Unfortunately Palm hasn't been able to make their product compatible with Vista-I hope they can correct it soon. As a result I am returning the keyboard.

Customer Reviews:
If you are a Gamer, look elsewhere.......2007-12-31
I enjoy gaming. I have my computer hooked up to my 62" TV. I bought this combo so I could game in comfort. I am located about 5 feet from the BT receiver. The keyboard loses connection about every 3rd time and takes at least 3 seconds sometimes more to come out of sleep mode (which it goes into very quickly). You'd think with such a fast sleep mode setting it wouldn't suck batteries so bad. I have to replace the batteries every 3-4 days in both the keyboard and mouse. The mouse lags which makes it about impossible to play anything timed or MMO style. It works moderately well for just everyday stuff like checking email and surfing the web (if you can get past the poor battery life and disconnects). Hopefully someday a company will step up and make a combo that really works.
Works Very Well.......2007-11-28
Excellent product. Great battery life. Excellent range. Set up under Microsoft Vista was a breeze.
Tip #1: Discard the enclosed CDs and download the latest versions of IntelliType and IntelliPoint from Microsoft.
Tip #2: Rechargeable batteries work best in medium to high drain constant use items (they lose their charge over time even when not used). This is a low drain periodic use item, so you're better off with regular batteries.
Most comfortable keyboard.......2007-09-22
I bought this keyboard and mouse 2 years ago. It was love at first sight. The most comfortable keyboard I have ever worked on.

Go with a wireless Keyboard and Mouse from Logitech Instead.......2007-09-07
I have a fetish for Wireless Keyboards and Mice. I buy a new one every 3-4 months as new versions are released in the hopes of finding a better solution. I have never found the perfect combination.
Before purchasing this setup, I was using a Microsoft Keyboard with a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse. I loved the combo but the mouse stopped functioning.
I purchased this setup about 2 months ago. This is the second time I have owned the Microsoft Bluetooth setup. The first one was about 2 years ago and was the standard unit. Decided to go with the elite in the hope that the flaws in the original were resolved. I am sad to say they are not.
Let's start with the good.
1. The unit has great range for short term use. I can use it 10-12 feet away from the desk.
2. Nice large keyboard. The keyboard is definitely the positive with this kit. Great tactile feel to the keys.
Now to the bad.
1. Even though you can take the unit a long way from the receiver, it seems to mysteriously lose contact with the computer on a random basis. The problem has lessened by moving the receiver to the USB ports on my monitor but it still happens on occassion. 90% of the time, it is the keyboard but it can happen with the mouse too. Major pain.
2. Terrible delay on the keyboard when it has gone into standby...it can take 2 seconds for the keyboard to wake up. Annoying and no other keyboard I have used does this...including Microsoft's own non-bluetooth variety.
3. The mouse wheel stops functioning for no reason. Removing the mouse and reconnecting it or rebooting the machine fixes it.
4. If you need to remove and reconnect the mouse for the above reason, you must attach a mouse because the bluetooth discovery utility will not let you use the Tab key to select the mouse in the list of discovered devices. Simply bad UI.
The technology used in this package is just out of date. Microsoft needs to update it. The Logitech setups run rings around this as far as features go. They also have more reliable connectivity, less lag and a better price.
If you must have Bluetooth (not sure why you do), this is your best option. Otherwise, pick one of any of the competing Logitech devices and you will be happier.
Keyboard eats batteries.......2007-09-06
I put lithium batteries in both the mouse and keyboard when I got them back in March 2007. I have replaced the keyboard batteries 3 times, and 0 times for the mouse!!!
Keyboard also loses connection sometimes when I'm using it. I would expect this to be a bit more consistent. My wireless keyboard from Kensington for my other PC has none of these issues.

The Ipod radio is really wonderfull, and very esay to use and carry. I'm very glad.
HP Bluetooth Pc Card Mouse - Great invention!!!.......2007-11-17
I was a bit skeptical about this product before purchasing it. It may appear that it would be uncomfortable in your hand due to its edges and angle. But it works and feels great. No more bulky mouse stuck in my bookbag. It is quick and easy, recharges and stores in the laptop. The only improvement that I could think of is a scroll wheel of some sort. They will probably come out with it someday. But even with out it is a great product. I highly recomment this mouse.
Portable, Compact But a Little Quirky.......2007-10-11
I purchased this bluetooth PCMCIA card mouse to use with a new tablet PC. It is a wonderful design and allows the perfect way to stow and charge a portable wireless mouse. It is light, compact and easy to use. It would be perfect if only it did not lose connection with the laptop from time to time. I have used Bluetooth keyboards and mice before and this mouse suffers from the same signal stability issues that my previously owned devices did. Sometimes it fails to connect right away, when I first activate the mouse (by flipping down the kickstand at the bottom of the device). It eventually connects and usually works fine for several minutes. However, if I let the mouse sit for a few minutes, allowing it to go into power conservation mode, it sometimes has a hard time connecting to the laptop again. I have removed the Bluetooth drivers and reinstalled. I have used the standard Windows Bluetooth drivers and also tried the custom drivers downloaded from the HP website. The results are always the same. The odd thing is that both the laptop and this Bluetooth card mouse are made by HP. I would like to think that HP would utilize better quality control when marketing a device that proudly carries their namesake. Still, this mouse provides an excellent way to stow and carry an always charged pointing device. I am giving it 4 stars because of its wonderful design and perfect portability. I believe that anyone considering this mouse should realize that it is not suitable as a normal, full-time pointing device. It is a perfect backup mouse for those times when you are on the road and do not have another pointing device available. If you need an extremely portable device that can be stowed in the laptop itself, while its internal battery is charged from the voltage supplied by the PCMCIA card slot, and also allowing a completely wireless alternative to using the laptop trackpad, this mouse is a pretty good investment. I mostly blame the Bluetooth wireless technology itself for the connection problems. Until the Bluetooth wireless technology matures (if ever), I feel that this mouse performs just as well as any other Bluetooth wireless mouse on the market. As far as rating this device for convenience and style, you just can't get any better.
Almost exactly what I've wanted........2007-10-07
I am very happy with the HP Bluetooth Card Mouse. It stores nicely in the PCMCIA slot of my laptop and stays charged up and ready to use whenever I'm on the go. The only thing I wish it had is a scroll wheel. Although nothing in the description mentioned a wheel, I was hoping the 1/4 inch strip between the buttons would scroll when I slid my finger up and down. Too bad -- I'm addicted to the wheel on my desktop mouse. That would be a cool feature. But overall, I am extremely pleased. No dongle to break. No batteries to replace. No clunky wires to drag out. And my coworkers keep saying, "What is that? That is so cool!"
I did have a bit of trouble installing it, but that was more the fault of my HP Laptop (NC6230). It had an HP proprietary Bluetooth interface that wouldn't install the mouse. Once I got the standard Bluetooth interface installed (with help from the HP Website) installing the mouse was a breeze.
Nice concept, but works *only* on hard, flat surfaces.......2007-09-30
Travel mice are intended for, well, traveling, when often not even a desk is available, so you end using your mouse on whatever vaguely flat surface is handy: the arm rest of a chair, the seat next to you, your pant leg, etc.. Most travel mice do just fine with these surfaces, but not this one.
As an example, I was just trying to use the PC card mouse on the wide armrest of one of those comfy chairs at Starbucks. It worked okay while I was just moving the cursor around, but as soon as I clicked, it went haywire. The problem is that when you click, you press down on the mouse (obviously), which presses into the surface it's on. If it's a soft surface, it deforms a bit.
On a normal mouse, this wouldn't be an issue, since the hard shell keeps the surface a constant distance from the little camera on the bottom of the mouse (near the red light), which detects motion. But on this mouse, the only thing keeping the surface away from the camera is the front edge of the card and the kickstand. If you're on a hard surface, that's fine, but on something soft, the surface squishes closer to the camera lens whenever you click. The mouse sees this as motion, so the cursor jumps 20 or 30 pixels with each click, making it totally unusable on anything but very firm surfaces.
As long as you have a desktop nearby, the mouse works as advertised, but I don't see it as a replacement for a travel mouse (especially since it has no scroll wheel). It's handy for emergencies, though, when all you've brought is your laptop, with the mouse safely tucked inside.

The amallest and the best.......2007-12-31
My husband bought one of these over 3 years ago and he loves it . We vought one this Christmas for our Grandson and he loves it >
Mini Mouse is easy to set up........2007-04-06
I am using the Iogear bluetooth mini mouse with a MacBook that is running both OSX and Windows. It was easy to set up on the Mac side, but the directions for the Windows side did not work as well. I had to choose to use no key code because the key code given in the directions didn't work. After I chose no key code, it worked beautifully! Absolutely no problems switching from OSX to Windows. Highly recommended.
Excelent Bluetooth Mouse.......2007-01-19
I am a guy with big hands, and this mouse fits anatomically perfect in my hands. It has rechargables batteries and a usb cable to charge them (in the same mouse), I find that it charges the batteries too slow and I don't want that my bluetooth mouse have to be plug to any cable, so I have an extra charger and 2 sets of batteries and this way I always have my mouse up and running.
Maddening mouse.......2006-12-05
When this mouse works, it works well. However, unlike my other bluetooth devises this one constantly loses its pairing with the computer.
I like the USB connection recharge, but I would change the supplied AAA with some energizer 950 MAHA Ni-HD's ASAP. The 600's only last a short time before requiring a recharge.
Also, the label print on the bottom of the mouse wears off quickly. Less than a week of use and you cannot tell which is on and which is off.
Unfortunately I gave this little headache to my mother-in-law. She now calls every night to have the mouse reconnected.
Great mouse!.......2006-10-08
I really like this mouse. It connected to my built-in bluetooth quite easily and it does not lose the connection. The batteries last a long time. You can attach the USB charging cable and still use the mouse with the bluetooth connection. Great!! It is the perfect travel size. Good buy!

Bluetooth Keyboard.......2007-10-23
Cool little gizmo. I'm a technical/computer "geek" and I use that term loosely. I love this thing because my son and I text a lot and I don't have to rely on that tiny little keyboard on my Blackberry Pearl. Love my phone, but this makes texting much easier.
