Overview

The Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard is a sophisticated input device designed to enhance the user's experience with their Macintosh computer, offering a blend of performance, comfort, and style. Its sleek and slim design integrates a variety of innovative features, streamlining access to digital content and improving overall productivity.

Function Description

The diNovo Edge Keyboard serves as a primary input device for Macintosh computers, connecting wirelessly via Bluetooth technology. It features a full QWERTY keyboard layout, along with extended function keys and dedicated media hotkeys, providing quick access to various computer functions and applications. A key innovation is the integrated TouchDisc, which combines the functionalities of a touch pad and a scroll wheel, offering intuitive cursor control, hyper-fast scrolling, and selection capabilities. The keyboard also includes a power indicator, battery-indicator light, Bluetooth status light, and a volume slider for convenient audio control.

Usage Features

Typing Experience:

The keyboard incorporates Logitech's PerfectStroke™ key system, which utilizes a micro-scissor mechanism to ensure even force distribution across key surfaces. This design aims to improve typing accuracy by being forgiving of mis-strokes and providing a consistent typing experience. With a longer key travel of 3.2 millimeters, the keyboard offers a more responsive and comfortable feel. Concave keycaps further contribute to a natural and fluid keystroke experience.

Wireless Connectivity:

The diNovo Edge Keyboard connects to the computer using Bluetooth® wireless technology, allowing for seamless operation from up to 30 feet (9 meters) away. Setting up the Bluetooth connection involves navigating through the Macintosh System Preferences, selecting the Bluetooth option, and using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to pair the keyboard. The process requires entering a randomly generated passkey on the keyboard to establish a secure connection.

Extended Function Keys and Hotkeys:

The keyboard is equipped with a comprehensive set of function keys and hotkeys tailored for Macintosh users. These include:

  • Desktop Management Keys (F1-F4; F9-F12): Provide one-touch controls for features like Exposé®, Spaces, Quick Look, Cover Flow, and Spotlight, helping users organize windows, view files without opening them, display album art, and open the search utility.
  • Application Keys (F5-F8): Allow users to launch their favorite applications with a single touch. These keys can be customized through the Logitech Control Center software.
  • Media Hotkeys: Correspond to the controls on an Apple Remote, enabling playback functions such as play, pause, skip forward/backward, fast-forward, and rewind.
  • Volume Slider: An optical slider duplicates the functions of the Apple Remote's volume buttons, offering fluid control and visual feedback for audio adjustments.
  • Launch Front Row Button: Initiates Apple's full-screen media manager, Front Row, allowing users to enjoy movies, music, and photos. Within Front Row, arrow keys are used for navigation and the Return key to select items. The ESC button returns to the previous menu.

TouchDisc Functionality:

The innovative TouchDisc integrates hyper-fast scrolling, selection, and cursor control.

  • Cursor Control: Users can move the cursor by sliding a finger across the TouchDisc surface.
  • Vertical Scrolling: To scroll vertically, users touch the white dot on the right side of the TouchDisc and rotate clockwise (down) or counterclockwise (up) around its perimeter.
  • Horizontal Scrolling: For horizontal scrolling, users touch the white dot on the top of the TouchDisc and rotate clockwise (right) or counterclockwise (left) around the perimeter.
  • Disabling TouchDisc and Volume Slider: The TouchDisc and volume slider can be disabled by pressing fn + Left-Click (the button below the TouchDisc) and re-enabled by pressing fn + Right-Click.

Logitech Control Center Software:

To maximize the keyboard's potential, users can install the Logitech Control Center software from the provided CD-ROM or download updates from www.logitech.com/downloads/. This software allows for:

  • Customizing Keys: Users can reassign actions to specific keys, including the extended function keys, to create useful shortcuts that enhance productivity and comfort.
  • Adjusting TouchDisc Settings: The software provides sliders to adjust the tracking speed, vertical scroll speed, and horizontal scroll speed of the TouchDisc.
  • General Settings: Users can set preferences for general function key behavior and manage other keyboard settings.

Power Management:

The keyboard features a battery-indicator light that blinks green while charging, lights green for 5 seconds upon connection, and glows red when batteries are low. A power switch on the right edge of the keyboard allows users to turn the device on or off. The orange power indicator next to the power icon confirms that the keyboard is on.

Maintenance Features

Charging:

The diNovo Edge Keyboard comes with an elegant dock/charging station that also serves as a stand, helping to keep the desk clutter-free. To charge, the lower edge of the keyboard is inserted into the dock, aligning the Logitech logos. A full charge takes approximately four hours and provides up to one month of battery life. A quick 10-minute charge can provide about a day of use. The AC cable from the power supply plugs into the back of the dock/charging station, and the AC adapter connects to a wall socket.

Cleaning:

To maintain the keyboard's quality and ensure many years of service, regular cleaning is recommended. Users should use the provided soft cloth for cleaning. It is important to turn the keyboard off before wiping it down. Soap or any other type of cleaning product should not be used.

Troubleshooting:

Common issues can often be resolved by:

  • Checking the battery indicator light: If it blinks red, recharge the keyboard.
  • Ensuring the power switch is in the "On" position.
  • Restarting the keyboard by turning the power switch off and then back on.
  • Verifying that the keyboard is within Bluetooth® range (30 feet or 9 meters).
  • Reconnecting the keyboard to the Macintosh computer using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
  • Restarting the computer.

Ergonomic and Safety Information:

Logitech provides important ergonomic information, advising users to maintain proper posture and workspace setup to prevent physical discomfort or injury from repetitive motion. Users experiencing pain or discomfort are advised to consult a qualified health professional. Comfort Guidelines are available on the Logitech website.

The product uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Users are cautioned to handle the battery with care, avoid opening or mutilating it, and prevent short circuits, overheating, or exposure to fire or high temperatures. Leaking or non-rechargeable batteries should be discarded according to local laws. The power supply is for indoor use only and should be the one provided with the product. Users should not attempt to repair a damaged power supply or immerse it in water, and regular inspection for damage is recommended.
