Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Laser Reviews
So either I'd have to experiment with using a generic bluetooth manager to see whether it better handles the multiple devices simultaneously. I was a bit concerned that Logitech provided their own proprietary Bluetooth software, they do say you can use generic Bluetooth managers. Downsides:. The construction of all three pieces is solid and seems durable. The devices were quickly discovered and paired.
-The so called media keyboard module seems superfluous for my purposes but I suppose people who heavily use Winamp or Windows Media Player will find this handy and more compact than a fullsize keyboard. I went ahead with the standard install. I also tried and succeeded at pairing my Motorola stereo headphones. It went more smoothly than any other Bluetooth install I have ever done on any machine.
But I have the consolation of a solid, reliable product. -I discovered is that mouse or keyboard activity seems to disconnect the stereo headphones. The keyboard is a bit bigger than I would have liked for use with my home media PC system.
Setting up was a breeze, Connectivity is awesome, Distance range best I've come across to date. However, When typing passwords, Where you show *** only on the screen, This is a bit of a pain when characters are case sensitive. This may seem a trivial matter, Normaly you just look at what you've typed, And if its wrong, Backspace and correct. There is no way to check and see if the cap lock is on. One item lacking is a cap light button.
I do NOT recommend this product and I will be switching to another brand right now. I have figured out a way to point the mouse away for a few seconds to fix it, but Logitech has no support about this or anything, and I have a wired mouse that I keep connected on my desk to be able to use in an emergency when the bluetooth mouse acts up. I bought this thing over a year ago with high hopes for its sleek appearance and Logitech quality. It is VERY ANNOYING. I thought I'd enter in this comment before I purchased another one. Every few minutes, the mouse experiences a "lag" where the cursor does not track where you are moving the mouse, in both speed and position. There is something wrong with the bluetooth connection, the mouse, or whatever, and it has made the mouse almost impossible to use since day one.
This arrived with a right-handed mouse, even though I read the descriptions carefully and NOWHERE IN THE DESCRIPTION DOES IT SAY IT COMES WITH A RIGHT-HANDED MOUSE. My earlier version comes with a neutral-handed mouse. It was erratic and only worked about half the time I pushed the keys. I was prepared to adapt, however the mouse did not light up with green lights, as it said it would initially. The mouse never charged correctly; I put it in the charger for 2 days and it never took a charge. I returned it. I was desperate for a working keyboard, so I used a wired mouse with the new keyboard. I have an earlier version of the Logitech wireless keyboard, number keypad, and mouse and love it.
There are Logitech keyboards which do have a dock to recharge, but I needed the extended range of this bluetooth unit. My only complaint, which is not specific to this product, is that the keyboard does not use rechargeable batteries. I purchased two of these units for two conference rooms we have at work. I've found most brands and models can reach about five feet or so when the receiver is behind the person using the keyboard or mouse. This is important to us, since the computer attached to our projector is in a closet. Previous wireless keyboard and mouse combinations proved frustrating because of lack of range in an open conference room. This unit- the Logitech diNovo- is the opposite. I have used the keyboard in other rooms, through three walls, and other wacky scenarios.
