Keyboards

By Matthew Gold

I’ve always thought that one of the most economical ways to improve a notebook setup is through a real keyboard. The keys type better, and they’re more comfortable to type long documents with.

Logitech has always made good stuff. And now they’ve come out with a new DiNovo Edge for the Mac. It was reviewed by Appletell yesterday, and I have to say, it looks downright amazing.

I’d snap it up in a moment, but for two issues. One, there’s no number keypad on the right. Mac keyboards have traditionally never had the separate numerical keypads, and I don’t understand it for the life of me. Its prevalence is increasing, but sometimes I wonder if Apple simply wants to forfeit any financial-related usage to Windows. I want that functionality.

Second, it’s costly $160 is a lotta money.  Granted, I’ll probably buy off eBay, but it’s still a pretty penny.  Still, it looks like an amazing product, and even if I don’t buy this one, there’s a keyboard in my future - perhaps it’s another Logitech?  (This one, or this one?)
