Logitech's diNovo Edge is liked by reviewers on many points, including its sleek design, responsive keys, wireless capability and unique recharging system. But where critics say it pulls away from other keyboards and perhaps justifies its high cost is in the arena of media center PCs. High-end machines designed to make the most of media experience need a well-appointed, reliable keyboard, and the diNovo Edge fits that bill. Outfitted with Bluetooth capability and a rechargeable battery that can last up to two months on a single charge, the diNovo Edge can do double duty in the living room controlling a connected home theater. Experts love its designer styling and its media-centric features including an iPod-like TouchDisc and one-handed navigation.

One thing all reviewers agree on – the Logitech diNovo Edge is a beautiful keyboard. So beautiful, in fact, that some reviewers refer to it glowingly as a piece of art and don't stop admiring it long enough to critically examine the keyboard's performance. This tendency makes for some unbalanced reviews, such as the ones from APHNetworks.com and CoolTechZone. Luckily, Jeremy Atkinson, from ExtremeTech, takes a more critical look at the diNovo Edge. Digital Trends also covers the diNovo Edge well, with findings similar to those at ExtremeTech.

2. DigitalTrends.com

Digital Trends is unique among reviewers in that its article on the Logitech diNovo Edge is accompanied by a short video that demonstrates the keyboard's major features. The review itself is complete and objective, though not particularly comparative. The diNovo Edge is rated 8.5 out of 10 by the site.

3. APHNetworks.com

Jonathan Kwan writes extremely descriptive, thorough reviews. When it comes to the Logitech diNovo Edge, most of his attention remains on the keyboard's design; only three sentences, in fact, deal with the keyboard's actual performance.

4. CoolTechZone.com

Exceptionally brief, this review is short on details. Major design points and features are mentioned but most are described neutrally, rather than critically. Hora writes that the diNovo Edge is a "winner" when it comes to performance, but provides no other description of the keyboard's functionality.

These "top" keyboards don't appear to have been actually reviewed by Shamoon, leaving us unsure on what basis they were determined to be the best. In addition to its inclusion in the article, the diNovo Edge is further identified as a "Recommended" model although, again, we have no idea why.
