This Keyboard Was Good Enough For Batman... Logitech diNovo Edge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лют 2022
- The Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard checked all the boxes, sleek, sexy, wireless, and a built-in mouse to boot. It looked so good that it was used in movie after movie including Batman: The Dark Night. After it was featured in the movie Logitech released a very limited TDK version of the diNovo Edge.
On to the keyboard though. It was laser cut out of plexiglass, only 11mm thick, 3.2mm of key travel, brushed aluminum wrist rest, built-in TouchDisc mouse, and a touch sensitive volume control. One of the coolest features is revealed by hitting the FN key which lights up all the special functions. The diNovo Edge was in a league of it's own for wireless keyboards in 2003.

Still in my living room, 20 years after. Amazing quality. Changed battery once, around 2010. Still going strong.
I wish Logitech would make a 2024-edition with upgraded keys.
It would be like 300 dollars 😂
Id buy it
Throwback lol. I've had my DiNovo Edge since 2004 and I've been using it literally every single day since then. I typically still get over a month's worth of battery life even still. Best keyboard ever made in my opinion.
Mines starting to pack up now after over a decade. So sad
The battery lasted that long? My parked up after about 5 years, 12 years ago :(
Just bought one for 10$. Thanks for the advice
I still have this keyboard and works like the day i get it. I have the exact same opinion and experience with it
This was typed on a diNovo Edge. I still have one. Had to replace the battery, but it still works.
I'm still using mine from 2004. Literally use it every single day. I'm still on the original battery and I get over a month's worth of battery life.
Sweet! Still a slick looking keyboard, aesthetically it has aged well in my opinion.
It was used in the movie Source Code:

Nice review. I have been looking for the next DiNovo for a while now - just in case
I’m still using mine almost 20 yrs later. It’s an excellent product and unparalleled
Absolutely, mine is i guess around 15-16 years now, works like a charm. I broke the plegsi a little bit so was looking a while ago if there is another keyboard like this, but Logitech seems to have abandoned the perfect stroke system which is a shame. I`ve not used a better feeling keyboard than this one
i just got mine out of the basement and this keyboard and i got chills when i started using it again
This was also from the same timeframe as the HP Scanjet 4600 scanner... the "see-through" scanner. It had a little stand like this keyboard and was really cool to watch when it was running. We need cool tech like this again.
My favorite bed+couch keyboard, had one for years and just bought a used one locally for 20 bucks, looks like new
try circling around the dot clockwise or counter-clockwise
Best keyboard I have ever owned, nothing compares to this and since its inception they have never made a better keyboard since.
Had one of these back in the day ... killed it with regular use within 3 months. Went back to my old Model M. Speak about an antique.
Still have mine, probably almost 20 years old. Had it for a couple of years in a drawer unused and when I pulled it out it was still pretty good charged, the battery is still like new. I wouldn't buy a that expensive keyboard anymore but this is was really top quality that lasts and is basically like new after 20 years.
On a side note, I had no issues connecting with a built in Bluetooth receiver and for me also the scrolling works fine with the circular touch area.
BW: "I'm Batman"
Me: "No, I'm Batman"
BW: "I'M BATMAN!!"
*pulls out diNovo keyboard*
BW: "Ok, you're Batman"
for almost 20yrs old - looks like a modern keyboard - IMO you need some of that tech-bro RGB lighting in the background
I think it just needs some mechanical switches on it than backlighting. In itself it already looks sleek and even on par with apple magic keyboards when it comes to aesthetics, but I wouldn't say that it will be the best board to type on since it uses rubber domes
Thanks, John, love it!
I really hope this channel gains traction, it's great!
Me: I want that keyboard. Ima gonna get one
Hears JR say the price: $249 originally, $700 now
Me: ......nevermind
Just to update this video for anyone who may have lost the dongle!
It is possible to connect this KB to BT!
Holding the pairing button behind the top of the KB will put it into BT pairing mode. You’ll find it in your Bluetooth devices, then select it. Enter the pairing ID number on the keyboard and press Enter. It will pair 🎉
Still use mine almost daily on the couch. It still works perfectly, back in the day they used to built things to last.
I was wondering whether a channel dedicated to nostalgia was sustainable but here I am, watching a video about a keyboard that is not even mechanical, and enjoying every second of it.
I found one of these at e-waste a few years ago. Absolutely beautiful, I'd always wanted one. Pulled it out today to set it up in my home theatre but I forgot I found it with no dongle or charger station. I'm sure I could get the charger on eBay but wouldn't have a clue about the dongle. I'm sure they'd be different frequencies across the model. Hey great video mate, thanks!
It supports bluetooth, better than using dongle
Media Center PC's is a total throwback, I still have a Logitech PS3 bluetooth keyboard w/ integral touchpad that worked good enough to use from the couch. For a real premium keyboard throwback, you should pull out an OG first gen MS Natural (before they screwed up the arrow key placement).
Love this keyboard!!
The dinovo too was one of the most beautiful keyboard!!!
You don't need the USB dongle to connect the DiNovo Edge to a modern PC. You can use just about any Bluetooth connection your PC has (or something like one of the Logitech Unifying Bluetooth Receivers). You go to Devices and Printers, click the Add Device button (with your DiNovo Edge in connect mode) and click the DeNovo Edge when it shows up on your PC. It will give you a code. You type that code on your DiNovo Edge and hit enter. Done. ;)
I think if logitech modernized this keyboard it could still be a cult classic.
I also think that this era of logitech keyboards had the most well loved keyswitch design.
ive owned this key bored since high school with my first computer set up when i was only making 8.75 a hr working at a gas station i loved it when i first saw it way back in the day
i worked my ass off for this, logitech has never made another keybord like this ever since i looked over the years they just make mediocre keybords nowadays
currently typing this review with my dinovo edge that i just got out of the basement i thought my mom threw it out i cant tell u how good it feels to type on my old set up
brings me back when i was in high school doing home work on my old computer,
tp type on this is so satisfying your fingers just glide over good key response and everything still works perfectly fine after all these years only issue with this
i wish the track pad was much bigger other then that this dinovo edge still slays after all these years
I must have missed the memo that we weren't doing HTPCs anymore.
2022: Plex is the only solution. Assimilate or be destroyed.
@@TechThrowbacklol it can be both
@@mattbots1 for sure, but I let my desktop play server and chromecast to the display 🍻
I had this keyboard back in the day, used it for my home theater pc. Build quality and battery life were amazing, as is the design and aesthetic
What a keyboard. I'm still using mine 20 years later. For gaming I have a mechanical but for my office, I haven't found a thin chiclet keyboard that beats it.
that little media PC was super cool to learn about.. Had no idea they existed!
That still looks cool for today! I'd never seen one of these (No, I haven't seen that Batman movie yet) before.
Still have mine, original battery, still works. Have no idea how that is even possible, but it is.
Same here! Had mine since 2004 and use it every day.
I bought one of these for my dad as he ended up getting the windows media center pc for the living room Tv back in the day.. I think he still has the keyboard too. Haha
I can almost guarantee you it still works
I can see it now - the year is 2040, mechanical keyboards are pretty much the standard for typing. Even your generic cheap Dell prebuilts come with some kind of mechanical switch. All the young 20-ish guys with their first jobs out of college start getting nostalgic for a keyboard that stopped existing in the mid 2020's where they key sat on a rubber dome. They remember their dad had one and missed the soft feeling of the key press and the silent actuation. Rubber dome keyboards make a comeback and the rubber dome keyboards from the 2000's start going on Ebay for hundreds of dollars.
Rubber dones would most likely come back in a way that it'd imitate topres than membranes themselves. They could sell as novelty but I highly doubt that most of those collectors would use it as a daily driver
This is awesome, always wanted to use one of these keyboards. Loving this new channel so far.
Logitech has always made some of the best peripherals by far, except they always discontinue them. They drive me crazy LOL. RIP Logitech Harmony Hub
I still have mine working. The only negative thing is the cold palm rest in winter.
Those diNovo's..... I struggled with that era of Logi BT keyboards. The number of instances they did not work in was infuriating, and the unexpected lag at times was beyond infuriating.
Always wanted one of these when they came out. Looked so awesome
I had that keyboard and it was great! It lasted over 10 years as well
This was a fun review JR. I’ve been subbed on the main channel for a long time, and I think it’s pretty cool you’re doing this. Especially with your IT background. You should dress up the background a little though 😉
Interesting fact: a model of this keyboard is used in the GMOD Addon "Wiremod"
I loved windows media center edition with an HTPC. Good times
My buddy has a ton of those small HTPC boxes because he builds computers and networks etc professionally. I always help him scrap trade in boxes for parts and he always gives me decent leftovers and actually built me a Ryzen 3900x 12 core box plus some extra money for upgrades I wanted for helping him over time. I don't know if he had one of those keyboards but he always has the latest and greatest goodies to play with.
I probably would hate the feel of the keys too but has a HTPC keyboard it would be awesome.
I have a low profile HTPC case here he gave me because I thought it was cool but I never put any in it though I have plenty of parts to do it. I run Plex and a few Silicondust tuners and it's networked all over the house so not sure it's needed anymore.
Click and hold the connect button on the bottom and it will go to pairing mode. I have had this keyboard since 2008.
Awesome throwback!!
"Hey what is up guys MKBHD" .. oh wait
I had a shuttle. I took it to work everyday to game. They were awesome!
Just picked one of these up from a garage sale with the box and all for $2!
These things are the absolute worst junk ever to use and I'll fight anyone about it. We had one in our conference room at our last job and I'd just yank a random OEM lenovo keyboard and mouse and deal with the wires instead of dealing with that horrid little touchpad and mushy keys.
(it does look awesome though)
The keys would still be mushy on that lenovo keyboard AND on top of that have a weird layout???
Love these "Reboot" episodes so far!
I just recently found this keyboard over at my local thrift store.. loved it the second I saw it..paid a whole whopping 10$. Everything is so nice on it
i had this one!
I really like this trick thank you.
Waiting for the pre-iPod MP3 player showcase. What ever happened to Rio?
One of the greatest MP3 players ever!
What happened to the ZUNE?
I had a Rio One, I'll find some! 🍻
I love these and haven't used anything else - I have 4 of them
We have one!
I may have seen one at my local Goodwill. I may go look again. My daily driver is an IBM Model M. A workhorse, and LOUD. lol I have a not-so-loud hitachi with Alps keys. and an old Actual Alps Mac keyboard with built-in track-pad. I bought a ADB to USB adaptor cube thing, that only works with the apple full-size extended keyboard. I need to probably find a Griffin iMate adaptor to get the Alps working. The Blue & White G3 tower (my first new mac) still had an ADB bus on it and I used the Alps for a long time. Tacticle, but different than the Model M.
using it right now with my m1 Mac mini!
It's annoying when they mess with the 6 cursor control keys. I really like my main keyboard right now despite some of the same messing (it's a Cherry G80 apparently designed for use in a server rack and thus narrower?) putting delete, home, end, etc in weird places, but it takes a really good keyboard for me to forgive that.
i had a broken one and your video inspired me to try and fix it turns out it just had a connection problem
Luckily the bluetooth connectivity in keyboards has evolved. I have in use a Logitech Ergo K860 and it does not require any dongles to connect to a bluetooth receiver.
Nice Video John, thanks for that!
Another solid video
Recently found a perfectly working unit with the charger in a Goodwill store. Bought it for $5.
Logitech makes great keyboards.
I was hoping the $700 price now was true, but ebay looks like under $100
This keyboard was so epic!
I just connected it to my Steam Deck OLED via Bluetooth, it worked right away.
I need to replace the battery trough.
Unparalled quality. Still using it everyday. You can pair it via normal Bluetooth (mac). Press the Paring button back of the keyboard. Pair it via your Mac, enter with 6 digit code and finish with 'enter'
i had a bunch of those xpc cases and some with clear sides
*To the video uploader.*
This keyboard was used in the Move Source Code, not just Batman Dark Knight. See link below for the scene.

Still use this keyboard scroll works perfect not sure youve used it but works perfect for me. Only better one would be one thats totally illuminated keys in same form factor.
I am looking at one of those on FB Market Place. 👀
I enjoyed your take on it, together with the video production.
The biggest question I still have is what about the Logitech software to actually use all the features?
What lets Logitech down is and has always been software issues with their products. Especially, the wireless ones. 💩
Logitech K750 is pretty cool Its a solar keyboard what do you think about that JR
I have to disagree with usb receiver i can go with my dinovo edge 2 floors up and it can still type never disconnect like the new receiver's does time to time and doesn't even have same use distance as the old one
.
i have the one with the batman symbol, won it at a logitech contest
That is one awesome keyboard!
That’s sweet
I miss this keyboard. My cat puked on it and I couldn't save it :(
got mine to sync with a basic asus bluetooth dongle.
That keyboard is the cat's pajamas.
i like this keyboard!
I found one on a fleamarket, but no USB reciever, so i guess it is pretty much useless without it.
Did you get the comadore 64 or the Sinclair spectrum computers over there?
We did in the US, but the C64 was way, way more popular, The Apple II behind it being really common in schools back then. Radio Shack and Atari both had a pretty big presence in the US home computer space as well. The Sinclair was sold under the Timex brand and never really hit off like it did in the UK and Europe.
Just got mine today, My company staff though it was broken and trying to throw it away, I'm like Hold the fok up let me have it.
and fix it with a USB cable for like 5 minutes.
I still have mine, it's broken though. It doesn't charge and the battery is impossible to replace.
Mine is still in like new condition.
If you ever need old computers and stuff as the subject of video I'm local and can have got some you can use.
I wonder if there is a more modern version of this keyboard, if they had that but with mechanical keys, I'd be willing to trade out my logitech G910 keyboard
I'd love to know if (logitech y-ray81) it works with windows 11?
I bought one - works perfect in Win 11. When you first set it up with the Logitech drivers and it pairs you will get prompted to enter a code which you will type from the DiNovo keyboard. BTW you do not need the original USB. Just the keyboard dock and pwr supply cord. It works as if it was manufactured in 2023 and the design build is better than a lot built in 2023.
I wonder if my old MX1000 is worth any bank if I swap the battery...
Mine works with out the receiver.
Awesome. I've always found anything other than a basic, straight-to-the-point keyboard to be a bit of a waste, at least for me. Most of the special features or control implementations don't seem to work right and just end up being annoying and pointless.
I use a Logitech G40 now, super simple mechanical 🍻
Like where the channel is going but you need something on the walls behind you, a few shelves with some old gear on it or even a plant or something to break up that beige behind you.
OMG, I have this keyboard hah !!
Im from germany and im playing a lot of fps shooter i currently have a huntsman mini and am super happy with it since i bought it my self as all the other things as the next gen and old gen xbox and a mouse and a mouse pad even a 180€ scuff all i needed was a monitor for christmas to was a monitor and my dad tought he would vuy this keyboard for 150 off a friend used an now im sitting here sad over not being aeble to afford my monitor and i am mad over this keyboard being this useless to me since i already got a perfect keyboard for myself, now i feel bad abt telling him and questening if i could sell it or what ever i dont know man this is fucked up
LS Swap it JR, oh wait wrong channel. Love to see some Linux open source , everything is so focused on Windows and Apple they are stealing our freedom and data.
Firstly....I didnt know you also did tech reviews! I had a Dinovo edge for years but it got smashed during a move. I then bought Azio Retro keyboard but it died after 2 years (dead keys)_. It damn near took me 2 days of googling 'sleek black keyboard' before an image popped up of my old Dinovo Edge and off to Ebay I went. Cant wait for it to show up and I can quit copiny and pasting the letter "A" on this stupid Azio.
Had mine over a decade finally packing up. I can't find anything good enough to replace it. Gamer thoccy keyboard are tacky as hell. Rgb is not good and keyboards are not supposed to be noisy, sorry. Wish there were more stylish keyboards like this. Gonna have to go second hand when another comes available...
Hey!
$700? I've seen these on ebay $70-80
I'm fat man...
Same!
