The good: Elegant finish; Mac-specific shortcut keys; comfortable typing experience; easy plug-and-play design.
The bad: Expensive; lacks illuminated keys and integrated USB ports; no control over wrist angle.
The bottom line: The Logitech diNovo Mac Edition looks sexy and is comfortable for typing, but it's a pricey upgrade for a keyboard that lacks integrated USB ports and backlit keys.

USB ports on a wireless keyboard????
by robby818 on November 26, 2008
Pros: The reviewer is incorrect in criticizing the keyboard for a lack of USB ports.
Cons: Apple's version of the wireless keyboard does not have USB ports. Only the wired Apple keyboard has USB ports. BTW, those USB ports are low power ports (unless used with the Al iMac), which means no external hard drives and similar devices.
Summary: Being a wireless keyboard, it is not be possible to include USB ports on the keyboard.
There aren't any wireless keyboards that have USB ports, which makes sense considering ...

Summary: Being a wireless keyboard, it is not be possible to include USB ports on the keyboard.
There aren't any wireless keyboards that have USB ports, which makes sense considering that in order to have USB ports on a wireless keyboard would need to overcome two major problems:
1. not enough power available to power the ports
2. data from the port cannot travel wirelessly back to the computer
Hence, USB ports on a wireless keyboard would serve no purpose and that's why they aren't on this or any other wireless keyboard.

Fatal flaws.
by caponsacchi on February 21, 2010
Pros: Deeper keys with curved surface. More like a regular typewriter than the chiclet-style of Mac keyboards.
Cons: One key has fallen out several times during the first several months of use. The keyboard does not strike me as solidly built, either overall or in the details, compared to the original-equipment iMac keyboard.
Summary: It makes a good initial impression, but don't be surprised if the honeymoon is short-lived and your attachment to your original Mac keyboard goes up accordingly.

It's true that USB ports are not an option on a wireless keyboard, but some prospective consumers may not register that omission or may not realize how much they can be missed until using a keyboard without them. It's a trade-off, at least, that deserves consideration before purchase.
