I have this keyboard too (DiNovo Edge) and love it. What I paid for it
was less than what I paid for the three other keyboards I tried before
it and wasn't happy with.

A few points:
* You definitely need a recent kernel (for trackpad) as mentioned above.
* It works in BIOS etc as the bluetooth receiver it comes with makes
the keyboard look like a USB keyboard.
* The charger/stand is great in the loungeroom as the keyboard takes
up less room on a coffee table.
* The range is excellent (better than anything else I tried) and it
works from > 10m away through walls when the receiver is plugged into
the back of the PC in a cabinet under the TV
* Rechargeable  lithium batteries (could help with the range)
* Looks really nice

You might think I am getting commission but I have no interest in
Logitech. In fact I am just annoyed I bought 3 different keyboards
because I thought this was too expensive. Then ended up buying it
anyway and it is as good as it is and perfect for what I want.

HTH,

Roo.
