As a quick trip to the nearest computer store will attest, picking out a keyboard is not as simple as selecting one compatible with your operating system in a color you fancy. The multitudes of keyboards on the market make selecting this once standardized necessity a decision worth pondering. Do I want a keyboard with a built in soft pad or one that is bent in the middle to allow easier access to the keys? On top of that, many keyboards now come with buttons on the top which allow for you to control volume, the DVD you are watching, access the internet instantly, or even make use of a small screen connected to the keyboard. All of this variety in the contemporary market contributes to what makes the DAS Keyboard so different: it has none of those bells and whistles. The DAS reminded me of the first style of keyboard marketed to the general public. It contains every necessary key, while avoiding the clutter of the modern day keyboards that attempt to double as computer control systems. While this will not be attractive to everyone, those who it appeals to will enjoy a keyboard that neither confuses nor clutters the desk. Read more

October 3, 2006-- It’s more than a keyboard – it’s a minimalist work of high-technology art. Today, Logitech unveiled the Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard, a cutting-edge blend of refined design and breakthrough innovation. Following the design legacy of Logitech’s original, award-winning diNovo Media Desktop (2003), the diNovo Edge reflects the growing importance and visibility of the PC in today’s home.

Its minimalist style is further evident in the limited number of buttons and the dynamic, backlighted icons embedded within the keyboard, which are invisible when not illuminated.
