Logitech's diNovo Edge Looks Like Hig Art

dinovoedge.jpgLogitech's diNovo Edge keyboard looks like it belongs in a museum of modern art, what with its glossy finish and illuminated keys. Due this November, the keyboard's letters and numbers are blank until activated, at which point they light up, revealing the letter or number. Fancy techno-art cannot be constrained with wires, so the Bluetooth is not only appreciated, but pretty much expected. One of the more unique features on the keyboard is the inclusion of a touch disc, which frees users from having to stretch six inches and reach for the mouse.

The diNovo Edge comes with a stand that doubles as a recharging dock of sorts. It should be available in the U.S. this November for a retail price of $199.99.
