Who doesn’t want to feel like they’re from the future? I think that’s the central question behind Logitech’s diNovo Edge keyboard. This slab of Plexiglass is laser cut from, presumably, a larger slab of Plexiglass. With lasers. Then it’s set into an aluminum frame and carefully hand-assembled by the world’s only genetically-engineered miniature bears. That, after all, is why it’s so expensive.
The Bluetooth keyboard is the pinnacle of Logitech’s peripheral offerings, and while it’s been billed as the “the most advanced keyboard in the world,” it didn’t support Macs. Until now. Fortunately, Logitech’s seen the light, bringing the wireless rechargeable keyboard to Mac fans everywhere with the diNovo Edge Mac Edition. Featuring a “TouchDisc” controller that can be used to scroll and navigate directly from the keyboard, the diNovo Edge also has the ability to launch Mail, Safari, and iTunes with the touch of a button, as well as cook a fourteen-course dinner with the main ingredient of your choice—Iron Chef-style. And it features the requisite command, control, and option keys, so you feel right at home.
You’ll need 10.4 or later for the privilege of shelling out $160 for the diNovo Edge, and of course your Mac will need to have Bluetooth built-in. But what a miniscule price to pay for a keyboard so advanced it wrote this blog post all by itself.

Just don't install the evil Logitech Control Centre drivers. They will crash your computer and possible eat a kitten too.
As most of the folks reading the macworld article said, it STILL doesn't have the numeric keypad.
Some of us (self included) LIKE the keypad. True I don't "need" it, but I use it at work ALL THE TIME, and then when I come home and have to enter some number or some such, I automatically go for the keypad.....which isn't there. Grrrrr. And there's no real reason why they can't have it either.
Apple, you give us the extended keyboard but with wires. Why can't we have a wireless extended?
Logitech, why can't you give us an extended keyboard that has the bells and whistles too?
