Logitech diNovo mini keyboard is a perfect match for Dell Streak. Dell Streak supports keyboards with Bluetooth.
Logitech diNovo keyboard is provided with Bluetooth version 2.0. The keyboard is designed for use with handheld devices and other devices such as Dell Streak, media center and HTPC. A 930 mAh lithium ion rechargeable battery is used to power the keyboard. The battery is kept in a small cover on the rear side of the keyboard. It requires 4 hours to completely recharge the battery for one month usage. A 10 minute recharge is sufficient for two days usage of the keyboard.
Logitech diNovo keyboard could be connected with Dell Streak instantly. Dell Streak sits perfectly in the cover of diNovo keyboard. Logitech diNovo works fine with Dell Streak. The dual mode touch pad, volume controls, mouse button and Ok button on the keyboard works perfectly with Dell Streak. The keyboard boasts round touch pad.

Keyboard backlight is controlled automatically with an ambient light sensor. The ClickPad of the keyboard glows in orange color when kept in cursor mode. It shows a green directional pad when kept in media remote mode using a sliding switch, which is located on its left side.
Dell streak shows keyboard short cuts on its screen when connected with diNovo Keyboard. There is o equivalent menu on the keyboard to utilize these shortcuts. It seems that diNovo is not a perfect match. We need to provide support to the keyboard as its base is not heavy. It may fall backward when used on a flat surface. Place the keyboard against something to prevent slipping. You need to be careful when you are thumb typing, as the Dell streak may slip.
The volume keys are kept in the backward direction. In order to increase the volume, you have to press the down key and vice versa for decreasing the volume. There is some inconsistency with the ClickPad when kept in cursor mode. You may need to move on the ClickPad left side to bring the cursor up on the screen. Similarly move upside on the ClickPad to bring the cursor down on the screen. You could not see any cursor or pointer on the screen. Hence, you need to set the ClickPad in cursor mode. Despite all these flaws, the keyboard works nicely with Dell Streak.


You can simulate a right click by pressing long on the OK button. You can also do the same thing by pressing long at the middle of the touchpad. The touchpad is somewhat okay.
Soft keyboards occupy space on the screen of a handheld device. diNovo keyboard allows you type in freeing the space occupied by soft keyboard. Hardware keyboard is comfortable for some people to carry out simple tasks. The Logitech diNovo keyboard is priced at US$149.99.
