I use the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000, and I've got to say, this is the *best* keyboard I've ever owned or tried, bar none. Unlike the Logitech's I've had over the years, the MS product just works (MS hardware is very different than MS software :-)
Key features:
1) it's smaller, thinner and much lighter than a normal keyboard becuse it has no seperate numpad; but uses standard size keys so typing is a joy, as opposed to the mini's
2) while the combo comes with a mouse, you can just leave that in the box, because the keyboard has a touchpad onboard similar to a laptop, and it works exceedingly well
3) it's 2.4ghz bluetooth, so no concerns over security due to bluetooth pairing and encryption; and range is fantastic
4) unlike Logitech, it works flawlessly, in 10 months I've *never* had it disconnect, lag or fail to function
5) no concerns over battery life, I'm on 10 months and counting with the stock batteries that came in the box
6) look, feel, comfort - while I realize these are personal and subjective, I love all 3 aspects of this keyboard - it really looks nice in the home theater environment, and it is extremely nice to use sitting on your lap on the couch

I had looked at the dinovo Edge and Mini, and played with them all in the store, and chose the MS7000 instead, and have absolutely no regrets. It's fantastic as an all-around HTPC controller.
