Id rather have a keyboard with a mouse pad on it and no lights than a keyboard with lights on it and no mouse pad for over 145$. I've been using my DiNovo Edge for years with no problems, I'm actually typing from the couch without dragging a mouse around.
I'd prefer the dinovo mini since it's smaller than the edge and has a flip over cover for it. I've actually been considering getting that to use with XBMC when I am watching movies or tv shows.
