 Can't go wrong with this air-mouse May 22, 2010

The first thing I noticed about this mouse when I opened the package was that it was smaller and sleeker than I originally anticipated. This was a good thing because I did not want something that would rival the size of my remote control. I spent about 2 weeks deliberating this purchase because I wasn't sure which air-mouse to purchase (this one, Logitech MX Air, Gyration Air Mouse Elite, Gyration 2100, etc.). The characteristic that sold me over was the shape of this mouse.
After doing countless reviews of the other air mouses, I noticed many people complaining about the awkward shape of their air-mouse mouse when using it as an air-mouse. I must say, hands down, I love the shape of this mouse! It's a hybrid between a remote control and a Wii Nunchuck. It perfectly contours in my hand, and the ergonomic shape was my ultimate dealbreaker.
The sensitivity and overall accuracy of the sensors is great. The learning curve took me about one whole day to get accustomed to using. And after about a week, I swear I should be in the next Harry Potter movie because I'm a flatout magician waving this thing like my personal wand. Battery life is great; I've used it for 5-6 hours at a time without charging it and it still doesn't require a charge.
A GREAT feature about this mouse is that the orientation of the mouse doesn't not matter when using it as an air-mouse. I can be pointing the mouse up towards the sky, down in the ground, wrist turned in, wrist turned out, or lying slanted on my chest and the left/right perception of the pointer will not be disoriented. This is absolutely fantastic.
Another two great features that this mouse has to offer are programmable buttons as well as programmable gestures (like "left swipe") that allow the user to open numerous programs or window functions.
The only gripe I have with this mouse is that the double-click locking feature that allows this mouse to remain an air-mouse often unlocks, meaning that I have to double-click the trigger button again to keep it as an air-mouse. However, my friend who also owns this mouse doesn't have this problem. In all, it's not a big deal. I wish I bought this mouse years ago. Hands down, it's the best purchase I've made from a convenience point of view in a long time. And if you spend a lot of time working on the computer like I do, I don't mind spending money if it makes doing my work a little more comfortable.

This is an amazing mouse had it for years the reason I can no longer recommend it is to echo the comments in other reviews I just spent an hour looking for a replacement battery they don't exist so if you buy this mouse when the batteries done so is the mouse it's to bad the mouse rocks

Depuis que j'utilise ce genre de souris, je ne suis plus capable de retourner aux anciennes souris. Avec ce type de souris, on n'a pas besoin de table et après un peu de pratique, ça va très très bien.
OK but not great for gaming. January 25, 2010

I have a Media Center computer that I use for the 52" TV in my den. I was using a keyboard with one of those rocking mouse pointers...great keyboard...really lousy mouse control. So I after reading some good feedback on this mouse I decided to try it. The "air" part of it is a bit difficult to get used to. The secret's in the wrist action. Once you are used to it, it works really good for general web surfing, program selection and such. Then I decided to play Call of Duty with it. Near impossible using it as an air mouse...OK when using it as a regular mouse. The buttons are a bit too easy to click (I shot several of my buddies accidentally) and I found it a bit cumbersome in my big hand. I did eventually master it without murdering any more of my buddies. My eight year old grandson had no problem.
Very good range. Very dependable operation from 30 ft away. For gaming I would recommend a regular wireless mouse...if you can find one that works more than 6 feet away from the sensor. I like it!
Perfect in the right application. August 23, 2009

I own two of these with the companion keyboards to navigate and pilot my boat across 3 displays. I don't have a flat surface so an air mouse was my preferred option.
Don't buy an Air Mouse from any manufacturer for general desktop use unless you have no desktop! These products do have a learning curve and none of them work as precisely and easily as a dedicated desktop pointing device. Once learned though I now command my desktop with the wave my hand almost as quickly as I do with on the desk. The Gyration product doubles as both an air mouse and a desktop mouse so when a flat surface is available viola! There is a button on the mouse that must pressed when you want to move the pointer on screen while in Air-Mode. Thank goodness, otherwise every hand motion would move the pointer! The supplied driver includes features to define tasks, open apps, locate the pointer, all very useful and easy to assign - no programming required.
The device is heat sensitive, so if left in the sun they stop working until cooled. Also the 100' broadcast isn't as strong as I had hoped so about mid-day the mouse motion sometimes becomes intermittent even when I am only 20' away through a single wall. In fact one of my devices is rated for 30' and the other for 100' and I really can't tell the difference when swapped.
Otherwise, I love them as they are my daily work horse and have been aboard for the last (2 years) ~3500 nautical miles.
