I needed a wireless mouse that could control my Home Theatre PC from the other side of my living room and the Gyration was one of the few wireless mice designed for this kind of distance. The range of the mouse is superb, it's RF so no line of site required, the RF receiver is a USB dongle that plugs into the PC. Setting it all up takes just a few minutes, just install the software from the CD and straight away the PC detects the mouse and you're up and running.The mouse can also be used 'in air' like a Wii controller. To do this, just press a button on the bottom of the mouse, it then detects all motion, so waving it around causes the mouse pointer to move in exactly the same way. This is a very handy feature but I do find it can be a little clumsy. You need to move it only subtly in the air, huge movements cause the pointer to fly all over the place. Also, sometimes the pointer refuses to move at all and the button on the bottom of the mouse has to be pressed 2 or 3 times for the in-air functionality to return. Generally I no longer use the in-air feature, it's easier just using the mouse the traditional way. Also be warned this mouse is a battery guzzler, it requires 2 AAAs and they don't last long as the RF signal is quite a drain, so make sure you switch the mouse off when you're not using it, it has an on/off button on the bottom of it.Overall though I'm very pleased with this mouse, wireless reception is excellent and it's perfect for a Home Theatre PC setup.

I've been using the Gyration air mouse for a good while now. My first one had to be returned and replaced immediately - it simply didn't work - but this one (manufactured Sep 2008) is simply great.The mouse is extremely comfortable in the hand and works very well. Battery life is adequate, although not outstanding, but now that shops are obliged to provide battery recycling facilities, there's no need to feel guilty about landfill any more. Scrolling the wheel does occasionally cause it to stop working, requiring switching off and on again.To start with, the biggest drawback was that the battery cover was exceptionally difficult to remove. Every time the batteries needed changing it was a struggle and I worried about scratching the mouse or breaking the lugs off the cover. After prolonged use, however, the battery cover problem did slowly ease off and now it's no longer an issue, so I changed my original review rating from 4 back to 5.

This is great! Expensive but I use it on my duvet or jeans while laying back on my couch/sofa watching tv with one on my laptop to the side of me. You can also use it as a remote control when listening to music and working a distance away.
