For less money you can get what is considered by many as the best wiresless mouse made. The Logitech MX700. It has rechargable batteries and is the most precise wireless mouse on the market.

I have herd some good reviews...

Not a gaming mouse or office mouse...best used for just kicking back and surfing...

I like my Gyration mouse. It is a functional mouse when used on the desktop. When using it in the air it is alright for surfing, and its reach is quite far.

Check out razerzone.com.

I like mine. It allows you to wave it in the air and stuff like that. Its not for you hardcore gamers out there but its good for home PC use and stuff. You should also consider the Logitech MX700 Wireless mouse. This is perfect for everything. I hoped I helped.

Hello everyone

I just purchased a Gyration Air Mouse. I really like it so far but I do have a problem. I live in South Korea right now so the GyroTools CD that came with the mouse is worthless to me as I don't understand Korean. Does anybody know where I can download the Gyrotools software? I contacted Gyration through their website and they were not at all helpful.

Thanks for any help.

Eric

I had the opportunity to test the Gyration mouse that my computer teacher had in high school. It was surprisingly accurate for being waved in the air. I really liked it. However, it's more for presentations, such as powerpoint, teaching aids, etc... NOT surfing...

It might works alright as a remote (say, for DVD menus...) on a HTPC
