Review: Gyration Air Mouse Go Plus

 

Welcome to the third dimension. The Gyration Air Mouse GO plus is ...

As it is known, there's no accounting for taste and therefore the looks of the Gyration Air Mouse should divide feelings; the design didn't appeal much to the tester personally

good idea - bad execution

 

when it first started working it had good range - i used it to 30 feet ; would not work properly after 1/2 day

jumpy, inaccurate and finally the cursor started diving left then up/left ; too time consuming

A nice surprise

 

I've encountered gyro mice at two of my previous offices, and they never seemed all that great. Something tells me someone thought it'd make the office look high-tech to have a these for presentations, so they got them without really thinking things...

When I put together a home media center PC, I decided this would be a great time to give the mouse a shot, and I'm glad I did! It's been great for us. Once you spend a little time moving it around and getting comfortable with it, it'll become second...

It seems to go to sleep if you don't use it for a while, and just moving it around won't fully awaken it... on ours, we have to click a time or two to get it to open its eyes. Not a big deal -- it's basically like pressing an "on" button

Satisfied

 

Works just as advertised. I bought this mouse because the small size of my desk combined with a conventional mouse was causing serious elbow tendinitis issues. This is a big improvement as now I am on the mend ; Thank You Gyration and Newegg.com

Not really a con but I am not used to using a mouse of this type so it is a little awkward right now, but I will get used to it

Consumer review by:

smartest mouse there is

 

The reviewer whose mouse was killed with a single drop has had some bad luck with his unit and shouldn't generalize. Mine has been dropped several times 2 or 3 feet to a carpet and is none the worse for the ware. Still, an extended warranty might not...

If you take the trouble to master the light learning curve, this is the most useful, even delightful input device there is. The more I've learned about it, the more I like it. I just bought a second one for my living room AV

OK but not great for gaming.

 

OK but not great for gaming.

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....
