Gyration Air Mouse

Free your mouse from the desktop When you're working with a laptop on the move, using a proper mouse is more comfortable than using the laptop's trackpad. That usually depends on having a surface ...

No Mouse is actually included

If you don't actually need an actual mouse and your cursor control needs are fairly minimal, then the in-air gyro-remote will do the trick. I was looking for an actual mouse and keyboard and remote, and I found the way this was advertised on here a bit...

I've been happy with a full sized keyboard and Gyration Mouse. This was my second purchase

There's not actually a mouse in this set. The Remote is supposedly an "In-air cursor control

Gyration GYR3101CKUS 88 Normal Keys RF Wireless Mini Vista Media Center Remote combo Learning, IR&RF, mouse, 88-key KB

I have other Gyration products it is an excellent brand and would recomend any Gyration hardware, for Office, gaming, internet, home. Never Had an issue.

True PnP on xp and vista 32bit and 64bit. Works perfect with Mediea center,power dvd component and main volume, as well as many others. Excellent Mouse Control(although wouldnot replace mouse) but I use it as only mouse. Also can program for tv,dvd and...

Needs mouse scroll

Awesome remote

Essential for an HTPC.

Fantastic for any Media Center. I use the remote 90% of the time, and use the keyboard sparingly. Easy to program, though I wish there were more logical buttons to program... particularly for a Home Theater Receiver. The range is great, and since it...

The mouse buttons work fine, but start to lose their tactile feel. The right click now feels spongy. Tech support responded quickly, and I'm in the process of doing an RMA. Hopefully they've improved the product

Fancy Mouse in a Cheap Remote

I gave the Product 5 eggs for the mouse and keyboard function, 1 egg for the remote, so the average was 3 eggs. If it was just the mouse and keyboard it'd be a nice working, good looking product. But I was trying to use it for my Home Theater setup...

The gyration air technology is by far one of the coolest things that have surface for mice and pointer devices in last 10 years. The ability to move your pointer around simply by swinging the remote is very easy and intuitive, almost as intuitive as...

The universal remote feature is pretty much worthless. It's a very basic off the shelf universal remote like the ones you buy for 10 bucks at a big box store, you have to input device codes, which are way out of date and they don't have current...

Great Great!!

Originally only bought the remote. Picked up the keyboard after owning the remote about 2 months. Used same receiver without any issues. As someone else said, keyboard is a little small, but totally usable. Has a ton of shortcut keys on the keyboard....

Easy setup, great range, gyro mouse is awesome

If you want total functonality, you must use Win MCE

So intuitive, the perfect compliment for your HTPC

I can't think of another product that makes using your PC easier with your Home Theater.

Works right out of the box, and is easy to figure out. The remote is a perfect combination of a/v control and air mouse. The keyboard is nicely integrated. You only have to plug in the one usb receiver. Keyboard works very well and is about as hard to...

Comes with alkaline batteries and no charging station... I guess it really depends on how long batteries last

Great for the Media Center PC

I absolutely love this keyboard/remote combo. I use my bedroom PC as a media center and this combo works quite well for my needs. The remote makes it very easy to go from channel surfing to web surfing (although there is a slight learning curve to get...

Well designed, high quality, works very well, gyro mouse feature of remote

Keyboard a bit cramped feeling. Sometimes the keyboard skips letters when typing (possibly low battery or wireless intereference???)

good but ...

I might have to bite the bullet and upgrade to vista home premium to get a proper media center setup

It doesn't require any drivers, pretty light-weight

I was hoping to be able to use this weth my MediaPortal setup which supports MCE remotes ... but no-go with a lot of the media buttons on this remote (sigh)

Nice Vista MCE Remote

The gyro mouse function on the remote is particularly helpful in navigating through windows and closing windows without the use of shortcuts. The keyboard works remarkably well for such a small footprint

One of my keys is loose in less than a month. I have not decided whether or not to RMA the keyboard
