Easy, intuitive use in air; long range; can be used by left- or right-handers.
No Mac drivers; mouse feels cramped when used on a table.
The Air Mouse is a solid product. Although it’s cramped for on-table use, it’s surprisingly comfortable when used in mid-air. The learning curve is also relatively gentle, and it’s easy to get your mind and muscles around this peripheral...
Abstract: When is a PC like a Wii? When its paired with Gyrations 3D-motion mouse, a pointing device that keeps working when you lift it off your desk and wave, shake, or swipe it in the air. Vangie Beal finds the $100 high-flyer a little clunky when earthboun...

Travel-size gyroscopic mouse; works as a regular optical mouse as well.
Not as comfortable to use as previous Gyration mice; feels cheap and insubstantial; occasionally spotty response.

Flawed in some ways, but brilliant in others, the Gyration Air Mouse with MotionSense is probably the best all-in-one tool for presentations, remotely controlling media and some unique Wii-like gaming on the PC. Now if only the company would bring out a v...
Abstract: For Window's users, numerous individual profiles interpreting different sets of shake and swipe gestures can be configured as commands to initiate literally dozens of actions including launching a specific file, opening a virtual keyboard or managing Windows Media Centre. Kick back in your armchair and use the Air with a media PC running on your wide..
Abstract: Observant Web User veterans may recall us reviewing the first Gyration mouse way back in Issue 41. Since then, the company has stealthily made its way into many of our homes, having licensed some of its technologies to Nintendo for use in its innovati...
Good for mobile use; dongle storage; great software; useful motionsensing,
Too small for true comfort
A genuinely useful mouse for anyone who might find themselves without a large enough flat surface with a normal mouse. The motion gestures are also good for Media Center...
