Rating: Summary: Frustrating Review: I got this mouse due to shoulder problem from using desktop mouse hoping it would help. Idea seems very good but practically it's the most frustrating mouse I've ever used. couple of reasons why.
1) Mouse goes wacky (steers the mouse cursor to left bottom corner) after batteries are recaharged. you have to unplug and plug reciever's USB cable couple of times for it to work properly.
2) If there are any objects between the reciever and the mouse, the cursor moves with glitch even in close range of 2feet. Think how frustrating it could get when you are trying to hold th mouse steady in air. changing the channel helps but you have to do it several times a day. I have Logitech cordless mouse and I never had to deal with this kind of problem.
3) It's a pooly design. mouse buttons are huge (basically half of mouse are left and right buttons). you'll continue to press buttons unintentionally.
4) it's very ackward to use on desktop due to reason #3 big buttons.
In my oninion this Gyration mouse can NOT be used as primary mouse. moving mouse in the air is not as easy as it seems; you have to hold it steady and click, and with problems I mentioned in 2) it get frustrating to use. I would rather use my trackball as secondary mouse. If it works properly it's good for presentation but not everyday use.
Rating: Summary: Free at last!!!! Review: I have had my Gyration Ultra cordless mouse for about 8 months now and find it a Godsend.
If you spend hours a day sitting at a desk, then this is the mouse for you... you can move freely and sit comfortably without having to worry about the limitations of a normal deskbound mouse.
I find that I can sit in my office chair and lean back, with the Ultra in my hand and control 90% of what I need to do without keyboard interaction... Great!
If you need to do precision work, then you can use the Ultra as a normal cordless optical mose on any handy surface.
I highly recommend this product - without reservation.
Hope that this helps you in your decision...
Rating: Summary: KEN Review: I PURCHASED THIS MOUSE ALONG WITH THE KEYBOARD. IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY FOR ME. I TRIED ALL THE OTHER BRANDS WITH LIMITIED SUCCESS. I USE IT IN THE FREE HAND POSITION. THE MOUSE WORKS BOTH WAYS. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS MOUSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 11 MONTHS. THE MOUSE HAS RE-CHARGEABLE BATTERIES WHICH WORK GREAT AND HAVE A LONG LIFE USE WITH OUT THE NEED TO RE-CHARGE. THE BUTTONS ARE LARGE ON BOTH SIDES, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCATION. THE RANGE ON THIS MOUSE IS GREAT.
