4.0 out of 5 stars Gyration Go Series Full-size Keyboard & Optical Air Mouse 'Sweet', June 22, 2006

This review is from: Go 2.4GHZ Consumer Series Cordless Full-size Keyboard and Optical Air Mouse Suite (Personal Computers)

After the required 8 hour first time charge on the mouse, the set installed without complications.

The Keyboard has a good, positive feel and responds well but not overly responsive to where it creates 'repeeeeeaters' which become annoying.

The Optical Air Mouse is very responsive in the air or on the mouse pad. With its two options for use, I can give my wrist a break and change how I am working with it or easily change it to my other hand.

The 30 foot range is ample for in home use or in a classroom situation. The RF Receiver connected very easily and so far does not exhibit any interference issues with anything else in range.

My experience is that the GyroTools Software that comes with it is only needed if you wish to implement the special button commands and 'swipe' features that give you more options as well as presentation control.

My biggest concern now is WHERE to obtain spare battery and charger and a battery clip for regular batteries like is offered prolifically for the Ultra Series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Found what I was looking for!!, October 12, 2006

This review is from: Go 2.4GHZ Consumer Series Cordless Full-size Keyboard and Optical Air Mouse Suite (Personal Computers)

After several weeks of researching a wireless keyboard and mouse for my HDTV and PC setup I found the perfect product. I needed a product with very good range, no line-of-sight limitations and it had to be very responsive.

WOW.. did Gyration deliver! What a joy to sit way back on the sofa with my feet up and be able to type away and surf the net with a keyboard that does not miss a beat. The feel and response is fantastic. The special keyboard Media keys are a plus and they work fine with the "Firefox" browser.

I was a little hesitate about the "gyroscopic motion-sensing" technology for the mouse but discovered it was quite easy to get a hang of it. The fact that it is an optical mouse as well down played my fears and I find myself using it more and more as an "air" mouse. Pretty cool.

If you are looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse suite to use with a HDTV and PC..this is the one to go with in today's market. I understand Microsoft is coming out with a 2.4 GHz product of their own by early next year but with an expected price tag of over $200 dollars, I didn't feel it was worth the wait or money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice . Almost a 5 star, January 18, 2007

I like the device, It took a little practice, but it works great. My PPT presentations mix in 3D cadd programs and on screen calculators, The option to program the swipes is great.
I would give it 5 stars if:
1. it had a built in laser pointer
2. If the programable swipe keys had a small pop up icon box that would remind me what positions functions were programmed to.

other that , the best device I've used
