4.0 out of 5 stars I like my mouse, November 3, 2007

Im currently using this mouse as a media center. So I cant comment to the gentleman's battery problems as I always put mine back on the cradle, because its like a wireless device with a battery that drains.

The mouse itself functions well. It takes getting used to because you DONT have to point at the screen. All the movements are relative to the mouse, not the receiver. I like the button setup, they are easy to get to and it doesnt seem to jitter as much as the wiiMote. All in all, im happy I bought this mouse, I may even try it out on some games.

Some of the con include getting used to it :) Also, the laser mouse in the base of it can sometimes throw off the movement. For the most part its a non issue.

BTW, im using this with Kubuntu and it was plug and play. haven't tried it on my windows system yet.

This mouse exceeded my expectations! After a very short learning curve, I found this mouse was very easy to operate. It allows very precise movements of the mouse pointer and has a lot of versatility. I highly recommend this mouse!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Battery is worthless ( DOA) and not under warranty, January 26, 2007

My battery will not hold a charge. It last about 1 to 2 hours then I have to put it back on the charger. I called technical support. They said they could not help. When I asked for a manager they asked me to call customer care. So I called customer care. They said that batteries are not under warranty. I'm still looking for that fine print. Well I've never worked with a company that would not stand behind their product. So I decided to update as many forums as I can to warn people to stay away from Gyration products made by Thompson. Do you want to be the next sucker with a dead mouse?
