When we reviewed the Gyration Air Mouse GO Plus, our main complaint was that although its base functions worked on a Mac, the drivers needed to configure its programmable buttons were Windows-only. Now Gyration's MotionTools software has been released...

It's certainly not cheap, but the Air Mouse Elite is an excellent presentation accessory. It takes a little training to get the best out of it, but once you're familiar with its quirks it comes into its own as an accurate and customisable wireless poi...

Manufacturers have come up with some pretty strange peripherals in their quest to cater to specific needs. One of the more interesting of these is Gyration's Air Mouse range. Similar to the Wii-mote with MotionPlus from Nintendo's popular Wii console, the...
Quite simply, the Elite is Gyration's best Air Mouse yet. If you can live with its few drawbacks and don't require the mobility afforded by the portable Air Mouse, it's the most comfortable mouse around that'll work both on and off your desk. You do pay e...

Gyration's Air Mouse Elite is a wireless pointing device with a split personality. A gyroscope from the people behind the Nintendo Wiimote allows mid-air cursor control with a flick of the wrist, yet set the Elite down on a flat surface and it automati...

At first glance the Elite looks like an ordinary desktop mouse with its ergonomic design and scroll wheel wedged between its standard dual control buttons. Yet, when I picked the Elite up, my index finger naturally curled itself around its top-mounted tri...
Despite only basic Mac/Linux support, the charger shortcomings and minor niggles with the gesture recognition capability, I enjoyed using Air Mouse Elite. It has broad appeal for a range of environments as it works well as a traditional desktop mouse, whi...

Ergonomic. No batteries needed.
MotionTools software isn’t user-friendly. Takes a while to get used to. Not as comfortable as a day-to-day mouse.

A few weeks ago I was able to get my hands on the Gyration Air Mouse Elite. The Air Mouse Elite isn’t your traditional mouse. You don’t glide it around a hard surface but instead you use it like you would a wii-mote. You hold it in your hand and while...

The Gyration Air Mouse Elite ($79.99 direct) can be described simply as a mouse version of Nintendo's Wii Remote. The only difference is that the Wiimote tracks movement based on line-of-sight, while the Air Mouse Elite is based around Radio Frequency...

Overall, if you’re an HTPC owner, professor, road warrior, or presenter of any kind, the Elite may be an ideal fit. Just be prepared to sacrifice a USB port to the included battery charging stand.
