BOX DOES NOT STATE WORKS WITH WINDOWS XP [Posted on 2003-12-04] This is an older 2001 Year model which is discontinued. www.gyration.com has no information on this model as the items box states YEAR 2001 on the box. The box does NOT state the item works with Windows XP. I am returning mine and purchasing the new model together with the keyboard and I am certain they will make a nice addition to my computer. The owners Manual you download here at Amazon.com states it DOES work with Windows XP but REMEMBER it is discontinued and the included RF receiver is different than the new models RF Receiver, so I wonder if it will work and is compatible with a NEW MODEL YEAR 2003 GYRATION KEYBOARD ???
Great Mouse until it died, then Gyration made me sad!! [Posted on 2003-12-06] Bought the wireless "air" mouse and wireless keyboard with my new Gateway computer. Mouse died after working for about three weeks. Gateway sent me to Gyration for support - still waiting. Tried sending emails, they answered with a question which I answered but nothing since. Spent several hours waiting on hold on a non 800 phone line for someone who "will be with you shortly" but didn't come on line. Sounds like a good product if you get a good one, but heaven help you if you get a lemon. The keyboard worked fine and still does.
Excellent Mouse [Posted on 2004-01-16] I purchased this mouse and the optional keyboard from staples about a year ago. This has been one of the best investments I've made. The built-in battery pack on the mouse holds up to about a week of continuous use either as being optical or a gyro mouse. When it does go dead, simply pop it on the charger overnight and its ready to go again. At first I thought it would be like other technology gimmicks, but couldn't resist the potential sweetness of the idea. Over a year of continuous use surfing the web, writing reports, playing games and programming without a hitch. I use it mostly as an optical mouse, occasionally surfing the web with my hand dangling below my chair simply moving my wrist. When I want to watch a movie on my computer, I just take the keyboard and mouse and recline to watch the movie in my recliner. Installation couldn't be easier...pop in the usb connector to the receiver and push the "learn" button for each device as described in the quick start guide. No drivers required. One note of concern, gyration claims a 25' range, however in my dorm room (where cell phones sometimes dont work either) the range is less than that. If i sit the receiver on my computer case or anything metal, the mouse movement sometimes is choppy. Simply moving the base or adjusting the antenna usually fixes this. My friend also has the same keyboard/mouse combo and hasn't had any problems at all. I'd recommend this setup over logitech or any other brand. If you like a laptop keyboard, you'll love this keyboard as they are identical. Battery life is amazing in the keyboard, 4 AA batters require changing every 6 months or so with even heavy use. Your friends WILL be impressed.
Picture doesn't match product [Posted on 2004-04-24] The Gyration GP94455-001 is not the Ultra GT which is shown.
Gyration mouse is AWSOME [Posted on 2008-09-07] I am surprised this little device didn't catch on. If you have not had the experience you are really missing out. Super cool!
