   I really like this mouse. It is unique and fun to use. At first I found it difficult to use it like a pointer or remote, but with some practice, I really like it. I like the scrolling action, you just have to move your finger over the buttons. Very light and easy to install. It can also be used like a regular mouse. Great quality, works well. I highly recommend.

   First of all, I must say that I have become such a huge fan of Logitech through the years. Over a decade ago (that's like 30 years in web time!) I had this little Connectix camera ball (QuickCam) on my monitor that shot black and white images and became the biggest perv-sensation through CU-SeeMe... and then Logitech comes along, takes over, and things have just been getting better and better. They have set the standard of what computers and the internet is all about. Ironically I was a product tester for Connectix in about 1994, so I've been following them for a long time. In recent months, I have been amazed at the QuickCam 9000, the beauty and function of remote controls and their Harmony series, and my favorite ... Squeezebox Duet Network Music System ... seriously rocks! Now we have the MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse... something we are just taking too much for granted at what this is doing. It's not just a mouse, it's a freakin' light saber. Setup was easy, the usb and mouse connect immediately. I already have a Logitech cordless mouse and keyboard set. But that has now moved to the old computer. This being rechargeable is very key, no batteries, long "air" time, and cool looking in the charging dock etc. The photo makes it look rather long and big, but it's actually standard if not thinner, light and feels great holding it. At first, I had it on the desk like a normal mouse, and it's completely great like that, but when you lift it, it then becomes mind-blowing in it's "air" state. It's motion sensitive and at first I was afraid of how to hold it, and wondering if I am blocking something on it, or what to point to etc.. but then I just held it the way I wanted to, and pointed at the screen without hesitation, and noticed we were getting along just fine. You are teaching yourself how to use it, how to click, pick up, highlight etc in a matter of minutes. It's essentially a remote control, and you can do everything a normal mouse can do, just in the air. It really is quite fun and makes many things much easier. Imagine the possibilities on all those "tube" like sites! There's a play and pause button, and .... well.. you have no idea what you are missing! On a more serious note, this is definitely a perfect tool for office presentations. If you surf in a group with a projection or large screen, this serves as your pointer. Only difference is that you are actually performing the functions instead of referring to them and getting in the way. This is laser technology at it's finest. The movements you make are spot on, and you adjust as the mouse adjusts to you. The learning curve here is to simply to let go of the standard limitations, and be free to move around the web in comfort and ease. There is certainly something better coming in the future, and I am sure it will be from Logitech. This is the future, here, now, and worth every penny tomorrow.

   This is a very good device once you get used to using it in the air. I personally think it excels for use in presentations. I have yet to use it to play multimedia or video games, so I'll leave those reviews up to others. Set up is a breeze, and it worked on my Vista laptop without a hitch. As a desktop mouse, it's OK, but I have others that I use that are more responsive. You're going to want to change some of the settings - particularly the scrolling feature. As other reviewers have mentioned - it's way too fast. I do find the device comfortable and it has a slick design. It's definitely a "hey check out my cool new tech-toy" thing. Once you've spent a week or so with it, using it in the air becomes second nature.

See all reviews...
