Feeling tied down to your lumpy office chair? So stand up, trash your antiquated scroll-wheel mouse, and start living. Believe it or not, you could be mousing in the air. (Directors note: cue theme song to Greatest American Hero.) Never thought you could feel so free?
All kidding aside, the new version of the Gyration Ultra mouse isnt exactly the next Greatest American Hero, but its in the running for the Greatest American Mouse. This little beauty gives you the amazing and uncanny ability to mouse around, free from your desktop with natural hand movements. Even more unique, you can use the mouse either as a standard desk mouse – it rolls around like a standard optical mouse – or held in the air, like a remote control.
Whether standing or sitting, as long as youre within 25 of the base receiver, you can surf the web, play games, and control your home theater PC (see ExtremeTechs Build It: Extreme TiVO PC for an example), all with the swipe of your hand. Theres no need to own a mousepad ever again.
