The battery on mine is starting to get a little short as well, so I may just pick up a Logitech. It's for my media PC in the theater, so I don't need to match any existing installations... Perhaps I'll crack it open and see what sort of pixie dust is inside it... -sc From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 3:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Air Mouse? Going to Gyration (or your favorite reseller) and buying a new one is the only way I have ever found to "fix" one that loses its motion. I've had a couple that have lost one direction or the other over the years. (I have used over a dozen Gyration devices over the years, so the failure rate is not as high as it might appear.) Before making a purchase you might want to check with Gyration regarding future availability, I bought one a couple of weeks ago and noticed that all of my resellers, as well as Gyration's web site, were showing a lot of their products as "out of stock". When I asked the resellers about it, they told me that they were showing the products as being EOL with no new products showing to take their place. We went ahead and scrounged up a mouse and keyboard so that they matched the standard we already had in place with our other gyro mice in our conference rooms. If we had not already had the existing Gyration devices in place we would have gone with the Logitech gyro mouse as they seem to have a plan for long term product life which Gyration currently is missing.
