  1. Always liked this Mouse by ackthpt · · Score: 2 · on Wireless mouse+keyboard+gamepad

    Gyration's Gyromouse was my favorite at my job 3+ years ago. When I build my next home system the Gyromouse will be there and the logitech or microsoft mouse will be in a box in the closet.

    Gyromice use piezo-gyros, no moving parts. click with your thumb, which eliminates the strain on finger tendons. They're pretty damn nice, IMHO.

  2. Of Mice and Geeks by ackthpt · · Score: 1 · on Logitech's "Mouse that Feels"

    Yeah, I'll believe it when I try it out and not just for 5 minutes while the Salesman-From-Hell belches out all it's virtues instead of being swept away by an extremely localized hurricane.

    A couple years ago I had the pleasure of using a Gyromouse and it absolutely rocked. I'll get another one as soon as I ditch my laptop for a desktop system. The true beauty wasn't just the wireless operation, but that I could click with my thumb. Thumb is much stronger and reaction time seems shorter, probably due to shorter arc length of rotation (i.e. pressing button on 2" digit instead of 3") Fatigue from clicking usually never set in, even after hours of surfing or game play.

    Maybe Gyration and Logitech could get together and make a true gyro with resistance, etc.
