Gyroscopic Wireless Mouse

Posted by michael on from the charge-me-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This is a must for any game player. Gyration has introduced a working wireless gyroscopic mouse. The $119.95 price tag is a little steep but it works with Linux and it doubles for an optical mouse if placed on the desktop. There is an article about it at Linux Journal." We mentioned an earlier version a year or two ago.

      This is a newer version. Apparently the older version had a range of 25 ft. Although this version only had a 30 ft range, but hey, that extra 5 feet could be good. Also, there's a 100 ft version as well. It'll set ya back $180 bucks though.

    This had 6 degrees of freedom waaaay back in `98. Didn't sell real well, bout the only game I could actually sit thru the learning curve on was Mechwarrior III. It could have been nice for another input device (3D CAD) but I could never get it working how I thought it should, & there was very little support for Win2k & up.
