Jake Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I want a wireless mouse (and new wireless keyboard possibly although I already have a half decent one) which will work well with a large TV screen as a monitor. I've seen one at work that besides being a regular wireless mouse also works by pointing it at the screen and moving it about in the air - but I don't know what these things are called! Anyone know WTF I'm on about? Anyone recommend anything? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Make sure you check the range of any wireless stuff you get. I didn't and it p'sses Lin off no end having to sit too close to the 42" screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If it is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Keysonic-Wireless-Keyboard-Integrated-Frequency/dp/B000L10Y5E I have one, cheap as chips and works very well. Its wireless father than the naff IR you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its wireless father than the naff IR you get. That's just the keyboard though mate. It's really the mouse I'm looking for. Gyration mouse... I believe we use the logitech ones. Ta. I've found the ones we use at work now - actually the brand name is Gyration too. Edit: Ah, you found it too - thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Can vouch for the Gyration stuff Jake, been using one at home for years now and no problem with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Yep, I use a Gyration mouse and keyboard. They're awesome. TBH I hardly ever use the "mid air" thing, but they are powerful enough to operate my PC from upstairs (where I have a repeater monitor). My only criticism would be that I'm on my second keyboard (first one got replaced after an accident with a bottle of beer) and the legends on the keys seem to wear out very fast.
