I have the keyboard/mouse combo. The Gyration products are really quite good, the mouse works quite well. However I've found that a trackball is nicer to use as it is always in the same place. I'll have both in the car. The keyboard is pretty good, but I wish they had a version with backlit keys.

The mutimedia wand looks really cool :-)

Gyration makes some pretty nice RF wireless products, and I'm testing a more basic version of the setup above. I would love to have this in my car seeing how that remote control has every button I would ever need such as volume, play, ff, rewind...etc...

The kicker is that it has a built-in gyroscope so that you can use it as a mouse without needed to put it on a mouse pad or other surface. Just wave it around in the air and the cursor moves, pretty cool. Their keyboard is impresive too, really small and solid.

The only drawback is their basic keyboard/mouse combo is about $100, and the multimedia combo above goes for about $170. I rationalize it because I no longer need to buy a touch-screen, so I can save a little money from buying a non-touch screen and apply that cash towards this.

Thoughts, comments?
