Lightbulb A good input solution

I just bought this niffty input device made by Gyration:Gyration . It a wireless mouse that can be use off the table. I got the mouse and keyboard combo at Futureshop for $139 CND before tax. It works great so far but have to test it out in the car enviroment.

somebody has posted about this before.

I believe someone said they had a hard time using the mouse in the car.

Ive got one

Its great but the gyro gets confused by the movment of a car

and if you drop the mouse (like place it on the seat and it drops off) the battery falls off far to easly

Other wise it would be ideal

My cars only very small so i needed something compact.
Its still the best for use stationary... but i need to get a touch pad or simalar for when the cars moving.

Yeah.. it turned out the Gyration mouse is too cumbersome to use in the car. I was at Fry's Electronics in Portland last weekend and bought a Cirque touch-pad. It seemd to work great so far. I will integrat it into my car this weekend.
