Anyone have a Gyration?

Hey I was in Best Buy and I say the tiny Gyration IR keyboard mouse kit. Does anyone have it? I read the mouse battery is rechargable but it looks like the keyboard takes AA. If someone has this can you comment on keyboard battery life? Thanks.

I Do I do!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!! I use it mainly with my HTPC, and with Frodoplayer you really dont need the keyboard, but the gyro mouse is AWESOME! You have to turn it off or it runs the rechargables dead, but it lasts quite a while. Just dont leave it undocked overnight! I plan on having the dock in the car and it will be on it most of the time. The keyboard uses regular batteries, but only transmits when a key is pressed, so they last months and months. I am going on 6 months and they are just like new.

I have the gyration setup in my acura, and it works great! A touchpad probably would have been nicer for the mouse, but it wasn't an option at the time... the fact that it's RF instead of IR is also nice.....

Well with all those movement, they have to be RF. No way IR can pick up all those movements.

And if you have 2, you can play virtual boxing or Kung-Fu Fighting. HOO HAA!!!
