I got this combo about a week ago and it works great!
Anybody whos interested in a mini wireless keyboard should take a look at this combo. The mouse works in the air (which works great!). Very solid, quality construction.

check it out!

Heh, I actually bought the Gyration. The keyboard is great... Wireless, and small enough to fit in the glovebox. The mouse sucks, mainly because it is a pain to keep charged. Never seen a cordless mouse hold a charge for a shorter period than the gyration. You have to remember to manually turn the thing off. Yuck.

So I use the keyboard and then one of those little travel-mice (corded), and that solution works pretty well. You can get the keyboard only combo for cheap, highly recommended.

They have the older 25 foot range model there for $75 in the refurb section. That's where I got mine and it looks unused like they just made too many.

I've had the gyration RF keyboard for a while now. works great.

It came with the mouse, but the mouse has never been out of the box.

I use a trackball which I have put into the ashtray.

I use the mouse only when needed. I haven't had any charging/battery problems (as of yet). I find the mouse works great... you just have to use your wrist instead of your arm. Keyboard is a little cramped (some buttons too small - ie- left alt and delete/home/etc in wrong area), but besieds that, it works great.

Same here. I use the mouse maybe an hour or two every few days, or when I need something familiar for working quickly, and recharge it once a month unless left on overnight. It lasts at least 10 hours total. The optical is as good as any other and the gyro is really impressive. It's like it just goes where you point. On they keyboard I hate that whole left Fn-Ctrl-Alt spot. I'm always hitting the wrong key there.
