Congrats.

I suggest you do some research before you lay that much cash down. This is a decent product but for the $600-ish price you can buy a lot of awesome stuff.

If I had $600 to just spend I would get some Grado 325is Headphones, and a nice portable headphone amp. But I understand that you might not be into upper end audio....]]>Feb 28th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/Feb 28th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/Feb 28th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/Feb 28th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/Feb 28th 2010 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/viliv-s5-mid-gets-accuracy-boosting-hid-driver-for-windows-7/
Other people seem to be having sensitivity issues, I have had no such thing. The old driver registered a click as just tap, whereas the new one registers it as tap and RELEASE, which I think is what's making people think that there is reduced sensitivity.

If you have a Viliv S5 Premium 3G running Windows 7 I highly recommend you do this ASAP. You get the proper keyboard, Aero Snap works properly every time in every orientation, login with a password is now easy, handwriting recognition & ink in office, flicks, way better calibration, the touch point instead of a mouse & "tap and hold to right click" now works in all situations including the start menu & taskbar.

And just the simple fact it turns what was a glorified touch mouse into an actual tablet PC input.

Finally, kudos to Viliv for getting this to work on a PS/2 connection, from what I understood previously it wasn't possible or at least hadn't been done yet before.]]>Feb 28th 2010 7:28PM
