Ugh, gyroscope mice are not efficient compared to other input methods. The laptop-style touch pad is cumbersome and is hard to do one-handed. The classic trackball is awesome except for when the oils and dead skin from your hands turn into this nasty finger jizz and makes the trackball stick.

I would take that trackball over the touch pad any day but what I think would be perfect is the Blackberry "track pad" a combo of the touch pad and trackball. I don't know why this type of remote has been so hard for people to get right.]]>May 3rd 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/
Gyromotes are HEAVEN for HTPCs provided you get one thats accurate (the gyration one is and has come down in price a lot).

Touchpads and pointsticks suck ass by comparison. The only advantage is that they're cheap as dirt.]]>May 3rd 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/
I disagree. The tap click on the little track pad keyboard I use with my HTPC is fine one handed. It's how I use it most of the time actually..

From personal experience. Put it on my knee, or beside me on the couch, and I can steer the cursor around and tap twice to double click. one finger does the job just fine.]]>May 4th 2010 5:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/May 3rd 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/

Cheaper? You're assuming you already paid $199+ for an iPod touch or iPhone. That's like saying buying Scrabble on iPad is a deal compared to the real physical board game.

This is a crapgadget-worthy device with an equally crappy price, it can't really be compared to a more versatile tool like an iPod/iPhone.]]>May 3rd 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/May 3rd 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/May 3rd 2010 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/fly-mouse-takes-to-the-air-with-qwerty-keyboard-gyro-usb-wirel/This baby has the shelf :)
