Our computers are part of who we are in a very literal sense. We kick back and spend much of our lives – both work and personal – sitting at our computer, mouse in hand. Unfortunately, that relaxed feeling of sitting in your favorite ergonomically correct chair is interrupted when you remember that your mouse isn't, literally, attached to your hand and requires a flat surface to perform its mousely duties. Ah, but wait. There's a new style of mouse that is becoming not just a fad, but almost a necessity. The "air mouse" is exactly what you are looking for to free yourself from that solid parallel plane.
Logitech's state-of-the-art MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse is one model that deserves a second look. This little beauty not only performs accurately on your desk, but also uses Freespace motion sensing while in the air to control your favorite media. PC-based media is a breeze to control with "intuitive wave-and-click control," boasts the Logitech website. As if you are conducting your own orchestra, you are able to adjust volume with a wave of the hand and skip tracks with a graceful flip of the wrist.
Step out of the office and into your entertainment room where – if you run your cable and television through Windows XP Media Center – you can easily save DVDs to your computer's hard drive, all with a gesture of the hand. Scrolling has suddenly become lightning fast, whether you choose to use the MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse on your desk or in the air. Presentations will suddenly become less awkward, as you have the freedom to control your PowerPoint presentation from across the room.
The MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse is available for purchase from www.logitech.com for $149.99 plus shipping. It comes with a recharging station, micro-receiver, AC power cord, Logitech SetPoint software CD, polishing cloth, user guide and 3-year limited warranty. The MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse contains a lithium-ion battery so it takes less time to juice it back up and lasts longer than a standard rechargeable mouse. At 2.4 GHz, the MX Air Mouse also gives you the convenience of a 30 foot range, so you can take charge of your media just about anywhere in a room.
