Hi all.

I have a bit of a home theatre setup at my place. I'm currently using a wireless keyboard with built-in joystick to point... but I find that at random points it loses signal, leading to (among other things) massive typos on my DESL messages. The joystick is tolerable but slow.

I'm thinking about getting a wireless 3-D gyro mouse thing for pointing and a wired (with a long wire) mini-keyboard for typing.

Has anyone ever used such a thing (perhaps for presentations?)? How accurate is the pointing? Did it lag behind movements? What was your overall experience with it?

A make/model reccomendation would also be nice.

Thanks!

I have a wireless mouse presentation pointer device. The mouse is really slow even after jacking up the settings on the computer. The trick to get it faster is to always move on the diagonal.
