The Logitech MX Air is both a laser mouse that can be used on any flat surface and a gyroscopic mouse that can be used in the air. For any type of usage, it features a scroll panel that allows users to easily scroll through pages with a touch of a finger.
The MX Air’s most touted feature is its Freespace motion sensing technology. Because of this, users can control a computer’s cursor and click, scroll, and surf through mid-air hand gestures. Hand gestures can also be used to control playback, volume, and other functions of PC-based media.
The mouse, which comes in a glossy black and silver color combination, can be used with both PCs and Macs. It is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. When using it on Windows, users can benefit from MenuCast on-screen menus that allow them to control multimedia applications as well as web browsers. Among the supported multimedia applications that support MenuCast are Apple iTunes, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Rhapsody, Winamp, Intervideo WinDVD, ACDSee, Adobe Photoshop Album, Windows Photo Gallery, and Windows Picture Viewer. Web browsers that support it include Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, and Opera.
The Logitech MX Air is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery and has an operating range of 30 feet. It ships with a recharging station, a 2.4GHz wireless micro-receiver that connects through USB, an AC power cord, a Logitech SetPoint software CD, and a polishing cloth.

C omputer accessory giant Logitech has offered up its first ever gyroscopic mouse with the MX Air, a wireless mouse that is rechargeable and can control a computer’s cursor by simply moving the device through the air. For the $149 price tag, you get a media-friendly feature-filled mouse with such highlights as volume and playback control, and it will work completely right from the second you power it up. While it may take some time to get used to the speed and handling... Read more

Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse
Reviewer: Digit-Life27 February 2008It's hard to evaluate such devices. Pioneers always have to fight hard, innovations are better evaluated post factum. But they always have their audience. So the product under review will not be just a concept, it will go to the masses. Especially as it can be used to control media playback and browse the Web even now, when it's still raw. However, if you play games, you will need a cord mouse as well. So if you can afford it, you can buy it. Even if you don't use it... Read more

Logitech MX Air Review
Reviewer: HardwareCentral27 December 2007- Overall 8
For another, when in flight the Logitech can perform tantalizing -- albeit tantalizingly few -- special maneuvers or gesture commands. Pressing the Volume button while steering the mouse left or right decreases or increases audio volume, as seen on a pop-up horizontal bar on screen. Clicking the Volume button switches audio on and off. Pressing the Play/Pause button gives those commands to your media player. Holding the Play/Pause button down while sketching a clockwise...

This is one amazing mouse. I had purchased this mouse before a long trip for my mac book pro (17"). The charge lasted the entire week and few days (on and off use). All buttons function properly on my Mac Book Pro (loads of other mice didn't, most notably my Logitech G9). I recently ran the mouse through its entire battery in one day (continuous use) and decided that I could not spend that amount of time in front of a computer again, only to find out the mouse was...

Logitech MX Air Mouse
Reviewer: PriceGrabber3 weeks ago- Overall 4
We have been using this mouse with a Home Theater PC in the family room. While air mode is definitely a nice feature, mouse orientation is difficult to keep, and cursor needs to be centered on the screen oftenly. To make things worse, centering can not be programmed into any one button, but a side-to-side gesture that does not work very well. We ended up using a mouse pad to avoid these issues and have better control on cursor movement. Another problem is that... Read more

Worth Every penny!

"This mouse is worth every penny. It's so much easier to use the mouse in the air as opposed to having to use a hard surface. I'm disabled, and being stuck in bed a lot of the time made this mouse and the keyboard to match a necessity. No matter how limited my mobility is on a particular day, I can find a way to use the mouse to surf the web. A great investment for anyone who needs versatility in their computer components."
