Shame about the software freezing on you this time Clive. In fact, the MotionTools software can easily be updated to the latest version, either manually or automatically. Just go to "settings" where you can either select an immediate update or tick the option to trigger automatic updates. Movea release free corrective updates from time to time.

to know is -can this be useful in 3d modelling software? Or is it too crude?

Why are you reviewing a mouse INQ??

Have you forgotten you are an in-depth, highly-technical title?

Where is the rest of the review too?
It is only 400 words!!!

Where are the few thousand word reviews you are famed for?

400 words is hardly enough content to be bothered reading.

T3 and Stuff write more words on their "first looks" reviews.

Come on INQ, get your act together and stop reviewing nonsense like a mouse.

What is next, a mouse mat? USB Cable? The color blue?

(So let me get this straight - you complain that we're reviewing something as banal as a mouse, and then complain that the review is too short. The review is short because it's just a mouse - albeit an interesting one due to the dual functionality - Ed)

If IRC, Gyration had "Air mice" available around 1996, and were responsible for the earliest Wii-mote prototypes. It's nice to see how the devices have matured.
