airmouse

[Monkey]

Has anyone ever used an air mouse to play games?
If so did you like it and was it kind of like the wii....?

The MXair is suppose to be a good gaming mouse just below the speed of the wireless g5 which is a very impressive wireless mouse. In terms of using the accelerometer in the air I would imagine it would become tedious in fps games more of a novelty then a useful feature however with strategy games it could be very good. Acelero mice are designed for htpc use so if you have a htpc and a big telly but want to play games without a desk I think its a bit of a no brainer.

Is it efficient though reactive and such?
require any hardware hacks?

talk to wildside he is the one who showed me i originaly saw it on a split screen mod for ut3, it lets you play up to 4 people on ut3, on the same comp. and then they used a wiimote mod to use as a controler since a KB/M is hard to use for split screen, they had the sensor bar ontop of the tv and it was on and they where using it normaly looked to work well so i am sure you can use the wiimote properly now.
