I REALLY like this mouse. I've had a few wireless mice, some with extra buttons (browsing, zoom, etc.) but none with Media Controls like this. I'm using it with Asus EeeBox & Wireless Mac Keyboard (eventually able to get it to work by messing with Windows Registry) all on 32" TV. Love the setup!
I did find that the Transceiver lost signal when plugged directly into back of EeeBox, so I've had to keep it on extension and place it somewhere a little clearer. I've fortunately been able to keep it outta sight wherever I've put it.
Did anyone else notice this problem?
Also love that it's Mac (& apparently Linux?) compatible, so I can keep using it when I get my Mac Mini to replace EeeBox. :)

What do you think of it?
I have the SlimBlade Media Notebook set, which includes keyboard, numeric keypad, and mouse... and I really like it. They function very well and are nicely portable and stylish. Interestingly, though, the mouse that comes in the set does NOT have the media controls on the bottom (it is otherwise identical). A remote control is available for the set, but is sold seperately.
I've had the transceiver in the back of my PC and used the mouse up to 20 feet away before I've noticed problems.
The only thing I do not like about this mouse is the trackball though it may just be due to user error. When I scroll sometimes the mouse goes haywire and will scroll horizontally excessively.
Besides that it's pretty nice.

As a mouse it works great! However when I turn it over and use it in Keynote presentations I get problems. It is meant to work with Keynote just fine, as in adjusting the volume and going between slides. However if the trackball (which is upside down) moves just a tiny bit, it sends the presentation into a different mode. All the slides in my Keynote show up in a scroll bar across the top of the presentation.
I wish their was a way to deactivate the trackball when the mouse is turned upside down. Then it would work in all my apps especially Keynote, just perfect,
Is this possible? Its my only gripe.
