[QUOTE="level20peon, post: 177151, member: 28613"] I received the MX Air yesterday and spent some time playing, here are my results: - The freespace technology works fine - The ergonomy is almost perfect - The possibilites to control the HTPC are fine if you know how to use them Well first I have to say that since I am using Windows Server 2003 the original Logitech SetPoint software won't work so I cannot remap any buttons with this Logitech application. But I have been using applications like [URL="http://www.autoitscript.com"]AutoIT[/URL] and the derivated [URL="http://www.autohotkey.com/"]AutoHotkey[/URL] besides the [URL="http://carl.kenner.googlepages.com/glovepie"]GlovePIE[/URL] application for controlling the HTPC with my WiiMote and for general hotkey purposes for quite some time so custom remapping was no problem. I think you can configure the Mouse easier with SetPoint when you are using WinXP or Vista. I think you can also map the MediaHotkeys like [I]play, pause etc[/I] without any of the above mentioned applications by configuring the "[I]General HID[/I]" in the "MediaPortal configuration -> Remote" section if you should use this Logitech software. So even if you are not interested in writing control scripts it should be possible to map anything to fit your needs for MediaPortal. There are, however just few buttons on the mouse but if you map them with some important actions it is sufficient to control the entire PC with this single device (at least I manage to do this ;)). The mouse is very lightweight and fits perfectly into a palm which makes it very comfortable. In compare with my WiiMote I will prefer this new nice peace of hardware and sell the WiiMote (I don't have a Wii console at all :wtf:). I hope this information was helpfull. Just ask if you want to know anything else. -level20peon [/QUOTE]
