I bought it because it stated that it was compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Well I have a Mac pro and the mouse cannot be configured because it is not compatible with Intel based Macs.

I bough the iHome alarm player for my Creative Zen 60 gb mp3 player. This player was advertised as an accessory for my player but it doesn't work with my player.

I love these speakers - but there are several caveats you need to know before shelling out a substantial pile of cash to get them.
THE GOOD
1) Awesome sound - solid range and great bass from a small system
2) Plug and Play
3) Loud enough for one room party
4) Good at conversational levels - dinner jazz background etc.
5) Good remote (for volume and on/off (weaker for more advanced functions)
THE BAD
1) Not so portable (bulky and over 5 lbs.) - I would not easily take them on trips unless I knew they'd be used a lot.
2) Weak battery life - They lasted about four hours on medium power (they are rated for three hours on full power). Not good enough for a day on the beach and a back up battery is $90 plus.
3) There are products that sound as good or better if you don't want portable and longer lasting sound if you do.
Like I said, I love these speakers. But doggone they are expensive. I'd love them a lot more at $200 but that's not likely to happen anytime soon. However if you want

After purchasing this wheel, I don't know why it gets so many overwhelmingly good reviews. The G25 is poorly constructed, has some design issues and didn't meet my expectations.
The wheel itself consists of a plastic housing with a metal wheel. This sounds nice until you realize that the wheel and paddles are just stainless steel stampings with unfinished edges. The center button on the wheel fell off when I removed the protective film. The "leather" doesn't feel like the real thing and the whole wheel is thin and hard. There are only two buttons on the wheel, meaning you have to reach over to the shifter to navigate your way through the game menus. The real issue with the wheel itself is the gear mechanism used for the force feedback. You can really feel the notches as the wheel rotates, which does NOT emulate a real steering feel. Logitech should have used a finer pitch gear for smoother movement (or used a belt drive like Fanatec.)
The shifter is the bane of this wheel. Its

I purchased this for my 11 year old daughter, as she wanted a "real" racing wheel with pedals for the Wii. It was easy to set up (just plug it in) and, it worked right away. After launching Mario Kart Wii with the wii remote, the Thrustmaster wheel functions like an additional wii remote for choosing characters and races. The pedals work for acceleration and braking, and, I find that the racing wheel has a nice feel to it. It can be set to one of two sensitivity settings.
I also found a sheet showing the button presets for Mario Kart on the Thrustmater support website. For instance, the brake pedal also functions as a drift button. My daughter loves it. She races with my 14 year old son, who uses the Wii wheel that came with the game. But they both prefer using the Thrustmaster racing wheel, as it is easier to use and more "fun," than the standard wii wheel.
NOTE: Thrustmaster Technical Support has informed me that Mario Kart Wii is the ONLY Wii game that supports this racing

I seem to be the only person in here who has figured out why this mouse behaves the way it does - from the agressive sleep mode to the misguided complaints of laser/bluetooth failures (which are NOT what's happening).
Fact is, this stunningly beautiful and high-quality mouse is overpoweringly industrial strength in both laser and bluetooth signal strengh, which is both a blessing and a curse.
In short, this mouse is a battery hog, and what people are experiencing (but seemingly unable to figure out for themselves) are the following:
1. Laser failure due to batteries running down.
2. Bluetooth signal dropps because of batteries running down.
3. Batteries running down because of extremely high output laser and bluetooth signal strength.
Consider:
Ever wondered why this mouse still works even when it's hovering a half inch above any surface?
Ever wondered how this mouse is able to work on glass?
Ever noticed that the manual says this mouse works up to 33 feet when most mice become

Pros: Ton of Fun, Awesome Play Control, Great Competition
Cons: Computer Rubberbanding, No COOP Grand Prix
This game is fun. The online play makes every race intelligent and challenging. While the traditional single player is a great challenge it's extremely difficult because the computers cheat. Of course they've always cheated since the original Mario Kart, but this time they cheat even worse.Now the online play is what makes this game great. You can always get anywhere from 7 to 11 competitors at any time of the day or night. These people are tough, but it's always a blast ramming and slamming them as you race for the finish. Its so much more real when you get those pesky computers off thet track. You ram them and they feel it in their hands, it doesn't get better than that.
The way the online play is set up is very slick. Nintendo picks players from either your country or around the world. They introduce them to you as a Mii waving in their locality on the globe. Sometimes you might race the same people 10 times in a row so you've got that opportunity to make it personal.

This G25 is simply AMAZING. It receives 5 star votes for every category except value. This wheel's build quality is superb except the shifter like everyone has mentioned. This received a 4 star for value because come on.... $299msrp $220ish on every site? This is sooooo expensive.
I upgraded from a Driving Force Pro,which I got for $70 so upgrading to something that was 3x as expensive took a long "sit on it" time. I have wanted this wheel since it was first introduced and then after 2 years of "sitting on it" I finally bought it. Driving racing sims with the clutch adds a whole new level of fun. The DFP was good, probably the best before the G25 came along. Too bad the DFP had plastic pedals that don't give you a lot of resistance, a force feed back motors that gives you a lot of noise.
The G25 has amazing feel to it. The leather itself is worth some money in my book. Both the wheel and the gear shfiter are leather wrapped! The paddle shifters are aluminum that gives it a better feel

I have been using this wireless mouse for over a month now and I find it to be an excellent product. The design is excellent. I had been wearing a wrist brace every night but since using this mouse I do not have to wear the brace at all. The battery life is more than I expected. I'm on my computer most every day averaging 15 hours a day. The first battery recharge was after 18 days, now I just slide it onto the handy recharger at night and I'm good to go the next day. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

First, let me say that I've used and like many Logitech products. I use their cordless trackman and MX610 and LX7.
I ordered this because while the LX7 does amazingly well for an LED mouse on plain surfaces, it's not quite up to laser sensors for very small movements when doing graphics work. I hoped that the LX8 was a step-up from the LX7.
It's not, in a couple of ways that aren't its fault: It's much lighter than the LX7 and lacks its pleasant degree of heft. It's wider, but that's not a fault.
The big problem is that the side buttons are easy to touch by mistake, and their resistance is so incredibly minimal that the only way I could have used this mouse would have been to disable those 2 buttons, and I don't like losing buttons on a mouse.
I thought it might just be my unit, but someone else had the same problem.

I mistakenly thought this was the same as the wheel that came with Mario Kart. It is NOT, and that wheel is better - it has a trigger-like button for the B button.
This wheel make removal of the controller a bit more difficult to boot (you have to push from both ends, vs. the Wii wheel which will release the controller by simply pushing on the hole in the back where you put the strap).
The wheel will still work ok, and I do not plan on buying another Wii wheel to replace it, but if you can, just buy the Wii wheel.

This wheel is very similar to the wheel that comes with Mario Kart, but there is no button cover for the B button! If you are trying to play manual and power slide, good luck! It feals like it's broken right from the package! Go with the official version!

This turned out to be too small for my hand. Actually, it has a low profile on the outside, meaning that it's very difficult to pick up and move around. I know I "row" when I use my mouse, but I switched from a Logitech MX-1000 which had finally died.
I like MS and I've used their mice in the past, but this time, it just wasn't for me. I also like to game and it really doesn't work well for that.
I ended up getting another Logitech (Revolution) which I like better for my hand and the additional buttons are pretty handy.

There is not much to say about this mouse, and it's a good thing: it just works. This is an ordinary 2 button/1 scroll wheel optical mouse, slightly smaller than the average desktop mouse but larger than the micro travel mice; that makes it just about right so that it's small enough to take along on trips and large enough to be comfortable to use even if you have large hands.
Pairing is quick, reliable and painless on OSX and Windows.
Unlike the tiny micro bluetooth mice I previously owned, this one uses a pair of AA batteries, not AAA. This explains the excellent battery life; good quality NiMH batteries will last weeks in there before you need to recharge them.
The bottom features a pairing button and a sliding power switch. If you forget to switch the mouse off, no problem: it goes into power save mode after a period of inactivity. To wake it up, you just click on a button.
Is your laptop bluetooth capable? Don't waste your money on a competing bluetooth mouse. This one does as good

I LOVE the Mariokart Wii game. I bought a wheel and a remote + nunchuk combination to try which one worked better. To give you background, I did play Mariokart using N64 controllers in the past, but I'm not an avid gamer. My other friend plays videogames occasionally. We both agreed that the wheel was really difficult to handle with turns, and for some reason it wouldn't flip even when I tried. It works, but if you want really tight control over courses, if you want to beat the computer characters and unlock new courses, the wheel probably won't be the best accessory. On the other hand, the remote + nunchuk combination was much easier to play with, your arms are not constantly in motion and you can take a much more relaxed stance on the couch. It just felt a lot more natural to me.

This is OK at best. If you want to have a one stop unit (both mouse and presentation controller), it's a really great option. It can perform basic functions, but the only drawback is that you have to isntall the software to get the buttons to work right. I'm not sure why Microsoft didn't just have the buttons emulate interrupts for keystrokes that move slides forward and things like that. I have several other wireless presentation devces (Gyros and remote controls) and they all work with no need for extra drivers.
Now, as a mouse... it's one of the best portabile mice I've owned. I've had mice from Logitecha and Microsoft in this small form factor and, as a mouse, it's definitely my favorite. I really like the addition on the newe cordless mice of the on/off switch so you can save battery. This also comes with a great hardshell carrying case.
If the presentation features were a bit more powerful and didn't reqire the installation of the drivers, I could give it five stars. If those issues

The concept of a Wiimote wheel was just plain hilarious. And very easy to poke fun of. Why do you need a plastic wheel that's detached from anything? Are you going to drive with it at the top of your head? Then there's the fact that they went through 20-iterations or so to design the wheel. And then you can go on and on about how complicated is it to design a wheel. It's not like they needed to reinvent the wheel.
But then I actually used, and surprised surprised it was fantastic. It felt natural to use the wheel and the wiimote together. It's comfortable and the response was just seamless. It was especially useful at keeping me from over steering as I wont to do in previous mario kart game. So yes, the wheel is definitely worth it. I don't know how people with different hand sizes feel about the wheel, but it perfectly suited mine.

I was skeptical about how it would feel holding a stirring wheel in the air and maneuvering through traffic...I was wrong. Within seconds, you forget you are holding the wheel and you are just focused on the race. This was a great addition to modernize one of my favorite games of all time (Mario Kart).

Mario Kart lives up to all the hype it has had this year--and then some. It's a fun, age-friendly game that then entire family can enjoy. For Wii owners, this game is a must have. Mario Kart Wii is easily the best game to come out on Wii yet, and one of the best games of all time.

So at first I was a little skeptical about this game because I have played every other version of Mario Kart and the Wii Wheel worried me because it seemed like it would be hard to control and gimmicky. After having played it, I actually find it to be the most fun out of all the mario karts. This version is very similar to Mario Kart 64 only with additional features such as
*12 racers in the grand prix
*Online racing (This morning I raced 12 people from around the world and there was no lag and hardly any wait time)
*Tricks (that can be done with the flick of the wii wheel, although I noticed occasionally the tricks are unresponsive if you don't shake it hard enough)
*16 new courses and 16 retro courses.
*You can play as your mii
I love the courses, they are very colorful with great music and range from piece of cake to challenging
There's a ton of items you can use to "attack" opponents with such as that horrible blue shell that attacks the racer in first place. It's also great from
