    Hi, new here. I travel a lot on planes, and by my name you can probably tell I like planes.

    Anyone try one of these before? I need something I can use in the air and at the airport for games, Photoshop and Illustrator, and this video looks quite promising. I've seen them on Ebay for like $18 so it's not too big of a deal if it turns out to be a total piece of junk but I want to hear some opinions.

    I was hoping someone who's actually played with one of these could tell me their experiences.

    Meh. I'd rather have a real mouse... something like a Logitech Anywhere MX. The Darkfield imaging sensor they use in that mouse is by far the best I have ever used. It never skips, and it works on every surface I have ever tried to throw at it (including my pants, airplane seat cushions, and airplane table trays).

    If you want something larger and more full-sized, the Logitech Performance MX is the bigger brother that uses the same imaging sensor.

    It's probably a spammer account.

    That's actually really cool! I wonder how accurate it is. :D
