works pretty well, as long as I don't let the batteries go down forever. Then it suddenly starts tttttttttttttttttpigggggggggggggg leeeeeeeeee thsssssssssssssss, but it's sudden, and obvious. Other than that, I approve.

cheers. whats the battery life? and it works fine unless batteries are low? i dont mind replacing/charging batteries all the time, as long as it works perfectly when all juiced up...

yeah, as long as the batteries are fine, no problems. I'd say they last at least a few weeks, and I use it a LOT.

np...now that I think about it, though, idk how you want to use it, but I wouldn't say it's got the most amazing range in the world.

yeah, range wont be much of an issue. probably less than 10 feet. i just want something so when i press "go forward" i move forward, or "build tier 1 point defence here" it doesnt hang for moments before my little engineer does its job.

well, as long as you don't have a bunch of stuff in the way, you should be fine. The batteries tend to matter more when you get farther away.

want to avoid bluetooth if at all possible.

I didn't think that gaming consoles were that good with a keyboard and mouse. I think you should just stick with your game pad, you can't really play that well anyway so it would all be a waste of money. How is the atari (game rig) going????
