Product Description
Ideal for use with the new Kylo browser for TVs. By connecting your computer to your home TV, you can enjoy your choice of TV shows, movies and more. Take advantage of top sites like Hulu, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube and Netflix. Or play your own videos and music using iTunes, Media Center or other applications. But don't leave a keyboard on your coffee table, or drag a mouse across your couch cushions! Use the Hillcrest Labs Loop pointer, the in-air mouse replacement. With just simple wrist movements, control the computer's cursor from your favorite easy chair across the room. And the award winning ergonomic design looks great in any setting. The Loop pointer is the motion-sensing mouse that moves your cursor with a wave of the wrist. The distinctive design has just four buttons and a scroll wheel. The first in-air remote designed specifically for the "10 foot experience," the Loop pointer with your computer dramatically enhances your big screen TV, or leaning back and enjoying your computer as a TV. Using your computer's USB 2.0 port, Loop pointer requires no extra software or drivers. The fast wireless connection works across large rooms and through closed cabinet doors. The Loop pointer incorporates Freespace motion sensing technology from Hillcrest Labs. This patented technology handles complex tasks to compensate for natural hand tremor and varying orientation while responding to the motion of the Loop pointer. These complicated algorithms result in a simple, natural experience that is easy to use. The Loop pointer is also a valuable tool for presenters and educators who use PCs and Macs connected to projectors. With the Loop pointer you can control presentations, navigate web pages and more from anywhere in the room. The Loop pointer works with computers running Windows, Mac OS or Linux. Try the Loop Pointer from Hillcrest Labs, one of PC World's "Best Products of 2009."

 Wonderful mouse/remote June 5, 2010
Adriane Sparks (Arlington, TX United States)
We transitioned from Dish to entirely internet TV a few months ago to save money. We love not having that huge bill every month, just a small one from netflix and free Hulu. Our only annoyance was having to get up to change shows, well not anymore! The Loop is awesome, it works as well as our Wii controller, but without the sensor bar, it just senses movement. It is crazy easy to install, just plug it into the USB drive and there you go, and using it is even easier, both my kids (5 & 7) use it easily. We love this mouse, and suggest it to as many will listen!
 Wait for further price drops April 27, 2010

I paid $99 for this a few months ago. It works OK, but it's a but awkward. Its good for moving the cursor across the entire screen, but harder to home in on a small button. To be honest, I also have a Magic Mouse for my iMac (which is used mainly for watching TV and surfing the web) and I find myself using the Magic Mouse most of the time and not using the Loop much. With bluetooth, the Magic Mouse works from across the room. If you wait, maybe the Loop remote mouse will drop in price by another 50%, or you'll feel hosed, as I do.
Innovative but needs more work! February 9, 2010
Mulawin (Bay Area, US of Americans)
The loop mouse pointer is innovative and pioneering when it comes to mouse pointers and media control. It has an ergonomic design when held. Easy to use: just insert the batteries, insert the adapter then abracadabra. You can control movies and click on files.
Unfortunately, after less than a month or so, it started having problems. It's getting hard to point to the correct location where the pointer should be. The adapter became loose, unable to transmit signals to and from ny computer hence a non working loop mouse. If you're not careful in handling the loop, you'll end up having carpal tunnel.
I'm looking forward to a lighter and much better loop.
 It would be great except for.... January 24, 2010

The Loop mouse works very well except for some minor quirks the most aggravating of which is the fact that you eventually mimic a contortionist when you are using it. Every time
the pointer encounters a screen edge, it re-centers, and if you carry on past the screen edge, eventually you find your self pointing the mouse back over your shoulder and around
your ear in order to move it around the screen. For a person who talks with his hands a little practice and thought must be put in to manipulating the mouse or you are going to wind up more entertaining to your audience than you wished and for reasons other than you intended. Too bad it does not have a centering button. Without a centering button, it is not worth 105 dollars. It is not as usefull as a Wii remote which requires you to point at the sensor bar, or the multifunction PS-3 controller.
Not your grandma's mouse January 18, 2010

The design is cool. For anything other than media viewing I'd like to see a key or function that represented "enter."
My motor skills aren't quite what they used to be and this device is harder to obtain precision control than a regular mouse. Also, my hand gets tired gripping the device. I think a flat slab like a Wii controller or a regular TV remote might be easier over a longer period of time.
I can watch TV on my PC from further away than a regular mouse would reach. I can operate the device from under the covers when I'm watching TV in bed.
All-in-all it's worth if for a gadget fan like me, but probably not for everyone.
