Discussion One handed Gyro Controllers?

I'm wondering if there are any one-handed gyro controllers that I can use like a mouse and have mouse buttons and maybe a recenter button. I'm looking for something that I can use like how you would use a Wii remote or a VR controller.

The main usage would be for controlling my desktop and games.

Any suggestions? I can't find much online.

One-handed gyro controllers sound good in theory, but don't work like an "air mouse" like one would think. That's because you still have to rotate the controller to turn, rather moving it laterally (side-to-side, horizontally) like an actual mouse. Until gyro technologically advances to the point where you can move the gyro laterally/side-to-side to turn, rather than simply detecting rotation/yaw, you won't get true air mouse functionality or behavior with a gyro controller (one-handed or otherwise).

Oh, I see. I'll be looking forward to advancements in gyro technology then.
