Summary: Great Gadget
Comment: This remote is a very well designed piece of kit, with a nice tactile rubbery underside and an ergonomic thumbrest keypad. It fits right into the palm of your hand very comfortably. The dongle that tucks away in the bottom of the handset is also very clever, ensuring it doesn't get lost or drain battery. I haven't had a chance to push the recieving range yet, but other reviewers seem to have had no problems.

Interestingly, this remote would seem to not just be for Powerpoint, or even Windows. The box lists Mac and Windows, but it also works just fine on my boyfriend's dinky Linux Eeepc. Given the varied distributions of Linux, I can't guarentee it will work with any other common distributions such as Ubuntu however. It also works happily with the free presentation software OpenOffice Impress, on my Windows Vista laptop. Gold star for compatability.

Summary: Brilliant Gadget
Comment: This gadget is brilliant. I use it in all lectures when im using ppt. Allows me to move around the class and highlight specific areas to my learners.

The wireless usb adapter fits inside the main unit cutting off the power, saving the battery.

Every lecturer should have one!

Summary: Great value, unfussy product with strong design
Comment: I am really, really pleased with this purchase:
- completely intuitive to use
- four buttons - forwards, backwards, black (and unblack) the screen with...
- laser pointer as fourth button
- fits snugly in the hand
- no software; just plug in the USB receiver and start so...
- works on any machine
- no need even to reboot the computer
- USB receiver stored inside so you can't accidentally switch it on
- cheaper than many competitors
The only down side is that it makes me feel an idiot that I didn't buy one sooner!

Summary: Brilliantly simple!
Comment: I just wanted to be able to detach myself from the laptop whilst presenting to customers and teams, and this little gadget is perfect. Nothing fancy - just forwards, backwards and fade to black (plus a pointer) - but that's all you really need. It came very quickly, worked straight out of the box on any PC I plug it into (no software discs to load) and folds into itself for storage. Wish I'd got one ages ago! Highly recommended.
