5 out of 5 stars Handy device!   September 6, 2008
V. Hildenbrand
This works perfectly, just plug and play. We use it for powerpoint presentations from a Mac "clamshell" laptop, no problem whatsoever. This is the second one we have purchased, only because one of the little s**** at my husband's school stole the usb transmitter from the first one! Keep this baby locked up!

I use MC PRO from Testify Software for my Music Ministry and this is the only remote that will control all of the functions for uninterupted playback.


1 out of 5 stars Not for Professional Use...   March 27, 2006

I teach presentation development for a living. And I'm frugal. So, when I saw a basic product that would do what I needed, for a reasonable price, with no unnecessary bells and whistles,e.g., a laser pointer, I bought it. Big mistake.

I test everything three times in advance to avoid problems when I'm teaching -- which I did with this product. It worked fine in my small office. When I got to a small conference room filled with clients, it worked well for about 5 minutes. Then the cheap plastic construction kicked in. I'd press the advance button -- no response. I'd wait a moment, just in case the PC was processing. No response. Keep pressing. Suddenly, three bullet points (instead of one) start appearing on the screen. I took the opportunity to advertise the name of the manufacturer, followed by my "do not buy" endorsement, and then substituted a more expensive "professional" grade back-up remote, which worked fine for the remainder of the day. (After the seminar, I promptly stomped this product to pieces in the parking lot -- which accomplished nothing except to make me feel marginally better...)

If your kids need a toy to play with when using PowerPoint, go with this. Otherwise, if you're a professional and your reputation depends on things working properly, spend a few more bucks and get a reliable piece of equipment. This ain't.



4 out of 5 stars Very handy to give dynamic and professional presentations   April 16, 2004

I have used this product in about 10 presentations since I bought it. I couldn't be more satisfied.

The major difference between this remote and (most) others is that this is NOT a mouse, it is a keyboard emulation. The advantage is that you can actually go back (reverse your presentation), which is something that is very cumbersome with a mouse (right-click, then choose Previous menu option).

The most used buttons are obviously forward and reverse, but I certainly do appreciate the "Hide slide" button. The hide slide effectively blanks out the screen, which is good if you want your audience not to see your slide when they walk in the room, or for an intermission, or when you draw something on a board, etc. Unfortunately, I have experienced some minor problems with the Hide slide button in PowerPoint 2003. No problems in earlier versions.

The only downside I have experienced is some interference from computer speakers. If your computer speakers are positioned between the remote and your receiver in the USB port, you may have to click twice to actually get the signal through. (NOTE: no, this is not infrared and doesn't require line-of-sight; it is RF).

No infrared pointer on this model, but Interlink has another model that does have a pointer.

Overall, this is probably one of the most useful peripherals I have ever bought!
