 VERY GOOD FOR PC March 3, 2006

I bought this remote for my Power Point Presentation and it works fine, but In a MAC some functions don't work. For that reason I give 4 stars.
Its a little complicate to move the cursor with it , but with a little practice you'll control it.
The batery is a little expensive in comparison with other type of bateries in the market.
The laser pointer its a very good extra, it helps you in the presentation not having two things in your hand , just remember to turn it off when you're done.

I've given up using this product because it is just not consistent enough. It will work well for short periods, but then I have to click the button repeatedly for a slide to move forward. Sometimes only every third click will work, which is very annoying when you are standing in front of an audience and talking about what is about to appear. This has happened in several talks, so I doubt it is anything to do with RF fields in particular environments. Obviously, the product is not designed with a high-reliability wireless protocol.Other problems are the complex method for turning on the laser pointer, the rather low brightness of the laser pointer, and the non-standard choice of battery. Some things are very nice, such as the small travel size and weight and the fact that absolutely no setup is required (one of the only true plug-and-play products I've seen). Its too bad that this was taken to market without getting all the details right.
Worked Great & Then Stopped July 15, 2003

The presentation remote worked well. It provided good control of forward and backword motion for Powerpoint presentations. The RF technology did eliminate the need for line of sight operation. I really enjoyed using the product. Then one day, at the start of a presentation, it quit working. I assumed the battery had died, no one happened to have the special battery on hand, so I put it away.Later, I tracked down another battery for the device, put it in, and nothing happened. I checked voltage levels and the battery was fresh. So, I contacted Keyspan for warranty help. And after 3 weeks have not recieved any response. Hopefully, someday, they'll respond and fix the device. Without the service problems, I'd give the device a 4. With them, it seems your choice is to purchase and hope it doesn't break.

This product works pretty well. And have used it fairly often. One thing I noticed, though: I had just been using it for a week, and the battery cover of the remote would no longer lock on. I have had to use masking tape to keep the battery cover on, lest the whole remote will not work.Oh, yes. One other thing: the remote's battery (CR2450) isn't exactly that easy to find available in stores, either. But the remote works!

... plastic, ...-feeling buttons, and a totally unergonomic design make this remote hopeless in my opinion. The biggest problem is a FAT mouse-pointer button that is stuck between the forward/reverse buttons and the TINY laser pointer button. Since the laser pointer + forward buttons are the most often used in a presentation, the presence of this FAT mouse-pointer is just an invitation to accidently bump (and reveal) the mouse pointer on-screen. Ever wonder why the simplest remotes (4 buttons, no frills) cost more? Because these are easy to use!! Don't make the mistake I did. Buy a different remote!This remote can also control Windows Media Player through a complex set of key sequences and ...-feeling wheel on the side to control volume. Yippee.
