 PowerPoints Partner April 28, 2007

I saw this item in action and ordered it the same week. It really is the best you can get for Ms PowerPoint. The usb receiver pops inside the unit for transport and this turns of the power so the laser dot is not activated and the battery is not wasted.
There are four buttons top is laser dot right is one step forward and left is one step back, the bottom fades to black and a second press restores at the same point. As this device is radio you don't even need line of sight to the computer it works every time. One of the best features is the back button, anyone who has went a slide or animation to far in PowerPoint will know how hard it is to move back but with this you can move back and forward as quick as you can press the buttons.
If you present a lot with PowerPoint you will never regret this purchase.

I'm a University lecturer, and I have long hated being confined behind a lecturn to change slides in a Powerpoint presentation by using the mouse or keyboard. I have just bought one of these remote control units, and it is quite brilliant! It is literally Plug 'n' Play (i.e. you don't have to reboot the computer with the USB receiver in to have the computer recognise it) and means you are free to wander the room as you speak, and deliver a much more interactive experience to your audience. The laser pointer is an added bonus, and the fact that the USB receiver sits inside the main unit when not in use (disabling it so that battery power isn't wasted by accidental button pressing) is a fantastic piece of design. Absolute genius!

Very easy to use for any computer and any presentation. This handy little gadget fits snuggly into the palm of the hand and gives you the ability to wander around when presenting. No more need to keep returning to wherever you've managed to stretch the mouse cable to for a click to advance a frame (that is so distracting). I bought this gadget and also bought a USB extension cable to ensure that the receiver was in clear line with the remote. No need. The receiver USB port could be tucked under a desk behind a door in the next room and each click of the button would still advance you a frame. Tiny little receiver also tucks snuggly into the handset which de-activates the handset and prevents battery waste. Easy to use buttons and absolutely no software to use. Just plug it in and you're ready to go. Added bonus with the laser pointer .... great if you have cats to play with!!!!!

I bought the remote, not actually needing it for a week or two, with next day delivery. I've seen the remotes in action, and have used one in the past and I was terribly eager to get my hands on one... The first thing I did (after tearing through the packaging like a kid on Christmas morning) was plug it in and open up an old presentation. My lord! I sat there for hours going back and forth, using the blackout function (the screen fades to black at the touch of a button, incredibly helpful if you need to move on to something else for a while, or there is a break). The design is perfect, the way the usb receiver fits into the remote and turns off the power, and so elegantly retracts back out aswell.
I bought this especially for an AGM which I am chairing, and I refuse to return to the lecturn for every click when I am on a massive stage. For those who want to give really good presentations, and want to move around more and interact more with the audience, this is great. You are never tied down to returning or standing by the laptop/computer just to carry on. The lazer is also brilliant for pointing out things in pictures or videos (yet another way to keep the audience amused).
I always buy products from Amazon according to what others say in their reviews, and to anyone reading this and thinking about buying it. Then all I can say is don't hesitate one more moment.

This little gadget, certainly lives up to all my expectations and the price is terrific. I've been looking on the high street for something similar and refused to pay the £50+ This is discreet, easy to use and the built in laser pointer is a real bonus. The added feature of battery conservation by inserting the usb key into the presenter really is great. I'd recommend it to anyone lecturing or presenting, doesn't matter how few or how many you do - don't be without one!
