I make frequent presentations using MSPowerPoint. What a drag to keep circling like a moth around my computer to hit the arrow button to move to the next slide. Some setups have had remotes tied to the video projectors, but usually they are big clunky things with no easy way to go back to a previous slide or effect. This sweet little item fits neatly and inobtrusively in the palm of your hand. Simply pop in the little USB receiver to your lap top. My Windows XP reads and sets up the device in seconds and we're set to go. It has an easy up and down switch and uses a radio signal with a nice long reach. It also contains a useful laser pointer and a multifunction button for a few "advanced" actions if you need it.

My remote needs are simple. I want to be able to move my powerpoint presentations forward or backward one slide at a time. And I want a laser pointer to call attention to features on a slide if I choose. Voila! The Atek device does all this painlessly and well. Of course it can do a lot more, but truthfully, I'm just not interested. So I plug the little antenna stick into a USB port on my laptop and I'm ready to go. The remote fits in a pocket or I carry it in my hand or I set it on a table. When I'm ready, a touch causes the slide to do what I want from anywhere in the room. I use the laser less than I thought I would, but it has been nice to have when I've wanted it. I'm completely satisfied.

We had been looking for a presentation remote and a friend had this brand and recommended it. We bought it and used it on our recent speaking trip, and it was great! It's small and fits nicely into your hand. The buttons are in good places to do the things you need to do during a presentation. The laser pointer could be a little brighter, but that's about all that could be improved. And it even comes with a nice padded bag large enough to add in a flash drive with your presentation.

Very small and light and easy to control. Allows you to blank the screen when needed. USB installation was painless as it was plug-n-play. Great range - about 30-40 feet. Overall, a great tool.

This item is great for presentations. It is user friendly and easy to install. The mobility of the remote will allow you to deliver PowerPoint presentations with ease. The instructions are easy to understand. I wish I had this item while in graduate school. I would recommend this item to anyone interested in purchasing a presentaion remote.

The laser point of this remote is noticeable smaller and dimmer than other laser pointers I've seen. Comparing it to two laser pens that I have (one is smaller than the remote itself) confirmed this. I question how visible this laser would be for people in the back of a large room against a large, bright projection.

This unit works great. My only complaint, which is minor, is the actual slide advance wheel. It seems to work opposite of logic. But it does work well.

love it - finally a product that is mac friendly and works for powerpoints. thanks - I love it!

I received the tote-remote sooner than I was expecting. My presentation was a success!
