5.0 out of 5 stars Interwrite PRS Clicker, March 15, 2010

There's not much need for a review of this product. If your class requires it, you gotta have it. If you don't take that class don't buy this clicker. If you don't need it you'll have to sell it on Amazon or use it as a paper weight.
The choice of silver paint for the front of the clicker was a poor choice. After just a few uses you're probably gonna see scratches on the case. No one really cares about the scratches so no big deal when you resell it.
The 3 AAA batteries last a long time - usually over a semester. There's a time-out option you can set to really save the batteries.
The units are quite tough. I've dropped it, kicked it and no noteable damage.
If you need it, buy it. It's a great little item that will serve you well.

This product is a joke! I have clicker points during class and the thing would work half the time and not the other half! I just missed some points out of my class grade due to this. At first I thought it was the batteries so I replaced the batteries and thing wont even turn on now. I called Customer service center spoke with 7 people there for 2 freaking hours! They told me it was broke I need TO BUY A NEW ONE! I wrote the CEO of the company because I am sick of poor products and poor customer service.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Idea, June 19, 2009

I used my device in a college class that had a large student capacity. The "clicker" takes a while to load up so we would have to turn it on at the begining of class so it was ready to go at the middle or end of class for our pop quiz. There were some tech challenged students in class, which made it harder to use effectively. The large number of students (100+) caused interference occasionally so it would not always record your answer on the first try, making the timed pop quizes stressful, because you weren't sure you could get your answer in on time.

I thought the idea was interesting, I think the instructor liked it because it would keep track of the students answers, and grades. It would probably be great to use in a class that had fewer students so that you don't need to worry about interference.
