Best remote, November 16, 2008
This review is from: PowerPointer Wizard (without RAM) Presentation Remote Control (Office Product)
This unit was purchsed to do a presentation on my X61 thinkpad ( Ubuntu Hardy )
which required full mouse control.
All functions worked flawlessly under Unbuntu. The mouse function is actually a real optical mouse turned upside down, and it see your finger moving, incredibly sensitive. If you like the sensitivity of the IBM trackpoint, you'll love this a well.
The Green laser is more visible than red units, but it's still a low power green suitable for indoor use.
The tactile feel of of the buttons is somewhat lacking, so you'll find youreself having to look at the unit and sometime us two hands ( for drag&drop ).
Major drawback is the price.

Do not buy this, October 22, 2009
This review is from: PowerPointer Wizard (without RAM) Presentation Remote Control (Office Product)
I was in love with this thing at first... Until it stopped working. You see, it has had just one drawback -- mine apparently comes featured with a button which makes the thing stop working until you turn it off, and take the receiver out of your computer and then put it back in. Needless to say, if you are giving a presentation and you are constantly turning off your powerpoint wizard and unplugging and then plugging back in your receiver, it is incredibly annoying. In other words, this product is worthless...
Also, the explanation booklet reads like it was written by a 6th grader whose native language is not English (nor Indo-European, for that matter).
For the company's part, they did not respond to an email inquiry, so don't expect much tech support either.
It could just be that my specific product was faulty/I don't know how to operate the thing properly, but nevertheless, that's been my experience with thing.
