I present to large groups all the time and have had remotes like this one for a long time. This one disappointed me for two reasons, one of which may just be an individual glitch. First, it was bigger than I thought it would be. I'm 6'4", and it was pretty big in my hand. I preferred smaller ones that practically disappear in my hand. Its shape didn't help... just felt bulkier than I thought it would. Second, it had an annoying habit of advancing or reversing slides when I used the laser button, which is between the two slide controls. It was so delicately sensitive I couldn't get it to just laser point unless I was exceptionally careful, which defeats the purpose.

I have had other interlink products, and had thought this would be my latest upgrade. I'm trying something different this time - but it will be from interlink, and I will try to get my money back.

The RemotePoint Global Presenter makes driving a slide show easy. When the device is in my hand, it performs without my having to think about it, allowing me to focus on my audience and what they need to hear and see next. Anyone who's used a joystick mouse on a laptop knows what a dream it is to use once you're used to it. The laser pointer and slide controls are goof proof. My biggest issues with it came when I wasn't using it. Once I slipped it into a pocket during a presentation, and quickly learned not to do that; a little jiggle or bump and the slides would move! I set it down now. And since there's not an on/off switch, I've taken to removing a battery when I'm done so as not to deplete the battery from jiggling around in my travel bag. That said, the unit comes in a cleverly-designed padded case that includes an interior pocket to hold the USB antenna (and that battery!). I'm glad I own it.

I have experience with a number of presenters, including ones from Logitech and SMK-Link. Though they may be smaller and cheaper, this presenter remote provides superior functions that make it worth the money.

First: The laser on this remote is extremely bright. It easily will reach across a basketball court (or 2 football fields in the dark.)

Second: The mouse eraser head in the center, though slower than a regular mouse, is extremely helpful when using links within presentations. No longer do you have to walk to the computer to click on a link. (If the mouse is too slow for you, increase the speed of your mouse motion within the control panel)

Third: The control doesn't feel like it will snap in your hands. As a guy, I often felt like the little remotes were too small to operate effectively. I would often push multiple buttons at once. The large face control, as well as the trigger right click button prevent that. I can navigate my presentations with ease, never looking down to see where buttons are.

However, there are a few negative aspects:

First: The receiver does not plug into the body of the remote for storage. Though the remote comes with a cover that holds it, I often am worried about losing the receiver.

Second: On older computers, it can take longer (more than 15 sec.) to upload the drivers, as the remote is seen as both a mouse and a keyboard.

Third: No permanent off button. I suggest taking the batteries out when you transport it... You can accidentally click buttons even when it is in its soft case, using up valuable battery charge.

Summary: If you are looking for an upper-end remote, then this is definitely one worth considering.

This is a great tool for presentation and includes averything a person needs for a power point. The main problem with it is that it is not easy to use if you have a movie in the powerpoint making it run with this was not possible for me. Also the mouse in it is very slow and not sensetive enough.

Outstanding product. Works well. Great components. High quality material. Have not used it in an actual presentation yet but I used this model before which is why I purchased it.

Advances powerpoint; reverses powerpoint. The only problem is moving the mouse. IT DOES NOT WORK. It goes so slow you could sing a tune before the cursor got to the place you want it, and then it jiggles when you try to click on it and you get to work the joystick again... AND it takes forever. If you don't have to move the cursor, this is a great tool. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

We have used this remote with our projectors and find it convenient and easy to operate. Very pleased with product.

I purchased the SMK-Link VP4350 RemotePoint Global Presenter for use in a large room. Our stage and pulpit are about 100 feet from the image mag computer. we have not yet installed a presentation workstation on the stage and needed a way to allow a presenter to control their own presentation. After considerable research and trying several products I purchased this product. It is outstanding. It has great functionality and the laser pointer is very bright even at 100 feet (I have tried it from the video booth).

It uses radio frequency as opposed to Blue Tooth or infrared I suspect this is why it has such an outstanding range.

If you need a presentation controller that will work in rooms from small to LARGE, then you have found the device you need.

I have not been able to get this to work with Windows 7 (it worked fine for me with Vista). I have had no problems with the older 4150 model (no joystick) working with Windows 7. Any ideas out there?

Remote is easy to use. The laser pointer is powerful, unlike other remotes I have used. I would purchase it again in a minute, no regrets. You are able to use this remote as a remote clicker which is a bonus, though it is slow. There is a neat function to shut screen off during your presentation, though I have accidentally done it, so be careful; just touch it again and it comes right back on, no big deal.
