1.0 out of 5 stars Non-Functional Software & Software Support, February 3, 2004

This item worked for about 2 weeks, then stopped. I narrowed the problem down to the software, which is not manufactured by Interlink. I went to the Interlink and software website, finding minimal info and no software updates. I followed their instructions, repeatedly, and still I cannot get the software to work.

The remote supposedly will work without the software, as a remote mouse. It won't even do that.

The remote itself is beautiful and handles well. Nice laser pointer and good function key placement. I especially like the rubber coating.

I have used various IR and RF remotes while doing presentations. My job is training. This remote is great, but less useful than a rock, with this software.

I'm very surprised Interlink makes such great remotes, but has such poor software and support for the software.

Item would not work consistently even with new drivers downloaded from the manufacturer. Programmable keys lose their programming. Had to return the item.

3.0 out of 5 stars misses slides, January 8, 2007

I find the remote works nicely most of the time, however, it seems at the most critical moments in a presentation it fails to respond to a slide change. I use it at about 40 feet so I don't think its a range issue. After a couple of clicks it starts working again.
