5.0 out of 5 stars Great remote! May 14, 2009

By Corey D. Perry

Color Name:RED

Offering multiple presentations every month, I have had the opportunity (misfortune?) of handling many other remotes. This remote allows me to use it as a mouse or to advance my presentation, but with a switch on the side, I don't have to worry about doing the one while wanting the other. An example from a recent presentation with a different remote: the remote was a combined mouse/remote. During a presentation, was trying to advance to the next slide, but mistakenly thumb over the mouse control, turning on the selection screen over the slide. "No problem, I'll just scroll down to 'Next Slide'." But, wait, then mistakenly hit the button that went to the previous slide. Very frustrating and distracting.

This remote allows me, at the flick of the swith on the side, to move between the distinct functions. For someone like me (with larger hands), that is nice.

Also, I don't feel like I am holding a Chiclet! While I have larger hands and some may feel comfortable holding a remote the size of a mail stamp, I don't. This remote is not too large, even for smaller hands, but it is easy for me to feel the separate buttons without having to look at the remote.

The range is good, as well. While standing in the front of a 200+ auditorium, I had no problems advancing the presentation which was run from the laptop in the back of the room.

When I am giving presentations, now, and I am at another facility and they offer their own remote, I ask to use my own...They may look at me funny - really, who has their own remote? - but it is well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilled with my SP400 Smart-Pointer July 8, 2009

By SusieQ

Color Name:RED|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am very happy that I purchased the Smart-Pointer from Satechi. I teach both undergraduate and graduate students, and I also give presentations at state and national conferences. Rather than being chained to my laptop, I chose to purchase the Smart-Pointer so I could move around more freely to engage my audience. I have used several other remote pointers, and they were very finicky and didn't work very far from my laptop. In comparison, I have used the Smart-Pointer at distances of up to 70 feet from my laptop with no problem. The range is excellent if you like to move around.

The switch on the side of the Smart-Pointer changes the function of the buttons, so I haven't experienced any mix-ups, and the built-in laser function is great.

The seller supplied the first pair of AAA batteries in the box, so I was able to practice with the Smart-Pointer immediately. My laptop had no problem recognizing the device, and within minutes of opening the package, I was ready to go. Not that color matters in terms of functionality, but I purchased the red one to match my computer. Very nice!

The Smart-Pointer is lightweight, even with the batteries installed. It also fits my hand perfectly and slips easily into a pocket if I don't need to use it for a little while. The buttons are easy to find by touch, and I especially like the case that is included with the unit. The small zippered case measures approximately 5.5" by 4" and easily accommodates the pointer, the USB wireless connector, and 6 AAA batteries. (I believe in being prepared!)

Using a small remote that works with my laptop is much nicer than using a bulky projector remote. Because I had used other remote pointer units, I knew what I was looking for, and the Smart-Pointer has been very helpful to me. In fact, I am recommending this product to others at my university. You can buy this one with confidence.

2.0 out of 5 stars SUPER CUST. SERVICE. SEE VERY IMPORTANT REVISION October 4, 2009

By L. BRACKEEN

Color Name:RED|Amazon Verified Purchase

The remote is used for slide presentations at Church. It is much too sensitive to touch and frequently advances two slides with a single push. It is used by various people and no one has been consistently able to advance a single slide. We have totally quit using it because backing a slide up is too distracting to a large audience. No software is included or referenced on the website to decrease sensitivity.
IMPORTANT REVISION: I should have contacted Satechi before I wrote the critical review. I emailed them and received an immediate reply that the unit must be defective and they would send an replacement. The replcement was sent that afternoon and the new unit completely solved the problem, advancing the slides with a positive click like a mouse. I would now give it 5 stars if I could change the rating. Their customer service was the best I have ever experienced even enclosing a postage paid sticker for the return and sending followup email to be sure I was satisfied. I had purchased a Kensington 33374 as a replacement/spare but the Satechi is much superior with twice the range and buttons to blank the screen and change presentation modes. I am returning the Kensington and buying another Satechi as a spare.
