3.0 out of 5 stars Nice design but with a catch, June 17, 2008

I am teaching a class this summer using PowerPoint for the first time. Wanting to give a remote a try, I purchased this one as the price was good and it had just the features I would need. While I like the design and the carrying case, there have been several times that the advance key has stuck and the slides run by very fast and then I have to back track to where I was. This never happened when I used the laptop's Page Down key for my presentations and has now happened about six times in the past four weeks, so I wouldn't call it a fluke. So now I've ordered a different remote and will hopefully no longer have this problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine - one or two minor problems (beware of the case), September 16, 2009

This device works as it should. It feels comfortable in the hand. The three buttons are different sizes (which helps differentiate them) and the laser button has a raised "R" on it (I have no idea what it might stand for, but it has a distinctive feel which helps you know that your thumb is on the laser button).

My biggest complaint is that the USB receiver is rather thick. I have a Micro$oft USB mouse with a slender receiver. The receiver for the presenter "crowds" the mouse receiver, actually pushing on it (and deflecting it) a bit. That can't be good for the motherboard-mounted USB socket, but hopefully it is not enough to cause problems (I doubt it will).

It comes with a fairly sturdy hard-side vinyl carrying case with a fabric zippered closure. Maybe that's what the "And More" in the product description refers to.

WARNING about the case: If you put the pointer in "flat" (with the buttons facing up) then the case will press against the laser button if it is put under a modest amount of crush pressure (such as inside a laptop bag with a bunch of other stuff crammed in). Your laser could be activated for hours (completely unknown to you, since you can't see it because it's inside the case). This will obviously kill your battery (and this is probably the cause of battery-life complaints that other reviewers have mentioned). Store the pointer with the buttons facing sideways to avoid this problem.

The battery cover is difficult to remove. FWIW, it uses a type 23A battery (included). I was hoping it might use a more readily available AAA, but it does not. But I would rather it use a 23A (often used in cameras) than little button batteries.

It's a great value for the price - which is why I gave it a full five stars despite the shortcomings of the receiver thickness and the button-pressing case.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dead Battery, October 23, 2009

I used this product for one 20 min presentation and when I went to use it the second time, the battery was dead already. I went to replace the battery and it turns out it takes a special 23A 12V battery. I would take this into consideration when purchasing! When the battery is not dead, the pointer is great! It has easy connectivity with my computer, just plug and play, and has great range. The laser pointer button and up and down buttons are easy to use and logical while making a presentation. (I did not have any troubles with pushing the wrong buttons!)
