3.0 out of 5 stars works great providing you have the right equipment, March 20, 2007

By	B. Dickey (PA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this is an amazing little piece of technology. I live in a college dorm that was built in 1965 with 6" thick concrete walls. this device will transmit through 2 of them without trouble. However, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EXPRESSCARD SLOT AND NOT A PCMCIA SLOT BEFORE YOU BUY THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT!!!! This piece will work with newer HP notebooks, Dell notebooks, some Toshiba & Compaq notebooks. Will not work with Sony Vaio or MacBooks. I have to charge it off of a friend's computer because I have a Viao.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great & handy BT remote!, June 12, 2007

By	C. Bulino - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Stores very easily, although 1/2 inch sticks out of the the PCI Express slot. Works great with Vista's Media Center software, with less functionality on Windows Media Player. Long lasting battery, very happy with purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but no laser pointer, January 25, 2008

By	PCS "PCS" - See all my reviews

This remote has served me well for over six months. It stores within the card slot on your laptop, though it does stick out about 1/2". It recharges off the computer's power, so you never have to replace batteries, and because it works off Bluetooth you never have to plug in a dongle to the USB port. The only two things it lacks are the ability to control the mouse, and a laser pointer. If you are highly dependent on these features, choose a different device, but if you want a remote that is always with you for controlling media and/or PowerPoint this is an excellent device.
