Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Power Point presenters will love this smoothly curved remote control. Instead of having to stay near the laptop, Atek's Tote-Remote gives you up to 30 feet of roaming room. The dongle-style base uses a radio frequency to communicate with the controller, which means you don't have to worry about maintaining a clear line of sight during your presentation. The wheel built in to the side offers page up/page down functions along with cursor scrolling; a laser pointer allows you to easily highlight specific items on your agenda. The sole button provides you with instant "escape" ability. Atek includes a one-year warranty.

Product Description
No more walking to or reaching for your laptop, or calling out "Next", every time you want to change slides. The simple buttons on the wireless remote control allow you to control applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint from up to 30 feet away - and you don't have to aim the remote control or worry about line-of-sight obstructions because the Tote-Remote is RF (radio frequency) controlled rather than infrared. And because the Tote-Remote works with your own laptop, no matter where you go and what projector you use, you can always rely on your familiar and easy-to-use Tote-Remote to help you make a very fluid presentation uninterrupted by disruptive walking, reaching, or calling out to advance slides. The small size and lightweight of the Tote-Remote remote control and receiver make it very convenient for the mobile professional who does a lot of business travel.The Tote-Remote includes a laser pointer button, an F5/Esc button for entering and exiting slide shows, and a wheel button that sends "arrow up - arrow down" commands for reversing and advancing slides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy and dependable!, December 9, 2004

By	M.J.G.C. "The Californian" (CA USA) - See all my reviews

I make frequent presentations using MSPowerPoint. What a drag to keep circling like a moth around my computer to hit the arrow button to move to the next slide. Some setups have had remotes tied to the video projectors, but usually they are big clunky things with no easy way to go back to a previous slide or effect. This sweet little item fits neatly and inobtrusively in the palm of your hand. Simply pop in the little USB receiver to your lap top. My Windows XP reads and sets up the device in seconds and we're set to go. It has an easy up and down switch and uses a radio signal with a nice long reach. It also contains a useful laser pointer and a multifunction button for a few "advanced" actions if you need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Painless and perfect for me, March 20, 2006

By	B. Madigan (Anchorage, AK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My remote needs are simple. I want to be able to move my powerpoint presentations forward or backward one slide at a time. And I want a laser pointer to call attention to features on a slide if I choose. Voila! The Atek device does all this painlessly and well. Of course it can do a lot more, but truthfully, I'm just not interested. So I plug the little antenna stick into a USB port on my laptop and I'm ready to go. The remote fits in a pocket or I carry it in my hand or I set it on a table. When I'm ready, a touch causes the slide to do what I want from anywhere in the room. I use the laser less than I thought I would, but it has been nice to have when I've wanted it. I'm completely satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little device, May 30, 2007

By	R. N. Campbell (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very small and light and easy to control. Allows you to blank the screen when needed. USB installation was painless as it was plug-n-play. Great range - about 30-40 feet. Overall, a great tool.
