Customer Reviews

PPT interface: Great; Laser: so-so
The interface to PowerPoint is seamless and excellent. I especially like the "6 o'clock" button that blanks the screen (the "b" key on the keyboard--did you know that feature of PowerPoint??). There are billions of ways you can configure it, but it works great out of the box. The buttons it has are quite useful!

The laser is rather weak. If you have a white background, the audience cannot see it. The laser is well collimated, so it makes no difference if you are 1 foot from the screen or 30.

The flash memory key is a good idea on paper, but our group has only been hampered by it: Windows (by default) sees this device as an empty floppy disk, so if the numbskull that is giving the talk decides to reboot the PC, the reboot freezes until you remove the key/flashmemory/antenna. (It took me way too long to figure THAT one out).

Laser dies quickly
The control of PowerPoint is excellet except the blank screen button is often accidentally pressed during the presentation.

The laser is very weak and dies often in the middle of a presentation-rather frustrating.

I liked the flash memory initially, but found it troublesome because it takes extra time for the PC to recongnize it and a folder always pops up!

Mostly pros, but one big con
I use PowerPoint all the time, and up to now had been using a remote that works through an ifrared eye. That's OK, but I always needed to point the remote at my projector. This unit was my first of this type, and while it worked well in all respects, it had one glaring flaw that caused me to return the unit. Almost every time I depressed the button to use the red light beam pointer, it advanced or reversed my slide. NOT very professional looking! I tried holding it in various ways so as not to activate the advance/reverse mode while using the red pointer, but more often than not, it malfunctioned in this way. I'm looking for a unit with ALL separate buttons now...
