Customer Reviews
First off, you don't really get a feel for the size of thing from the picture or even the video. As noted in the product dimensions, it's 4.5" by 1.5", so draw that to see what it's like. It's small and very comfortable to hold, with a rubbery surface that makes it very unlikely you'll drop it even with a light grip.
I especially like that the USB dongle stores inside the unit, so the two pieces are much less likely to get separated. It comes with a nice protective zipper case, though I don't use it. I just throw the thing in my laptop bag without the case.
I use this on a Mac and it works, mostly. With a little customizing, it works completely.
The first time I plugged it in, a "Keyboard Assistant" ran since the Mac didn't recognize the "keyboard". I simply quit the assistant, and there was no problem. The forward, back, and black screen buttons work fine on both Powerpoint and Keynote. However out of the box, the "play" button works on neither. With some fiddling, I was able to get the play button to work on both.
To configure Powerpoint for the play button, go to the Keyboard system preference and pick Keyboard Shortcuts. Then hit the + key to add a shortcut. Pick Microsoft Powerpoint for the application (you may need to hit Other... to find it, since it's in a subdirectory in Applications). For Menu Title type in, exactly, "Slide Show" (without the quotes). Then in the Keyboard Shortcut, simply press the play button on the remote. That sets the shortcut to F5, which is what the remote sends with you press play. Now the play button works for Powerpoint. You can do the same for Keynote, with the menu title "Play Slideshow".
Then all the buttons on the remote work on the Mac.
The red laser is not very bright, but passable. I would have preferred a brighter green laser. The wireless range is more than good enough for any room I've been in.
Notably missing is any ability to move the mouse arrow or click. Moving forward and back is not really enough if you have movies or links in your presentation. In that case, you'll want a more capable remote.
The bottom line is that the R400 provides the minimum functionality, even on a Mac, with a really nicely designed form with a great feel. However the functions are only minimal, one of the functions doesn't work on a Mac out of the box, and in the end, it is a little overpriced. There are better choices, e.g. the Keyspan Presentation Remote Pro. Though I wish the better choices felt as good to hold as this one.
Right off the clip, the R400 has a few nice touches:
- Ships with two Duracell batteries.
- USB transmitter inserts into the presenter itself; doesn't need to be carried separately.
- Includes a nice neoprene-like case.
- No software! (this is a GOOD thing, the less clutter on my PC, the better)
Even though OS X isn't listed as compatible with this presenter, it works! Don't let the "Unknown keyboard" dialog on USB insert scare you; it works just fine.
- Laser pointer works.
- Next and previous buttons work.
- "Black screen" button works.
- "Launch slide show" button... I'm not sure what this does because all I can get it to do is to cancel the slideshow and show PowerPoint.
After using this, I'm not sure how I lived without it. Bringing to all of my presentations!
