Customer Reviews
I tried this out for a course I gave this summer. Works great. There is a stiffness to the buttons, and a silent "click" feel that occurs when you press the buttons. I found this to be an advantage over other "slushy" buttons where it was difficult to know if you clicked the button.
Love the AAA battery. Seems to last quite a while. I was really sick and tired of having to hunt around for CR2032 or similar flat batteries.
I was a little wary about the laser pointer. On previous presentation devices, the laser button always seems to get pressed while the device is in your pocket or briefcase. Then, to my dismay, I discover the battery is dead.
That is not a problem here. The buttons are stiff enough to resist inadvertent pressing.
All in all, this is a great little presentation pen. It is designed to move forward or backward through a set of slides. It doesn't have the useless "mouse pointer" crud that other devices have (which always work poorly).
This pointer was easy to set up in both Windows and in Linux. Having the receiver stored in the top of the pen was a smart idea. Twice I started to put the pen in my pocket and leave, only to then realize that I had forgotten to unplug the receiver and put it back in the pen top. If you forget to replace the receiver, it won't "feel" right as you place the pen in your pocket. Your immediate response will be to look down at your pocket, where you will see an empty hole in the top of your pen and realize you have forgotten the receiver.
UPDATE: 2 years later.
The USB dongle finally wore out and no longer makes a good connection. Not complaining, though. I have used this device well over a thousand times with a variety of computers, operating systems, and USB ports. I managed to get around 3-4 months of use out of each battery, although I seldom use the laser pointer function which probably helped a lot. I just ordered another, which is as good an endorsement as any.
If you just need an inexpensive slide advancer for the classroom, this one is a good one. The size is nice (not easily lost) only has 3 buttons (laser, forward and back) and the usb remote turns on instantly when plugged in and can be stored nicely in the clicker. I recommend it highly.
