Kensington Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer - PC - 60 ft - Presentation Remote - 33374 - Conveniently portable and easy-to-use!

This device has great performance and design. It worked well within 60 feet with no problems. We are a church and the computer is hidden in the back behind about ten pews. I was suprised that it worked so well.

This device is extremely easy to use and absolutely exceeds my expectations. All I did was plug it into the USB port and I was able to walk and present from anywhere in the room and manage my presentation easily and accurately. I have tried (and returned) several other products because there was always something that just didn't work as advertised. That is not the case with this device. It works !!!

It does what it's designed to do. Great for Power Point. It doesn't have a timer and it's not meant to be a wireless mouse. Works well. No complaints.

This is a great product. With the discount at the time, I paid under $40 which was well worth it. Anyone that does a lot of PowerPoint presentations will find it to be a nice treat to not have to be teathered to your notebook.

I'm very happy. Just plug it in and it works, whether on a Mac or a PC, running Windows, Solaris, or Linux, using Star Office, Open Office, PowerPoint, or Adobe Reader in Full-screen mode. The "blank screen" button won't cause Adobe Reader to blank its screen, but that's just a limitation of Adobe Reader--not this product. It's a little large in my travel bag, but it feels "right" in the hand. I recommend this product without reservation.

Purchased the product to use with training presentations. Previously used to hit the N key or B key to advance slides. This wireless presenter made the presentation go much more smoothly. Also easy to go backwards. A couple of minutes to learn to use & I was off & running. Highly recommended.

It's a nice little gadget, but not flawless. I bought it after reading glowing reviews, and for the first couple of weeks it performed great. But then it started acting up, failing to respond to some of the functions some of the time. And it somehow blocked one of the computers from recognizing my flash memory stick (thoughts, anyone??), which can be a real problem! But it IS sweet to hold and very intuitive to operate, when it works. The "docking" of the USB remote transmitter is smart. I think that it's money well spent even if you use it just as a laser pointer (which hasn't failed).

It's awesome and so easy to use. Gives you complete freedom to move around the room. Small and self-contained, the device is turned off automatically when the USB insert is placed back in the controller.

This is the second Kensington Wireless Presenter that I purchased thru Buy.com The first one was great but it went missing when I lost my computer case. So when I decided to replace it there was no question about what I wanted. This product is simple to use without having to look down at the buttons. Hold the presenter in your hand behind your back, walk around the room so you can get close to your audience (it has a great range) and change the slides seamlessly with your lecture. The built-in laser pointer comes in handy, and you don't have to balance two pieces of technology in your hands. My advice: buy this from Buy.com. This company is a pleasure to deal with. I have always had my orders delivered accurately, quickly, and in good condition. Unless you are desperately in a hurry, just get the standard shipping (especially if it is free). It will get to you fast.

I have made a lot of PowerPoint presentations and have always had to keet my laptop within reach to change slides or had someone do it at my command. This product is really cool and works as advertised. I recently made a presentation where I was able to walk around the room and talk freely with the audience. And, the fact that it also has a laser pointer, what else would you need? I heartily recommend this product to anyone who gives live presentations without any fuss.

Product work as advertised. Simply plug in USB receiver, get into Power Point and start using. Very simple to operate. Forward and back, blank screen and laser pointer all worked well. Very impressed with range and angle. Worked in front or behind computer. Did not have to aim remote. Could hold at my side and still worked.

I received my own one of these for Christmas after seeing a professor use hers in class all the time. As a teacher, I thought "how cool would that be to have in my own classes?" Well, I use it all the time. It is so easy to install, just plug and play (I have a Mac). The laser pointer is excellent for pointing out important vocabulary words to my students. I can walk around the room and still advanced the slides. I am no longer tied to the presentation station at the front. Gert one. This thing is an awesome piece of technology!

Very nice, compact and works great. The USB dongle fits inside of the controller making it easy to travel with. I would definately recommend.

This is a great product. My biggest gripe really has nothing to do with this specific product but with the fact that these presenters in general are RF and I don't know why there aren't bluetooth versions of these things available since my laptop (and most everyone elses') has Bluetooth built-in. I would prefer not to have to keep track of a USB receiver dongle. That said, in this case the USB receiver is deftly tucked into the back and completely secure when not in use, and also serves as the on/off switch. Nice engineering touch there. Overall, it is *VERY* simple and easy to use. Unobtrustive in your hand when you're in the middle of a presentation, and easily the best presenter I've used. I like to keep things simple when I'm standing in front of 300 people. Too many buttons and options leads to problems, and will inevitably lead to your rhythm being interrupted in order to deal with your technology. This presenter has four buttons: 1. laser pointer, 2. forward slide, 3. backward slide, 4. "hide"/off. You never have to look at the thing to figure out what you're doing. Very tactile and intuitive. When I plugged the receiver dongle into my Windows XP and Vista PC's, it worked instantly and with *zero* need for configuration. When I plugged the receiver into my Mac PowerBook (OS 10.4) it thought the presenter was a keyboard. I never did find any support options on the Kensington web site for that issue. On my Mac I just continued through the "keyboard" dialogues and assigned it as a generic English/American keyboard (my only option) and now it works just fine, not a single issue. Just very confusing at first to set up since it is a serious leap of logic to think of the presenter as a keyboard. If you like simple, easy, and small with no clutter or confusion, then this product is for you. It is smaller than it looks in the images on this web site and it fits very nicely in your hand. The bottom is rubberized so it grips well and won't slip out of your hand (important when you're giving one of those presentations that induces sweaty palms). A great buy.

I give frequent presentations and I am always tied to my laptop. I had a presentation to give the day after I received it. Without trying it out, I plugged it into my Powerbook a few seconds prior to my presentation and just started using it, it controlled my Keynote slides out of the box and gave me a good laser pointer to boot (something I am always misplacing)

It works exactly as it is supposed to. The USB device plugs into the computer and you then change or blank-out slides. There is no loading of a device needed. The changer is rubberized and feels comfortable in the hand. The laser pointer works well. Anyone who uses PowerPoint should have this, especially at this price. It also arrived from Buy.com a day or two after I ordered it with regular shipping!

I have been a corporate trainer for over twenty years. This is the best remote for digital projectors I have ever used. Last week I taught a class with a co-trainer from London who is a bit of a "technophobe". She was so impressed with the simplicity and performance of the Kensington Presenter that she insisted I buy one for her. This little gadget works from any place in the room and you don't have to keep aiming at your computer or projector. It has a forward and reverse, it 'mutes' the screen, and, although I don't use the laser pointer all that often, I'm sure it will come in handy now that I have one. If you do any presentations using a computer, get one of these. It' great.

Very responsive from any distance up to rate 60 feet. easy to handle and the transmitter fits snugly inside the base when not in use.

The Kensington Wireless Presenter worked right out of the package - no setup, no problems. The rubberized grip feels good and it is easy to hold and use. Got it when it was on sale so the price was great (bought two... should have bought more!) But still worth the 'regular' price.
