Presentation Clicker

I felt compelled to write this, my first Amazon review, given that this product really does deliver on its simple aims. As other reviewers have noted, it is ergonomic and comfortable to hold, intuitive and straightforward to use, and above all simply works allowing you to focus on delivering the message of your presentation rather than the presentation itself. It implements the common USB Human Interface Device (HID) standard and hence is widely supported on most, if not all, platforms without the installation of specific drivers hence is ideal for use on company PCs whose security policy may not allow the installation of non-sanctioned 3rd party software. It works by emulating the key presses of Page Down, Page Up and B for next, previous and blank/black respectively. Perhaps less obvious is that the laser pointer button also sends an F5 key press - this is used by Powerpoint to start a presentation if still in design mode. All-in-all, if your application can be driven by these keys it can be driven by this. A useful feature not mentioned elsewhere is that the USB wireless receiver contains a discreet LED which illuminates green in response to each key press. This positive feedback confirms the working range and that the batteries are healthy. If the batteries are on their way out the LED instead illuminates red. This completely eliminates any 'I hope the batteries are going to be okay' concerns you might have prior to delivering that keynote presentation! Speaking of batteries, when you put the receiver dongle back inside the handset it automatically disconnects the power so that you can't flatten the batteries through inadvertent key presses when inside your bag. Incidentally, I note that there appears to be a version of this device without a laser pointer so make sure you're buying the right one as they look similar! All in all a high quality product - if you're looking for a decent straightforward presenter with laser pointer stop now - you've found it.

I really like this wireless usb clicker. It works well. It has worked in every device it has gone into. Plug and play. Really simple. The positives are the simple buttons- very intuitive, back, forwards etc. The usb dongle bit can be tucked inside so you don't lose it. There are a couple of niggles: It's easy to leave in the 'on' position, which I think drains the battery and it's not easy to play a video inside a presentation. But apart from that, all good.

More expensive than some other similar products but works perfectly.

This is a nifty and clever little device. It’s simple and comfortable to use. I ordered this one because it appeared identical to one that I’d borrowed from a colleague and I wanted one of my own. The design of this one is different in one respect, though - the piece you plug into the computer is no longer attachable to a keyring. Instead, once you remove it from the lid of the device, it’s completely loose. And you can imagine how easy to lose it will be. What a short-sighted change of design! At least when it’s attached to something essential like keys, you’re less likely to leave it behind or drop it into a pocket and forget about it. For this reason, I’ve given 4 stars rather than 5.

This design is great for professional trainers/presenters who want a unit that has a good solid feel to it. Fits in the hand easily. Easy to use, hold and manipulate in one hand without worrying about moving on a slide by accident. It has a strong laser for highlighting points (unlike some where the laser is so weak you might as well not use it). In my opinion this is worth the extra few quid for the quality and solid feel alone

I brought this when I started working as a trainer and this device has now become the standard in my department. All 8 trainers use the same unit. Pro - the usb receiver dongle is recognised on every PC I have tried it on. Pro - When not in use the dongle locks into the unit itself. So no risk of losing the dongle and it also disables the pointer (no accidental battery usage). Pro - The wireless signal is paired with your unit only. This has foiled my colleagues who are practical jokers and wanted to sabotage my presentation with random page turns. Pro - Simple to use with Powerpoint. Page forward, Page back and pointer. Con - This pointer can do strange things with other programs. So if you are teaching/presenting software get used to putting it down on live demo's. Though this maybe limited to our software. Pro - Battery life. I teach every week and I change the AAA batteries roughly every two months. Overall a great unit which does what you need it to do. I have had this for over two years and it is still going strong. If/When this one dies I will buy it again but I will get the one where the dongle is also flash storage.

I bought the remote, not actually needing it for a week or two, with next day delivery. I've seen the remotes in action, and have used one in the past and I was terribly eager to get my hands on one... The first thing I did (after tearing through the packaging like a kid on Christmas morning) was plug it in and open up an old presentation. My lord! I sat there for hours going back and forth, using the blackout function (the screen fades to black at the touch of a button, incredibly helpful if you need to move on to something else for a while, or there is a break). The design is perfect, the way the usb receiver fits into the remote and turns off the power, and so elegantly retracts back out aswell. I bought this especially for an AGM which I am chairing, and I refuse to return to the lecturn for every click when I am on a massive stage. For those who want to give really good presentations, and want to move around more and interact more with the audience, this is great. You are never tied down to returning or standing by the laptop/computer just to carry on. The lazer is also brilliant for pointing out things in pictures or videos (yet another way to keep the audience amused). I always buy products from Amazon according to what others say in their reviews, and to anyone reading this and thinking about buying it. Then all I can say is don't hesitate one more moment.

What did I do before I found this gadget? How long has the world had this before I found out? I am like a kid with a new toy. When I first got it I laid in my hotel bed in the dark and played with the laser bit! (I promise I do have a life, wife, kids, dog etc) This thing advances or reverses your PPT slideshow, shines a red laser pointer at your screen if required, and blanks your screen to black if you want to talk without the screen distracting anybody. Designed to simulate your mouse keys and the 'B' key on your keyboard, it works with Microsoft PowerPoint slide shows. I have not tried it with any other software. It uses a radio link via a USB stick which you plug into your computer. You don't have to disconnect your mouse if you have one. WINXP immediately recognises the stick, no additional software required. It seems to be hot pluggable, that is you can connect and disconnect this stick any time you like. When not in use the USB stick fits into a parking position inside the pointer body. When it is parked it disables the four buttons, making sure you don't accidentally flatten your batteries. The laser works independently of software but you need to have the USB stick out of its parking position. The batteries are 'normal' ones that are easy to find (AAA, same as most tv remote controls) and the pointer is not too thirsty of battery power. You get some indication of battery depletion as the radio range gets less, so you get some warning when they need changing (there are two of them to change).

Ottima transazione: ordinato sabato 06/12, mi è stato consegnato il giorno 09/12, nonostante la festività nel mezzo. Utilizzato con SO Mavericks, è stato subito riconosciuto dal macbook senza problemi come tastiera esterna (per avviarlo basta tenere premuto uno dei tre pulsanti funzione e, nonostante il computer dica di non aver riconosciuto la tastiera esterna, il telecomando funziona alla perfezione). Tre funzioni: puntatore laser, avanzamento slide, schermo nero. Bella sensazione al tatto, e molto leggero. Se non cercate anche un air mouse, lo consiglio vivamente. ottimo rapporto qualità- prezzo.

Very happy with this product

Fazit: Der Presenter hat alle meine Erwartungen erfüllt. Er bringt alle wichtigen Funktionen mit, arbeitet (seit einem Jahr) absolut zuverlässig und ist klein und unauffällig. Vorteile in Kürze: + klein (10x4.5cm), leicht (ca. 85g), unauffällig + Sehr gute Reichweite (geschätzte sichere 10m, je nach Raum auch bis zu 20m) + Absolut zuverlässige Signalübertragung + Austauschbare AAA-Akkus nutzbar + Alle wichtigen Funktionen + Leuchtstarker Laiserpointer + USB-Stecker ist im Gerät versenkt (dieses ist dann deaktiviert) Der kleine (10x4.5cm) und leichte Presenter liegt gut in der Hand. Er ist unauffällig (schwarz) und bietet alle wichtigen Funktionen. Die Reichweite ist sehr gut (geschätzt sichere 10m) und funktioniert auch bei störenden elektr. Geräten. Es kam bei mir mit diesem Gerät noch nie zu Aussetzern oder "Foliensprüngen". Zum Betrieb sind zwei AAA-Batterien/-Akkus zu verwenden, welche lange zu halten scheinen (nicht systematisch gemessen). Im beruflichen Kontext habe ich aber sowieso immer Ersatzakkus dabei. Der Presenter hat die nötigen Funktionen wie Folien vor/zurück, Folien starten, Bildschirm schwarz, Laserpointer (rot, starke Leuchtkraft) - wobei die "Folien starten" Funktion auf der Taste des Laserpointers liegt. Der USB-Stecker schaut ca. 3.5cm aus der USB-Buchse heraus und ist kaum breiter/höher als diese (also keine Probleme bei dicht beieinander liegenden USB-Buchsen).

Un petit bijou très utile pour tout présentateur devant un public ! Il fait même défiler les solides . Top achat .
