Works great - Some tips for use
Plug it in and go. Used weekly with Windows XP for four months so far no problems. Range is at least 30 feet, very reliable. Note that a slide switch on the side turns it off to conserve the battery.
How it works: it talks to the computer as if it's a keyboard. But the only keystrokes it can send are: PageUp (the left button), PageDown (the right button), B (the bottom button), and Alt+Esc (the top button). (The red middle button is the laser pointer.)
The bottom butto...

Does just what it says it will do
I'm a Community College instructor and have found this to be an invaluable tool. The newer projection system we use doesn't allow remote advancement of slides. This inexpensive tool does just what it says and works perectly and without fail. It was as easy to install as a flash drive. I'm now able to interact with my classes instead of being held hostage behind the lecturn in order to advance slides. I also really like the darken feature and use it anytime I think a class is copying p...

Works very well, burns batteries
If you want a simple, straightforward presenter to click through Powerpoint slides, this one works very well. I bought it at Staples after my old presenter died. Installation is very simple, completely plug and play, and it worked right away. Buttons for advancing slides, for going backward, blanking screen, for the laser pointer, and another I haven't used so I can't remember what it is for. I have not tried to use it for anything besides Powerpoint, on a Windows XP laptop. I use it for large...

If only it would always turn on
Once I got this device to turn on, it worked really well. Range was great, the laser is bright enough. It's easy to get to the batteries. The control buttons are intuitive enough that I never have to look at the presenter to know what I'm doing. Although if you try to do two things at once with your presentation hand, you can easily hit a wrong button.
The main problem is getting the device to turn on. I struggled twice for over 10 minutes not knowing if it would ever activate. When it did ...

Wireless Controller for PowerPoint
I have found this item very useful in wirelessly changing the slides for PowerPoint presentations. The laser pointer works without any problem. For the price, it cannot be beat. Other more expensive solutions have many more bells and whistles but for just pointing and changing slides, this is all I need.

Easy to use and reliable
The laser is not as bright as I would like and the onoff switch is small and somewhat difficult to operate. Otherwise this is a good value and sure beats reaching to the laptop to change screens.

Works well... but flimsy construction.
I purchased this device primarily to replace a different wireless presentation remote with very limited range. I must agree with the other reviewers in that the Targus Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer works well enough as a wireless remote, and a laser pointer. The range is at least as good as advertised.
What no one else has mentioned however, is the very flimsy plastic casing used on both the remote itself and the usb receiver dongle. I could easily crush the remote with my fing...

Linux compatible
I'm sure it works like a charm under Windows. I only use Linux, and it worked right out of the package. It advertises itself as a USB keyboard. If your kernel supports that, you're all set. Just plug it in, and click away!
Very comfortably sized. Fits perfectly in the hand (at least in mine :) The carrying bag could use a better clasp, but that's not terribly important, really.

Very handy item
Great item for presenters. Installation worked well with my laptop, just plug and play. Nice size in my hand and slide advance controls work very well.
The only downside is there is a small on/off button that is on the side of the unit. Its very hard to miss and if you dont notice it and turn it on you may think your unit is not working. I would have given it 5 stars but the silly instructions didn't point this little on/off switch to me so it gets 4 stars. Highly recommended th...
