Targus Wireless Multi-Functional Laser Presentation Remote with Laser Clicker and Keylock Technology, Black (AMP13EU)

Our charity puts on talks in the local village halls through the winter, and also Saturday workshops in the spring. My wife did a photographic virtual tour of our valley for our charity one evening, and the digital projector started to play up, unless she stood almost in front of it, masking some of the screen, then it wouldn’t show the next slide. Besides upsetting her, the audience were disappointed as well.After months or searching and working with a specialist provider, we realised that what we needed was not available, either a radio controlled or a blue tooth controlled projector, no body makes one. So, back to the drawing board, and after much head scratching, we thought, how about if we controlled the laptop program instead.Back on the net to Amazon, and looking at what was available, decided to try this one. It arrived, well packaged, and with clear instructions for it’s use. So I connected the chip to our PC, loaded the display program, stood in the doorway and pressed the buttons. The slides changed forwards and backwards with no visible delay, and the pointer reached over thirty feet to the landing wall.So, the day came and we were ready to try it out in the church hall, only to find, we had been moved into the main church as the hall wasn’t big enough to hold all those that came. So, in a cavernous church, the opposite side of the Nave to the speakers, sat my laptop facing them so they could see what was shown on the screen to their right.4 speakers with many slides in each presentation, from over fifty feet away, using the pointer (which did reach the top of the church walls ! ), this wonderful little solution worked just as we hoped, and the speakers all commented on how well it worked and how easy to use.If, like us, you need a way to control a slide show on a laptop or similar, can plug the gadget in a USB port, then this is the best thing since sliced bread.It does exactly what it says on the tin, stored the gadget inside the cover for safety when not in use, and doesn’t break the bank. As a charity, we strongly recommend this as an alternative to much more expensive solutions.

Brilliant device.Works straight away as soon as it's plugged in, no driver set-up required, so brilliant for transporting to events so you can use the controller you are familiar with.The blank screen is super effective and very very useful.It is possible to have the show set-up in advance and just blank the projector until the talk starts.No silly messing with PowerPoint loading screens visible to the punters.Out of interest, why don't lecturers make there presentations into a self running pps file? it's in the options and is far more professional.I love the coloured LEDS which indicate status, its green for everything and Red for show functionality, which stops mispressed buttons by nervous guest speakers using the device for the first time.The USB transmitter fits inside, even with batteries installed to make it truly portable.One thing it needs is little pouch to keep the dust off etc.I got burned by a dodgy Kensington device, which was erratic in use, often failing to function mid-conference -it cost twice as much too.Should you buy this?YES

I do a lot of presentations to large groups using a projector and screen via a laptop. I wanted a wireless presenter so I didn't have to continually hop back and forth to the laptop to change the screens. I bought this on a recommendation and it works perfectly. This is one of those products that does exactly what you expect, efficiently and with no drama. It's easy to use, easy to install and quite simply just what I needed. You plug the stubby little wireless USB in your laptop or computer, the operating system automatically finds the little do-dah and off you go. Couldn't be easier!For what it does, it's extremely good value; I like the way you can fit the little wireless USB inside the case of the presenter so it can't get lost. Besides seamlessly moving the slides on, there's a red laser beam for highlighting.All in all, I can't imagine anything better and have already recommended it to loads of people. You won't be disappointed.

The online description (and the box) make reference to an area to store a backup battery. I found this strange because I could not see somewhere to do this. I went on with my life using the device assuming it was an error or I was being silly. That was until a co worker also purchased one. Hers has an extra area to store a battery which mine does not! So, my item was not as described. Almost as if they made a mark one model and mine was put in the mark two packaging. I bought it about 5 months ago before I realised so the time has now passed in which I could return it. Apart from that the device is great.

Compact 12cm (4,5")long x 4cm (1,5")wide x 2cm (3/4")thick, smart glossy black topside, grey grip-rubber underside, completely accurate product-description; unusually, this pointer includes volume-control function. 'Mouse' tracker is a miniatute 3mm high concave joystick button, that can be operated by the end of a thumb or finger...initially a bit tricky, due to it's surface being smooth. An excellent compromise between portability, styling, volumecontrol ability, red laser pointing - with the different design demands for each of these functions. Yet, on all counts, this unit performs remarkably well. Simple instuction guide included, and available on-line. Thankfully, takes one standard, inexpensive AAA cell, with a spare 'parked' alongside, as is the receiver (stored when not in use), which only protrudes 15 x 15 x 4mm out of a USB-socket, i.e. it fits easily into closely-packed adjacent laptop sockets. I'm using Amazon-basics 9 x 14 cm inexpensive small electronics carry-bag to protect this presenter; it could house two, side-by-side.
