Summary: High School Teacher Thinks it is great
Comment: The product goes back and forth through ppt screens, that is all I needed it for. The laser is helpful too.

Summary: Clicker
Comment: The buttons make a very loud clicking sound when pressed, quite distracting. Laser is weak. It does move the presentation foward and backward.Spend a few more dollars and get a better presenter.

Summary: Works great OOTB with Ubuntu Linux
Comment: No, it's not broken, and the battery is not dead. You just have to find and flip the hidden on/off switch on the side.

It's working great with Ubuntu Linux, and apparently just operates as a mini USB RF keyboard. Just plug it in and voila! Unfortunately, the USB connector is too wide, and you might end up overlapping and losing one of your existing neighbor ports. Or you could just use an extension USB cable or a hub.

Open Office's Impress (and anything else that uses a keyboard; you can probably find interesting other uses like volume control/mute) simply works as expected, responding to 'page-up', 'page-down', and 'alt-esc' (window cycling). There's also the mysterious 'page-blank' button that works well, but I'm not even sure the key sequence to achieve that from my standard keyboard. Cool!

The laser is a nice fine beam, red.

The remote is small enough that your audience wouldn't even know you're holding it.

It comes with a silly huge bag that I'll probably throw away.

Overall I'm very pleased. In summary: small, easy to use, intuitive layout, works OOTB with Linux, can have multiple applications, nice laser, and CHEAP!

If you've listened to Guy Kawasaki (the one and only build feature you must use is "one-bullet-at-a-time") or David Rose (you have to use a remote) you'll understand the importance of having a remote. Can't go wrong with this one.

Now to see how it does with the new Impress add-on for multi screen/page presenter mode, Sun Presenter Console.

Summary: Targus Presenter Mouse
Comment: The Targus presenter which I purchased works just fine. I would suggest however, that the manufacturer STRESS in their instructions, that if you have a wireless mouse, you must disconnect that before using the product.

Summary: Exactly what I wanted
Comment: This was exactly what I wanted, it shows up to your computer as simply a USB keyboard so it works on all operating systems, including Linux, right out of the box. The buttons on the device are actually just page up, page down, b, and alt-tab keys, so it works fine in any program where those keys are useful (including OpenOffice Impress and Okular). It's very light weight and even came with a little travel pouch thingy.
