 Nice Device 4.5 Stars September 11, 2007

This is very well designed device. I bought it when I integrated our computer to our home theater center and needed a replacement for the mouse. This was perfect for this use.
I'd suggest that anyone who buys this change their computer's mouse settings. This can be done on Windows PCs (don't know about vista) by going to control panel and selecting either "Mouse" or "Printers and Other Hardware" then Mouse (depending on your version and setup). From there you have many options depending on your particular needs.
I chose to slow down the pointer speed for smoother movement. Another useful change I made was Enabling "ClickLock"; this allows you to drag without having to use both hands by holding the mouse button down for a length of time you can choose and clicking again to release.
Pros:
Does everything it says. Fully functional mouse; PowerPoint Presenter; Basic Multimedia Buttons.
The roller-ball gets smoother with use.
It has very good reception; worked through walls all around the house.
The laser drives my wife's cats crazy.
Cons:
Like others have mentioned, the volume up and down buttons seem backwards but it doesn't take long to get used to.
The only real issue I have is that the buttons don't seem to be programmable. I considered returning it for this reason alone, but none of the other presenters I looked at were as functional as this one so it stays.
I hope this helped.
Must have for presenters July 8, 2007

Very nice product, works as advertised, the left & right buttons should be have been at the bottom. The laser trigger make is feel like a gun. Setup was easy, if you read the 4 page manual.
 Wireless Multimedia Mouse June 20, 2007
Buck Dharma (Zephyrhills, FL USA)
Used this item giving some power point lectures and really liked it. Had just got new computer hooked up to large flat screen TV and the wireless mouse that came with the computer had to be used on the couch, not optimal. The Targus is a slight improvement. The thumb trackball takes some getting used to. The unit doesn't have a time-out or standby function like my other mouse, so you have to remember to turn it off. It eats batteries. The volume control is counter intuitive (Volume up is the left mouse click?) All in all, a useful item.
Great for the Lazy Web Surfer May 9, 2007

I bought this primarily so I could sit back away from my monitor, lean back in my chair, and still surf the web. To that end, it works great. The battery life is a little short, but that's a minor issue. My only suggestion is to be sure to follow the directions about linking the transmitter and receiver when you first hook it up, and again anytime you change the batteries. As long as you do that the connection is a snap. It doesn't do a lot of things, but what it does, it does really well.
Excellent all-round presentation gear February 6, 2007

I have extensively used other presenters from other reputed brands, but many of them lacked the complete functionality. This piece comes with a mouse built-in which really helps in controlling the presentation. Would highly recommend this to anyone who lives his work life doing presentations.
