Very good for the price June 3, 2008
I have owned many different pointers. I seem to lose them all. This one, for the money, is probably one of the best I have purchased. The button layout is very similar to many of the other models out there, but to me, the buttons are larger and easier to work. When I am in the middle of a presentation, I don't have to look down at the buttons as they feel different and are large enough for me to distinguish each one.
I like the fact this pointer also has a laser built in. This has been helpful on many occasions, and my previous pointers (more expensive) did not have this useful feature. The laser is bright red, and can be seen in a dimmed room at over 50 feet. Very nice.
This pointer comes with a little black bag to store the two pieces (pointer and receiver). My other pointers had a stick that would fit within the base of the pointer. I like that feature better than the bag given as part of this purches. If you don't seal the bag well, the receiver could be lost and you could end up with a laser pointer as the pointer would not work with any other receiver. They are paired via the serial numbers.
One other caveat: Make sure you flip the switch on the side to the "OFF" position when you are done presenting. I like this feature and am glad this pointer has this function. I can't tell you how many times I would try to use a pointer, only to find out the pointer had been on in my briefcase or bad, draining the battery. That won't happen here if you use the "OFF" button.
Finally, as with most other presentation pointers on the market, if your computer was built after 2001 or so, this unit will work for you. You will need a USB port (either ver. 1 or 2). The computer should automatically configure your computer once the receiver is pushed into the USB slot.
 Couldn't use it May 12, 2008
Somehow I missed the specs if they were there. It did not work on a Mac. I did get a prompt refund.
Great Work Tool!!! May 6, 2008
Worked exactly as it said. No problems with anything. Best work purchase yet! Thank you Amazon!
 Good product but weak laser, loose battery compartment, and one failure April 30, 2008
I bought one of these Powerpoint presenters in August, 2007 for use in my college chemistry classroom presentations. It works great, although the laser pointer is too weak to be seen, so I use a separate, more powerful laser pointer in my presentations.
Recently, the USB unit on my pointer failed within the 1 year warranty period, so I returned it to the manufacturer for a replacement unit. In the meantime, I purchased a second unit as a backup, should a future failure occur, as I depend on this device every day, and it has become very inconvenient to present lectures without it. The manufacturer did supply a new unit within the promised two week turnaround, so I have no issues with their service and support.
One further problem was encountered with the second unit I purchased. The battery compartment in the remote unit is too large, so that the AAA battery can flop around and lose connection. I installed a folded paper "shim" between the battery cover and the battery to prevent the battery from moving around in the compartment, and have not experienced any further problems.
 Only works for powerpoint, only sends pageUp/pageDown, not configurable April 30, 2008

This pointer works, but only for PowerPoint. I naively assumed that if you could use it to go back/forward on PowerPoint, you could also use it for a iPhoto slideshow or some other application. Not so. You can't set it up to do anything other than send pageUp/pageDown, and alt-tab.
