 Just what I was looking for September 30, 2008
Jennifer S. Wilson (Atlanta, GA)
I just started TA-ing a statistics class this year and needed a laser pointer to direct students' attention to different parts of my presentations. But I also happened to want a wireless mouse. This product is perfect for my purposes... It has lots of function buttons, and the wireless USB key is plug-and-play so I can use it in any computer on campus. I've also found that the wireless has a large range--I can get pretty far away from the computer (walking around the room while giving a lecture), and still control my presentation w/o any problems. Plus this mouse is really affordable compared with what you can buy at Best Buy etc.
A great buy for a multi-function mouse September 24, 2008

I am pleased to say that for the price this is one of the best mouse's on the market. For those of you who are thinking that you don't have bluetooth on your computer worry not. This mouse comes with a bluetooth adapter. Whats better? You can use this same adapter to hook up other devices such as cellphones, mp3 players, and even connect to other computers wirelessly! There are some bluetooth receivers that sell for almost the same price as this mouse!!! Another great feature is that this mouse pairs as a presenter mouse. It has a laser pointer, buttons on the bottom so that you can click through slides, and it has a feature to write on the slides during the powerpoint presentation. Another great added feature is that this thing also pairs as a remote control for windows media and since it runs off bluetooth you can be almost 45ft. away and still use the wireless features!!! And i shouldn't forget to mention that this thing comes with a HARD-polycarbonate carrying case so that it doenst get damaged in your laptop bag. I havent been able to test out to battery life yet but it runs off of 2 AA batteries. And the only downsides i see of this mouse is that the bluetooth adapter is a little big so some people might want one of those "nano" style adapter. The only other thing that might concern some people is that it is not a Very small mouse or a Big mouse. It is in between and i know there are some people out there who prefer one or the other. But if you needa mouse that has a lot of features at a resonable price look no further. I bought this off Amazon for about $36 with free shipping.
I Love My Mouse! September 20, 2008
Dennis Desimone
I recently purchased a new notebook and a PowerPoint projector for use at the seminars I lead all across the country. I can't stand in front of a group of professional people and have equipment that is not reliable. This product delivers everything it promises. I love using it with my notebook as a regular mouse (plus it has additional features such as the ability to scroll sideways which is great for working with spreadsheets for instance). When I am presenting I simply press a button on top and it changes over to "presentation mode" - yes, it is that simple. In presentation mode you also have a laser pointer built in, can change to a "black" screen and, of course, easily move forward or backward and it does have a 30 foot range so I'm not tied to the presentation equipment. I have over twenty years of professional presentation experience and can strongly recommend this excellently built product.
 Good mouse, needs some work... September 17, 2008
Jens Trauntvein (Logan, UT USA)
Overall I am satisfied with my purchase of this product, however I also have some concerns that I'm sure Microsoft will cover in their next model...
First of all, the mouse needs to emulate keyboard shortcuts with the presentation buttons, instead of using "Microsoft Specific" commands for their software (Office 2003, 2007, and their Powerpoint Viewers). For those who want to use this product with OpenOffice, or StarOffice, it will not work unless software is released to "patch" to these programs.
Second, I find that some of the ports on my computer have problems running the Bluetooth Receiver. It could be my computer, but on some of the ports, the mouse becomes unresponsive.
Third, Some of the buttons on the mouse are awkwardly placed. I think that even if they made the mouse a little bit bigger to make them fit better it would improve my overall thoughts about this mouse.
If you looking to use it for Microsoft software, this will work for you. Though I would personally wait for future models.
 buy at your own risk! nice idea but faulty ergonomics September 9, 2008
Perfecto Sifuentes (Singapore)
I see now that the price of this thing has gone down dramatically. There are certainly good reasons for that! Let me tell you what i've learn from three month of trying to use this presenter/mouse.
I do a lot of presentations all over the world. I keep trying presenters or "clickers" because they make a big difference to my ability to exercise more control on the presenation.
I paid handsomely when this first came out as the combination of a bluetooth mouse and a presenter was really tempting. As a mouse it turned out ok. Even though it is compact, most of the controls, especially the wheel and the main click buttons are comfortable (not the little ones though). The mouse is quite precise. The laser is quite powerful as it is driven by two AAA batteries rather than a smaller clock type battery.
However as a presentation tool it turned out to be a disaster for me. I have run into several problems that in front of a large audience could completely ruin the presentation. Push the wrong button, the presenter switches to mouse, and before you know it slides start jumping, video clips are launched before intended, and so on.
How this might happen? While doing a presentation with this item one can inadvertently switch mode of the device from presenter to mouse. Mouse controls are at the top of the device and the presenter's at the opposite side. One can switch modes back and forth using a toggle button on the mouse side which is facing downwards (palm of the hand) when the device is used as a presenter.
Because of the location of that control you might press accidentaly that button with the palm of your hand when holding it in your hand. When that happens everything goes haywire because the mouse buttons activate instead of the presenter buttons and take control of the computer. I will let you imagine in just how many different ways things could go wrong in your own presentation in a situation like this. Likewise, one can inadvertently open the battery cover while holding the device as a presenter because the release button can also be pushed accidentally.
Both things happened to me and to other high level executives while we were making high stake presentations, causing a bit of panic. We rapidly switched back to our tried and true clickers as we could not tame this presenter.
Yes, things can go wrong with any clicker. However I think that the design of this particular one puts it in a class of its own to cause confusion.
So buy at your own risk! nice idea but confusing to use.
