Wireless PowerPoint Remote Presentation Clicker: Presenter Pointer for Classroom Teacher - USB Slide Advancer Compatible MacBook Computer

Good product, works so well with my laptop

Ordered these for teachers at our school. Perfect that they can control slides and use the laser pointer from one device!

If you give presentations using PowerPoint in situations where your laptop computer is across the room, connected to a digital projector, you need this so you don't have to be "that guy" constantly calling to an assistant, "next slide please." It is simple to use. Remove the small receiver from the rear of the pointer device, insert it in your computer's USB port, and turn it on. It has five buttons. Two that make PowerPoint slides advance forward or backward, one that plays or exits PowerPoint slide show, and one that blacks the screen until you click it again. This is useful to eliminate visual distraction during a discussion mid-presentation. The fifth button turns on a laser pointer while it is pressed. It has a terrific range, and will keep its connection across a large room, and function while aimed in most any direction. I once did a lecture with a different device that required me to aim it precisely at the laptop for it to receive the signal. Not so with this one. One thing I discovered, is that when you insert the receiver USB, it disables the laptop's mouse or track pad, so have your PowerPoint slideshow up and running beforehand.

I bought this as a back up for public speaking engagements and it works like a charm! The clicker allows me to complete a seamless presentation without "next slide" commands distracting the audience. This backup came up useful when a particular agency forgot to bring there clicker and suggested I sit an audience member by the laptop to click the slides along--not! I had my back up. Easy to use, great quality, great price. Highly recommend!

So I don't usually write reviews, but because of the issues I had with a different clicker, I must rave about this one! I am a kindergarten teacher, and being tied to a computer is impossible. I had purchased a different clicker prior to this one because I thought this one was too cheap. . . welp, I was wrong! That other clicker couldn't go more than 5 feet from my computer - NOT AT ALL helpful. This clicker can reach across my entire classroom! It is such a great deal cost-wise, and it works incredibly well!
