Kensington Wireless Presenter Pro with Green Laser, Class 2, 150 Ft Range, Black

This little gadget is great. Works perfectly with my Macbook Pro (with Mac OS 10.6.6) and Keynote '09 (version 5.0.5). The green laser is crisp, bright, and tight. Your button options are 4-fold: previous and next slides, laser, and black screen -- simple and to-the-point. An on/off toggle switch prevents spurious button-pressing while in storage. Advancing and reversing slides is instant -- I don't see any latency. The USB transmitter stows neatly in a built-in docking cave on the main unit. Setup is totally benign -- just plug in the USB transmitter, and you are ready to go. I was a little suspicious of a more bulky controller, being used to the more conventional stick-like laser pointers -- but I now realize that the contoured controller fits nicely in the hand more naturally than the sticks of yore. All in all, this gadget is a great purchase, highly recommended for those who need to give talks often.

I replaced a similar product with the Kensington, which literally addressed all of the separate issues we were experiencing with other presentation mouse / pointer products our presenters used. The green laser is extremely visible, and the storage compartment for the USB dongle is perfectly designed. We've used the device on a half dozen of our laptops so far, and it sets up and operates perfectly every time. Perhaps most importantly, the design is clean and clutter free- just the basic controls a presenter needs. Very intuitive and easy to use. We highly recommend this product, especially for the reasonable price.

I have a couple laser pointers. I got this one since it had a green laser which is useful for longer distances, brighter rooms, and certain types of screens. This is a great little unit and I would recommend it to anyone. I still find myself comparing it to my Kensington 33374 Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer.Pros: Comes with a case, affordable, Green laser pointer.Cons: Has a separate power button rather than a "power off" function while the transmitter is inserted into the Kensington 33374 Wireless Presenter. I sometimes forget to turn this one on because I never have to worry about that with my other one. It has a power switch to save batteries because it fits very tight in it's case and will surely press the buttons while it's in the case. I know me and I will surely forget to turn it off from time to time. I always carry spare batteries for this and some other devices I use just in case.This is a great product I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I'd be 5 stars if the insertion of the transmitter turned off power like my other one.

I like the look and feel of the device. It worked great for maybe 3-4 presentations and then the laser pointer died. I replaced the batteries but the laser would not work. It still advances the slides fine though.Called Kensington customer support and a new one is on the way. Hopefully this was just an isolated bad laser pointer and the replacement will be OK and last a bit longer.

I bought the wireless presenter pro because I give a lot of powerpoint presentations in college lectures and guest presentations for various groups. First the good: It works great when it works. It has a nice hand feel to it and the transmitter fits neatly into a little compartment inside the pointer unit for storage. The functions are all you really need (forward, back, black screen) and the green laser pointer is nice and bright - much better than a red laser. It comes with a sturdy little storage case. The Bad: It is very unreliable as to whether it will work on any given computer. The USB transmitter unit is frequently not recognized by the computer and therefore the only thing that works is the laser pointer. I have tried probably 7 different computers in the last week, both macs and PCs, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If it does work on a computer, it seems to always work on that computer, so if you only use one computer, you will probably be OK. I have solved the problem by trying different USB ports on computers, by unplugging other USB peripherals that might be causing some confusion, and by making sure the powerpoint presentation is loaded before plugging in the presenter. BUT, when you are walking into a room to give a guest presentation on their setup, who has time for all that messing around? Last week, I was one of two guest presenters at a meeting. I could not get my Kensington presenter to be recognized by the computer. The next speaker walked up and plugged in her presenter exactly the same way and it worked instantly. Grrr. In short, I would not buy this presenter again and I may be returning it.
