I admit that I haven't used the product much beyond initial testing. I was VERY pleased to see that it worked in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) on OpenOffice without any work on my part. This is important to me because for personal presentations I use this software and OS and it wasn't listed as supported software.

I bought this because I have had a need for one several times in the past and I will be doing more presentations in my job. Additionally, having the laser pointer built-in is a big plus and definitely worth the extra money (and yes, I have two other stand-alone laser pointers).

I found the ability to lock the device down to a few specific buttons to be helpful. I have also found the device to be rather intuitive.

Two big problems: 1) the laser pointer is VERY dim; 2) there is no mouse control (I probably could have figured this out from reading the packaging more thoroughly, but the laser pointer on/off button looks like a mouse tracker). Without a mouse control and ability to click right/left mouse buttons, the unit has extremely limited function. Combine that with the dim laser and the remote is a loser.

    Comments about Targus Laser Presentation Remote:

    I purchased this gadget as I regularly present to audiences of a variety of sizes. When using powerpoint presentations, this remote allows me to move about the room, rather than be glued to the laptop to advance the slides. My one concern is that the back cover (where the bluetooth piece is stored) can be difficult to remove, and I am concerned that it might break sooner rather than later. Other than that, I LOVE using this remote during presentations.

      Comments about Targus Laser Presentation Remote:

      The device seems ok at short ranges and for small group presentations (like PowerPoint or Keystone). But it certainly will not work at 50 ft. reliably. PowerPoint slides do not always advance with each click, so presenters are distracted playing catch-up. Not worth the money at this point.

        Comments about Targus Laser Presentation Remote:

        When I purchased this I looked at the reviews and they were great! I felt this was a good value for my business and would be exactly what I needed for training. It worked fine when I bought it, really easy to use just plug in and go.. no software needed. I really liked the fact that it was compact and the USB just slips in the base for easy storage. I use a lot of PPT and slide presentations so I really needed a pointer and slide advance feature. I had a great love affair with my new toy at first but after one month as I was placing the USB in the base it wouldn't close. I realized then that one of the tips had broken. I was able to get it closed so no worries. Then recently it began to work sporadically.. fine in the AM but only the pointer worked after lunch. I am really unhappy with this model and am looking at going a different route. It is not made very well and may not hold up for you if use it often. I'd think twice about buying this product.

        • Q:

          With my older macbook pro, this works flawlessly. With my new macbook pro, I can't move from a blank/black screen to the next slide - I must return to the previous slide and then move to the next.

          Is there something in the macbook pro that can be changed to make it work as well as the old computer?

          • A:

            This product is fully compatible with Mac OX 10.4 and higher, so your remote should be operating flawlessly. Since it works with the old Macbook Pro and not the new one the issue is with the new Macbook Pro. It'a an Apple problem and you need to contact their customer support.

            A:

            The Targus Laser Presentation Remote is not designed to replace your mouse, this is a tool to enhance your presentations with laser light and slide proceedings.
            As per the manufacture Targus at (877) 482-7487, I was advised that this laser presentation remote would not have the mouse cursor control. However, the AMP09US would. I'm sorry, this new model is not a regularly stocked item at Staples but we have a specialty team which has forged partnerships with multiple vendors to provide a wider product assortment. We can forward the information to our product specialists and see if we can locate the item through special order, please call us at 1-800-333-3330, we are always happy to help.
