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:

            Purchased it about a month ago. Practiced with it immediately, but only used it in a presentation this last week. I used it constantly to advance Power Point lessons during a four-hour seminar. It worked well and served my needs well. I like the way it turns itself off after being inactive for a while. That helps reserve the batteries and prevents finding it dead when you come back to it. It is light weight and handy. Buttons are conveniently used. In addition, I like the way the little USB connection fits into the mouse so that it is easy to keep up with. The laser pointer worked well, too.

            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.

              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?

                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.
