5.0 out of 5 stars Now works great on Mac OS X, March 23, 2010

There is much to really like about the presenter. The distance from which it works, feels good in hand, extra battery holder...but one major negative is on a mac I can't start a ppt. show using the start show button. The button will end the show but not start it. So if you do a practice run through your slides and get to the end of the show, you need to walk back to the computer to start the show. No big deal if computer is close by but a hassle if it is on the other side of the auditorium. I have tried it on OS X 10.6 and an old powerbook running 10.4. Same result. The button works fine on windows PCs. Other than this it works great. If anyone knows a fix to this problem...please post a comment.

****Update**** User error on my part.
If you open the back cover just above the battery there is a little sliding switch. It is very small so can be overlooked.

It let's you choose from 3 options:
1) PC
2) Mac KN - this is Keynote
3) Mac... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Targus Laser Presentation Remote, March 3, 2010

This review is from: Targus 2.4 GHz Wireless Laser Presentation Remote with KeyLock, Range up to 50 Feet AMP13US (Black with Gray) (Office Product)
I work in a large university and often teach in a large classroom with 150+ students. I like to walk around as I speak to engage the students, and I'm often 50+ feet away from my netbook. This remote works very well with a quick response time. The small size is easy to hold and it fits into my netbook case. The receiver stores inside the battery compartment and is very small, extending about an inch from the USB port. It also has a lighted dial which is useful in a dark room, though I haven't had a need for it, but it does look nice. I would highly recommend this unit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as easy to use as the older trackball AMP01, October 11, 2010
This review is from: Targus 2.4 GHz Wireless Laser Presentation Remote with KeyLock, Range up to 50 Feet AMP13US (Black with Gray) (Office Product)
This product does not provide cursor control while in presentation mode. So you cannot move the cursor someplace on the slide during a presentation. While there may not be too much use for that - if you are used to this capability from the older TARGUS AMP01 product you may be disappointed at the loss of this functionality. Of course, in presentation mode you can use the laser to highlight.

There is a slide switch to go between mouse mode and presentation mode - but it is difficult to operate with one hand. Again, the mode button on the older AMP01 is much easier to use. So with this product switching to mouse mode to bring up the Powerpoint menu is cumbersome at best. I use a SMART Notebook overlay software which also benefits from mouse control during the presentation. So if you need to switch back and forth between presentation mode and cursor/mouse control often this may not be for you.

The laser is good. The storage of the receiver and a spare battery... Read more
