Fantastic powerpoint remote control. No software is necessary for windows use. Just plus the dongle into a USB port and go to slide show mode in powerpoint. The right and left buttons advance or back up the slides. The bottom button blanks the screen and the top button is a red laser pointer. Fits in the palm of your hand and couldn't be simpler. Uses two included AAA batteries and is very reliable. Build quality is excellent
I had a navigator remote (almost identical shape and design) for many years. I always had to remove the batteries when I travelled so they wouldn't run down. When my navigator broke I bought this. It is wonderful. Much cheaper than a navigator and basically the same operation as my old navigator but with critical differences:
> small USB dongle fits INTO the remote when not in use. BY inserting in the remote it kills the batteries so you NEVER have to remove the batteries. To remove dongle from remote just press on it and it pops out. then you insert it into the laptop. Windows 7 home premium 64 bit recognized it immediately but I suspect it would work with any windows version (old or new). I used to have to carry a bag for the remote, the dongle, and the two batteries. Now I just carry the remote since the other parts are inside of it.
>USB dongle is half the length of the navigator version with makes it easier to use when space is at a premium
>Buttons are much smaller. Initially I thought this was bad as I was used to very large buttons, but I quickly retrained myself and now I see a big advantage. My navigator broke because the buttons got smashed in my suitcase. I suspect that will not happen with these buttons. Though they are small they are far apart so even someone with weak or frail hands should have no trouble with this.
