Kensington Wireless USB Presentation Clicker, Red Laser Pointer (33374EU)

I felt compelled to write this, my first Amazon review, given that this product really does deliver on its simple aims. As other reviewers have noted, it is ergonomic and comfortable to hold, intuitive and straightforward to use, and above all simply works allowing you to focus on delivering the message of your presentation rather than the presentation itself. It implements the common USB Human Interface Device (HID) standard and hence is widely supported on most, if not all, platforms without the installation of specific drivers hence is ideal for use on company PCs whose security policy may not allow the installation of non-sanctioned 3rd party software. It works by emulating the key presses of Page Down, Page Up and B for next, previous and blank/black respectively. Perhaps less obvious is that the laser pointer button also sends an F5 key press - this is used by Powerpoint to start a presentation if still in design mode. All-in-all, if your application can be driven by these keys it can be driven by this. A useful feature not mentioned elsewhere is that the USB wireless receiver contains a discreet LED which illuminates green in response to each key press. This positive feedback confirms the working range and that the batteries are healthy. If the batteries are on their way out the LED instead illuminates red. This completely eliminates any 'I hope the batteries are going to be okay' concerns you might have prior to delivering that keynote presentation! Speaking of batteries, when you put the receiver dongle back inside the handset it automatically disconnects the power so that you can't flatten the batteries through inadvertent key presses when inside your bag. Incidentally, I note that there appears to be a version of this device without a laser pointer so make sure you're buying the right one as they look similar! All in all a high quality product - if you're looking for a decent straightforward presenter with laser pointer stop now - you've found it.

These use to be expensive items but are now cheap enough to buy your own. The advantage is you can then use it on any system, confident you will press the right button at the right time. It also helps when practicing presentations on your own computer/ laptop (which I do a lot). It's simple to use and the receiver plugs into any USB port, firing up without any problems. The receiver bit also slots away into the end of the pointer for safe, neat storage and it also seems to turn the pointer off, avoiding the risk of running the battery down when not in use. It does'nt come with any instructions, but in reality these are not needed. Controls are basic and simple. The laser pointer is the top button, which feels intuitive to me. Forward, back and the bottom button to blank the screen untill you start, all I ever need for Power point presentations. I have also used this successfully for photo shows and it works just as well mirroring the forward and back buttons on my laptop. I like it - great little gadget, well worth the money, everybody should have one.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase; it set up go well and worked just as advertised.

This is a nifty and clever little device. It’s simple and comfortable to use. I ordered this one because it appeared identical to one that I’d borrowed from a colleague and I wanted one of my own. The design of this one is different in one respect, though - the piece you plug into the computer is no longer attachable to a keyring. Instead, once you remove it from the lid of the device, it’s completely loose. And you can imagine how easy to lose it will be. What a short-sighted change of design! At least when it’s attached to something essential like keys, you’re less likely to leave it behind or drop it into a pocket and forget about it. For this reason, I’ve given 4 stars rather than 5.

I really like this wireless usb clicker. It works well. It has worked in every device it has gone into. Plug and play. Really simple. The positives are the simple buttons- very intuitive, back, forwards etc. The usb dongle bit can be tucked inside so you don't lose it. There are a couple of niggles: It's easy to leave in the 'on' position, which I think drains the battery and it's not easy to play a video inside a presentation. But apart from that, all good.

Second time using this product, I loves the connectivity of the usb with a laptop for presentation. The is red laser pointer that the presenter can use to pin point key point during a presentation. This is top quality clicker and offers a good value for money, as a remote control on laptop is excellent., perfect size to suit ones pocket or purse.

This is a game changer. It fits into the hand and works from a long range.

Brilliant item really easy to use, in immaculate condition and bonus x2 batteries.
