Works great for the price!

This is a great presentation remote for the price! Most of the time this remote control works fine. I bought this remote for my college program as we didn't have a presentation remote. I had some trouble connecting the remote after it was "off" sometimes. This is solved by turning it on and off multiple times until it works. Once it works I had no problems. We managed all day without having to change batteries. Teachers who have never used the remote control could easily pick up and use it. The

Pros
  • Soft-touch finish
Cons
  • Unreliable

Significantly inferior to the last

I have edited this review because I have been using the new one for 4 weeks now and it is significantly inferior to the previous one. I was thrilled that it had a locking feature when I ordered it. When it arrived it turned out to only block it so you can only use the clicker without the laser pointer. That's all well and good, but it needs to be able to lock when it's off so it doesn't drain the battery. I liked the new laser pointer and new button to turn off the screen. However, one of the…

Featured Product

Let me start by saying that I use Powerpoint A LOT. I have experience with several different presentation remotes and for the most part have had no problems with them, but most of the ones I've used have been plain and non-functional. This Targus product is easy to use and packed with useful features for both novice and experienced speakers. The USB IR receiver fits snugly into the battery compartment which houses two batteries. The device requires one AAA to operate, so the other is a backup…

Pros
  • Compact wireless presenter with comfortable fingertip control and bright laser pointer
Cons
  • No power

Absolutely GREAT!

I do 20-30 presentations a week a year. I display Powerpoints, PDFs and CAD drawings on the screen. After trying a few remote presentation pointers (even big names like MS or Logitech) none of them had the full functionality I needed and some missing features made me go to my laptop and do what I wanted needed to use the good old mouse, which makes the presentation lose momentum (if you do these things you know what I mean). I bought a Targus AMP02US a while ago and apart from its 1960s look…

Pros
  • Preinstalled connection, no driver required
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

All in all a decent product with one big flaw

I've been using this particular model of presentation console for quite some time - at least 8 years more or less. I've tried many types/models but I'm still sticking with this one for a couple of very important reasons (I've listed them in the Pros section below). I confess that these reasons are vital to me and the way I use this device. I'm a high school social sciences teacher who uses this not only to navigate slides/screens in presentations, but also in alternate mode. I also use it as a…

Pros
  • WLS PRESENTATION WITH LASER POINTER

  • unreliable
