Kensigton Wireless Presenter

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.

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

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

I bought this to allow me to control a presentation remotely (duh) and once it's working, it's working well - very easy, decent bit of kit, and I like the fact that I can keep the receiver tucked into the presenter itself when not in use - I'm good at losing things and this means I won't have to hunt around for it! I like the feel of the device too - reasonably solid without being heavy, and it feels like it won't ever just slip from your hand.It doesn't get five stars because it didn't "just work" out of the box the way I have found other presenters from Kensington to do. When I plugged it into my Win7 Laptop, initially nothing happened - I suspect this is where some people would give up and it sounds like Kensington Tech Support haven't always been helpful... Being reasonably clued up, I looked at the Device Manager - it was showing an error with the device which was easily sorted by allowing Windows to go and look for an updated driver for it online and it is now working perfectly.

I initially thought the Nano receiver was missing, it was in fact very neatly housed in the battery compartment lid.Worked straight away with no set up.

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.

Great device, bought so I wasn’t fumbling about during an interview with my laptop whilst presenting, held it under the table, allowed me to focus on my content and interviewers without thinking about my computer. I’m sure it’s excellent for its intended stand up presentations also. Fits nicely in the hand too, nice and neat. No problems connecting, plug and play, I don’t regret this purchase in the slightest.

Simple to use with plug and play. Great product and no issues - does what it says on the tin!
