I tried this out for a course I gave this summer. Works great. There is a stiffness to the buttons, and a silent "click" feel that occurs when you press the buttons. I found this to be an advantage over other "slushy" buttons where it was difficult to know if you clicked the button.

Love the AAA battery. Seems to last quite a while. I was really sick and tired of having to hunt around for CR2032 or similar flat batteries.

I was a little wary about the laser pointer. On previous presentation devices, the laser button always seems to get pressed while the device is in your pocket or briefcase. Then, to my dismay, I discover the battery is dead.

That is not a problem here. The buttons are stiff enough to resist inadvertent pressing.

All in all, this is a great little presentation pen. It is designed to move forward or backward through a set of slides. It doesn't have the useless "mouse pointer" crud that other devices have (which always work poorly).

This pointer was easy to set up in both Windows and in Linux. Having the receiver stored in the top of the pen was a smart idea. Twice I started to put the pen in my pocket and leave, only to then realize that I had forgotten to unplug the receiver and put it back in the pen top. If you forget to replace the receiver, it won't "feel" right as you place the pen in your pocket. Your immediate response will be to look down at your pocket, where you will see an empty hole in the top of your pen and realize you have forgotten the receiver.

UPDATE: 2 years later.

The USB dongle finally wore out and no longer makes a good connection. Not complaining, though. I have used this device well over a thousand times with a variety of computers, operating systems, and USB ports. I managed to get around 3-4 months of use out of each battery, although I seldom use the laser pointer function which probably helped a lot. I just ordered another, which is as good an endorsement as any.

Buy HDE Wireless USB Presentation Remote Clicker Pen Now

I love this thing.. I paid $18 for it, it takes a AAA Battery (instead of hard to find coin batteries like other devices), and the USB dongle stores inside the thing, so you won't lose it.

For the 3 reasons above, I decided to buy this presentation remote. I received it today (so I can't speak for endurance or long term quality). The laser is nice and bright. There's an on/off switch that seems to hard-disconnect the battery, so it shouldn't drain when you're not using it. The buttons click a little loudly, and overall it doesn't seem very high quality, but it's not bad at all. Finally, it worked plug-and-play on my Windows 7 and Powerpoint 2007 without problems.

If you just need an inexpensive slide advancer for the classroom, this one is a good one. The size is nice (not easily lost) only has 3 buttons (laser, forward and back) and the usb remote turns on instantly when plugged in and can be stored nicely in the clicker. I recommend it highly.

I bought this to use for presentations after getting tired of having to walk back to the console at the side of the room, or lean over to press a button at a table. (grad school, tons of them) It takes about 5 minutes to install itself for the first time, but after that it works perfectly. I've tried it with powerpoint and open office on my netbook. It's a little slower with open office, but everything is. The first real run of it was on someone else's mac. Those in charge of the colloquium wanted to use just one computer for consistency, and I was concerned that the clicker might not work for the mac, but after just a few minutes I was happily going through my slides. Two other people asked if they could use it when they saw me hook it up, so the next 5 presenters used it as well, for a total of about 3 hours. I had one cheap AAA battery that I'm not even sure was new, and there were no issues. I'll be using it four times in the next three weeks and look forward to not being stuck to my computer!

I really like that it turns off and all stays together because I'm great at losing parts or putting things away so they're pressing buttons. In the box it comes in, there's a space just the size of a AAA battery, so you can take it out and store it all together for extended periods of non-use.

This was very easy to setup and easy to use. I was able to change slides from a different room in my house as promised. I have not worn the batteries down yet, so I'm not sure about battery life, though they are easy to put in and take out.
