Targus Wireless USB Laser Presentation Remote - AMP13US

Compact and very easy to use. Just the essentials, no long learning curve to use.

We love having two remotes. The pastor can advance power point slides during his sermon, and someone else can control during the rest of the service. It's great!

I was skeptical when I purchased and the sales guy said it would be easy to set -up and use. I figured there would be some problem setting it up. (Isn't there always?) Not so...it was so simple to set up and the way the USB fits into the battery compartment, the switches to select which system you would be using was brilliant. I never write product reviews but I had to in this case. It worked so well with no problems....so refreshing! Only complaint would be the hard plastic packaging for store racks. The industry really does need to find a solution for that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laser pointer is absolutely amazing, it is super easy to use and works like a charm! No instructions needed just point and use for your next presentation. Perfect fit in a pocket too so even better!

I use my pointer on a MacBook Air and on my iMac (both with OSX 10.7.3) and have two issues with it: a. Once I plug the USB receiver it starts iTunes; and, b. Brings the volume of the Mac to zero and mute position, leaving on the computer screen the mute picture (not on the projected screen). Have tried to look into discussion forums to find a solution without luck. If anybody has a solution to this problem, I would appreciate you share it with us. Thanks

Simple to use, but for me, using Windows 11 on an Asus laptop, this clicker only works in the forward direction; let's hope none of the audience ask me to go back over anything!

whenever i connect to my MacBook Air it will mute the sound and itunes will be launched. should have read the review before i got it. so disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok the nice things about this laser pointer. It only uses one AAA battery, the back and forward buttons work. The laser works well enough if you're pointing it at a wall or white board. The bad, if you point the laser at a computer monitor it's almost invisible unless it's on a black part of the screen and you're looking straight on at it. If the screen is white or light colored, or you're looking at it at an angle it's not visible. On a TV it's even worse, it's almost completely invisible. Using this for presentations in a workplace doesn't work out well, due to most places using monitors or TVs for presentations.

I like the overall design, but the Forward button has stopped working after 18 months. Over time, I have felt the forward button lose its "click" action and it got progressively more difficult to operate, then it finally stopped working entirely. It's a shame because the unit has so many other good features, from the spare battery storage compartment to the ergonomic shape. It seems that the product designer got it right, but the engineer cut corners. I will not recommend the unit and am now shopping elsewhere for something more durable.

Mac goes mute which is not good for a presentation... I can't understand why nobody tested this looking at the number of similar reviews.
