Very nice basic wireless presenter/mouseReviewed by Kristen B, 2009-10-28
I use wireless mouses for my job as a trainer. I am always looking for a nice presenter and mouse combined. This is a great presenter at a lower cost. The rubber piece in the middle is the mouse, and it works great, just a tad slower compared to other options. But it does work great, just have to get use to the rubber piece and maneuvering it. The only recommendation I would have is to make the mouse more user friendly, but otherwise it has great battery life and is plug and play which works great going for different classrooms.
Took it back, got a KeySpanReviewed by Brian Gouge, 2009-09-24
After reading reviews for the Targus Wireless Presenter with cursor
control (PAUM30U or AMP02US), someone recommended the Keyspan
Presentation Remote Pro (PRPRO3) as a better alternative, and I
have to agree!
The Targus has a switch you constantly have to fiddle with to
switch between Mouse and Presenter modes, and it can be
frustrating. The laser pointer button is in a weird place on the
Targus and only works in Presenter mode. The Targus comes with a 3"
USB extender cable and a carrying case, but the Targus' USB dongle
is also a lot wider than the Keyspan. I don't think the Keyspan's
USB dongle is wide enough to block any nearby USB ports, and that
beats using an extender cable. Both have an on/off switch to
prevent draining the batteries, so long as you remember to turn it
off. The Targus uses 1 AAA battery, the Keyspan uses 2 AAA
batteries. There is NO volume buttons on the Targus.
The Keyspan Presentation Remote Pro (PRPRO3) has no mode switch.
All the buttons do the same thing all the time. The USB dongle
stores inside the remote; it is spring loaded so you press to click
it in and press to pop it out.
The Targus was available locally at brick & mortar stores, so I
was able to get 30 minute shipping (I went and bought it :-), but I
will be taking it back after getting the Keyspan. The Targus is too
frustrating with the mode switch combining the left/right mouse
with back/forward keys.
I hope this helps someone make an informed decision. Feel free to
review my other comments on the Keyspan Keyspan Presentation Remote

The perfect remote.Reviewed by Robert A. Cloutier, 2009-03-19
I love this remote. I paid $49.99 for it about 2 years ago and everyone in the shop wants to borrow it. The single AAA battery can last a long time, if you can remember to turn the unit off at the end of the day, and it's easy to replace when needed. Our classrooms are about 30 feet long with the computer at the far end. A few times I had to re-connect with a different channel but that's easy enough to do. One of the best features I like is that it's small and light enough to fit in my front shirt pocket.
Great productReviewed by Mr. Q, 2009-02-20
I've been using this presenter and am very satisfied with the price
and its functionality. The range of this presenter is great as
well. I have read some of the other posts listed here and would
like to add to it.
Those who find the range of this device unsatisfactory may need to
reset the receiving unit and change to a different channel. This is
because there may be other signals interfering with the unit. In
order to do this..
You will have to locate the reset button at the end/tip of the USB
receiver. Press that once and a green light will start to blink.
Now on your presenting unit, locate the 'connect' button on the
underside. While the green light is flashing on the USB receiver
press the 'connect' button on the presenting unit and voila! you've
successfully changed your channel and hopefully fixed any signal
interference issues.
Hopefully this post would help others fix any issues.
Pros:
- quick and easy to use
- no drivers needed
- 4 main functional buttons (back, next, blackout screen,
stop/play)
- laser pointer is bright enough..(not as bright as some laser
pointers that really burns your retina)
- mouse/laser function
- on/off switch for laser (this will help laser mishaps that will
drain your batteries, uses 1x AAA battery (easy to replace).
Cons:
can't really use the laser and mouse function at the same
time
would like to see a timer on this unit
USB has no flash memory capability to store powerpoint
presentations
Conclusion:
This is a great unit overall. I bought this for 18 with free
shipping.
You can access the manual for this unit on the Targus
website.
