not as good as i expected2009-04-21
The product does not reach the distance it says on the package. that is why i bought this item. Will have to buy a better item.
Pretty good remote but there are better ones2009-02-23
I have owned the Keyspan Presentation Remote for several years and used it several times a week during that period to teach University level classes. This remote has served me faithfully and reasonably efficiently for all that time and I have a hard time writing anything bad about it. However, it does have some flaws such as the fact that it is hard to control the forward and backward movement of slides with the thumb wheel without making a mistake. Also about once a year the remote will become unsynchronized with the USB receiver requiring resynchronization. Not a big deal, but still a pain, especially if it happens at an awkward time and you don't happen to have the manual around to show you the procedure for doing this (it isn't intuitive).

I still have this remote but recently upgraded to the Keyspan Presentation Remote Pro and the improvements are dramatic. Before using the Pro, I probably would have given this remote 4 stars, but now by comparison to the Pro this one drops to 3 (the pro is 5+ stars). Given that the Pro is only about $12 more expensive, it is a no-brainer to spend the extra cash and get the Pro imo.
Good for slide advance/retreat2009-02-02
Using hyperlinks to bring up reference slides for discussion and then a hyperlink to go back on topic is not smoothly accomplished.

Compared to using a mouse, getting the pointer to appear and move to the hyperlink button is not easily controlled. The uncertain movement detracts from the presentation.

Consider two or more references that are required to address audience questions. None or only one reference might be needed which makes mouse clicks impractical for navigation.
Great Product2008-11-02
The Keyspan PR-US2 Presentation Remote is great for instructors that like to walk around a room while teaching. You are not tied down to a computer or have to rely on someone else to change slides. The lazer pointer is a great way to highlight something in your slide as well. This is a great all in one remote.
