Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Keyspan by Tripp Lite PR-US2 Presentation Remote Wireless w Laser, Mouse
Customer Review: keyspan presentation remote mouse lover
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the keyspan mouse after having used it and two other remotes, or wireless, mice.
i have to use a remote on a few different computers for presentations. I don't have to lug around my laptop, just plug it into the USB port of any handy computer and i'm ready.
I used the Logitec remote mouse which fills the palm of the hand; I used the microsoft remote, which is just as bulky, also.
this is the only one that works everytime; with the keyspan I don't have to wait for the computer and transmitter to link to the mouse.
the others were simply too large to carry around in a briefcase.
this one fits easily in the top pocket of a dress shirt.
it fits easily in the hand and I don't have to have a surface to roll the mouse on.
i can carry it in the tiny vinyl covered pouch sold with the remote. the pouch has an attached cord to make it hard to forget.
with 2 different modes, one for presentations, and one for controlling programs it really is more than a presentation remote.
I am happy with this remote (even at the higher price than others) and recommend any serious presenter of powerpoints or user who has to demonstrate programs.
Customer Review: great tool - required for PowerPoint presenters
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently converted my six-hour workshop from old-school transparencies to PowerPoint (see my review of Beyond Bullet Points), and someone I deeply respect said to get the Keyspan unit. I did, and it's great! Simple to operate, and lets me move naturally around the room without being tied to the keyboard to move to the next slide. I practiced with it, and it worked flawlessly the first time I tried it.
Tips:
o carry an extra battery
o take out the battery when traveling - otherwise it might drain from the buttons being accidentally pressed against
o you may have to reset it when you put in a new battery. there's a pinhole in the receiver - just press it. the instructions have more detail
Note: I don't use the laser pointer, which is apparently a pain to activate.
Customer Review: Great Tool for Training/Teaching/Facilitation
Summary: 5 Stars
I conduct corporate training and teach college courses. In both arenas, I frequently use information from my laptop to illustrate. This portable mouse gives me the freedom and flexibility to present from anywhere in the room and not be tied to my computer. The first one I got had a flaw, but Keyspan replaced it immediately after my conversation with their technical support. The replacement has worked flawlessly. I love the range on this remote; I can control the computer from hundreds of feet away. The only challenge is if someone in the next room has the same remote -- then you start changing each others' presentations unexpectedly. The remote does have different codes you can switch to in order to avoid that problem (which I had to do once). Overall, a great product and well worth the price.Customer Review: This is what I was looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a High School World History Teacher and Technology Facilitator. I needed a multimedia controller that could control my PowerPoint presentation and Windows Media Player. I was looking for a controller that gave me the ability to walk around the class and control my computer from the other side of the room. The Keyspan does everything it claims to do. I can control my PowerPoint, Smart board, DVD movies and websites from across the room. It even has a laser pointer. The mouse feature allows you to control all your programs and right and left click anywhere on the screen. I was even able to use the Keyspan with people and obstacles between the controller and the receiver. I am using this product on a computer that is running Windows XP.Customer Review: The Best Presentation Remote I have found
Summary: 5 Stars
I do presentations all the time. Tired of my old remote, I bought one of each of the major brands to compare them: Interlink, Atek, Logitech, Gyro, ...
By far this is my favorite remote. The key features are
1. Size: small enough to fit easily in your pocket
2. Built in laser pointer
3. Mouse controls: thumb pad, plus 2 buttons
4. Scroll wheel.
The last feature -- the scroll wheel -- is hard to find in many remotes. I really like using the scroll wheel to flip rapidly through a presentation. That feature sets this remote apart for me.
All in all, a very nice product for a very reasonable price.
