Customer Review: Keyspan PR-US2 Presentation Remote
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool is just fantistic, I really love the built in laser pointer and the small size of the remote is great.Customer Review: Just a click away!
Summary: 5 Stars
So far, so good! I've only used this once so far and had no problems at all working it!Customer Review: Overall, best value presentation remote
Summary: 4 Stars
I have tested and used many remotes and have found that the Keyspan is the best remote for professional presentations. I am a trial lawyer and use the remote with PowerPoint for jury trials. As any presentation should go smoothly, the Keyspan remote works well from all over the room. I have not had any connectivity or response problems even from across the courtroom. Also, I walk around throughout my presentations and the remote has yet to let me down. Of course, proper placement of your receiving laptop is necessary.
The Microsoft Wireless Presenter 3000 remote is a good size and fits nicely in my hand. I have had connectivity issues with it, however, as I have had to move closer to the receiver to get it to work. The last thing one wants during a presentation is to be distracted by technology. The mousing function is awkward and the back and forward buttons are small. The laser pointer is easy to access and utilize.
The Logitech 2.4 GHz Cordless Presenter works well but does not have a mouse function. If any mousing needs to be part of your presentation, you are out of luck with this remote. Moreover, its quite expensive when compared to its competitors.
I did not give the Keyspan remote 5 stars for the following two reasons: (1) It uses a coin cell battery (similar to a larger watch battery) so make sure to have one on you as it may be difficult to find on the road. (2) To turn the laser pointer on, it is somewhat awkward requiring the user to hold two buttons down at once. Once the laser is on, you can use it freely during the presentation but to activate it, you have to manipulate two buttons, for someone with large fingers, it may be annoying.
Happy Pointing!
Customer Review: Good, but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this remote to make PowerPoint presentations and I have to say I am pretty satisfied with the purchase. It does what it claims, installation was painless, just insert the transmitter into USB port and WinXP can recognize the device. I haven't tested the maximum operating distance, but I never experienced a problem with the laptop not responding to my actions. Just a couple things I would like to mention that I feel need improvement.First, it's difficult to turn on the laser pointer. You need to press one button and then hold two buttons together and wait for 10 seconds. And the same you would like to turn it off. I cannot really understand if such complexity is really necessary.
Second, the battery used is the round flat one, like the one in the watches, just bigger. You can find it online, but not in the convenience store. I would rather them use a standard one.
Otherwise, I think for the money that is the best you can do. Comparable Logitech model is probably better, but costs $100 more at the time of this review.
Customer Review: I wouldn't train without it!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my third Keyspan wireless remote. I wore out the first one and I replaced it with the newer model, then bought another of this model. I train professionally and wouldn't train without my Keyspan. (The same goes for my colleagues.) It works wonderfully well and the battery lasts a long time. It allows me to roam around the room (my training style) and run my presentation anywhere. Quite simply, it untethers me from my computer and allows me to focus on training/presenting--plus it makes me look good while I do it.
p.s. The only reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is that the newer model has more features that I like, like volume control and blank screen. But I bought this one because I like the touch of the mouse better.
