With its 60 foot range this presentation wireless remote, allows you to go for an enhanced and improved conversation and communication with your audience. This allows the presenter to make use of it with total confidence and activeness. You do not need to be some technocrat to learn its operations, it is a smart technology with extreme user-friendly quality. It works on complete cursor control and has similar competence of the two button style, like that in your mouse. Therefore you do not need to worry if you have to use a different device on the spot. There are no hassles of downloading some added software or installing any new program. You just need to plug-in the USB receiver into your laptop or PC and the widget starts working. This also makes it easier to be carried moreover your movement will not be restricted while giving the presentation. There are no chances of your or someone else’s foot getting stuck. ![]() It was assigned to the Speaking category.Moving around with this will not be a trouble.Presentation Remotes was published on Thursday, May 4th, 2006.Me, I’d rather just have a slide controller, and if I need to do something with the mouse, I’ll walk over to the computer and use the mouse. Of course, if you really need a presentation remote that can do a convincing impression of a slow-moving mouse driven by an Etch-A-Sketch interface, then you may disagree with me on this one. So: Keyspan remote bad, Kensington remote good. I dismissed the dialog box, and it’s worked without a hiccup ever since. The one little quirk I noticed was that the first time I plugged one of these into my PowerBook (running Tiger), the system said I was plugging in a new keyboard. I picked one up at the Apple Store the other night for not much more than it costs at your favorite online discount e-store, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s enough to make me reconsider my whole “one device to rule them all” stance. It’s the iPod of presentation controllers, designed to do one thing and do it very well. It fits easily in the hand, both in terms of size and shape. Even better, the USB receiver slides into a storage slot in the remote itself, and doing so turns the whole thing off, is pure genius.

While I was at IceWeb, I borrowed Molly‘s (or maybe it was Andy‘s) Kensington Pocket Presenter to deliver my talk. ![]() If you don’t interact with the remote for a minute or so, it goes back to default mode, which means it stops doing what it’s supposed to do (advance slides). Sadly, it won’t stay in the alternate mode. It turns out the remote has two “modes”, and the default mode can be only partly reprogrammed. As attendees of An Event Apart can tell you, we had problem after problem with the damn thing, both with the default settings and with the customized configuration I’d set up. It also has the ability to control the mouse pointer, change the audio volume, and more. I picked this particular make and model because I’d used one at Web Essentials 05 and it’s programmable, which always hooks me. ![]() Just before An Event Apart Philadelphia, I went out and bought a Keyspan Presentation Remote. This one will be of interest to the dozen or so of you who regularly give presentations that involve some sort of (Powerpoint, Keynote, S5, whatever) slide show.
