Summary: How to disable your F5 key.
Comment: Overall, this is a great presentation remote. It fits nicely into your hand, takes AAA batteries, includes a laser pointer, has only four buttons, and is plug and play. I would have given it 5 stars except for one glaring fault: pressing the button for the laser pointer also sends the signal for the F5 key to the computer. In some presentation programs this is fine, since it corresponds to the full-screen button. In others and in most other programs, it produces effects that vary from mildly distracting to intolerable.
I knew this when I bought the remote. I'd hoped to rewire it, but I failed. If you too bought this remote or are planning on it, here's my suggested hack: disable your F5 key.
In Windows XP, this can be accomplished by setting F5 as a global keyboard shortcut for your presentation program. Windows XP ignores keyboard shortcuts for programs that are already open, so, as long as you have your presentation program running, the F5 key will be ignored. Keyboard shortcuts can be assigned in XP for any item in the start menu or any desktop shortcut by right clicking on the object, selecting Properties, and filling in the appropriate box under the shortcut tab.
Similarly, in KDE on linux, you can set a keyboard shortcut for F5 with no associated command. To do this, go to Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Input Actions, click the New Action Button and choose Keyboard Shortcut -> Activate Window, switch to the Keyboard Shortcut tab and input F5 as your desired shortcut.
Of course, the down side to this approach is that it disables the functionality of your F5 key. I plan to set my shortcuts only for presentations and delete them afterwards.

Summary: Just what a presenter needs
Comment: This product's simplicity makes it work. As a frequent presenter, I have struggled with keys, mice, and the terrible remotes that come with projectors. The problem: you have to focus on the tool instead of the audience. This remote has only four functions--the ones that you need: next slide, last slide, turn off the slide, and a laser pointer. That's it. One other feature that clearly is the result of someone who actually does presentations is that the USB part--a part that could be easily lost--plugs into the remote when it is not in use. Doing so also disables the laser so you don't drain your battery.
If you do a lot of presentations, use this remote. All that you want and nothing that you don't.

Summary: Excellent Presentation Tool
Comment: This is a well made and simple to use tool to improve presentations. It feels good in your hand, is simple to opporate and works as advertised every time. I do not think you could beat it's functionality at this price bogey.

Summary: Great purchase!
Comment: I love it! The presenter is easy to use, comfortable to carry around during class and works like a charm. No longer am I chained to the podium to change the slides during class. Price was definitely the best I've seen.

Summary: Very pleased, but wish it were smaller.
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R26L9C5KZQQQ1E This is my video review of the Kensington 33374 Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer. I'm very pleased with it overall, giving it only a slight deduction due to the size.
