What Others Say
High School Teacher Thinks it is great
The product goes back and forth through ppt screens, that is all I needed it for. The laser is helpful too.

The buttons make a very loud clicking sound when pressed, quite distracting. Laser is weak. It does move the presentation foward and backward.Spend a few more dollars and get a better presenter.
Works great OOTB with Ubuntu Linux
No, it's not broken, and the battery is not dead. You just have to find and flip the hidden on/off switch on the side.
It's working great with Ubuntu Linux, and apparently just operates as a mini USB RF keyboard. Just plug it in and voila!

Open Office's Impress (and anything else that uses a keyboard; you can probably find interesting other uses like volume control/mute) simply works as expected, responding to 'page-up', 'page-down', and 'alt-esc' (window cycling).

Targus Presenter Mouse
The Targus presenter which I purchased works just fine. I would suggest however, that the manufacturer STRESS in their instructions, that if you have a wireless mouse, you must disconnect that before using the product.
Exactly what I wanted
This was exactly what I wanted, it shows up to your computer as simply a USB keyboard so it works on all operating systems, including Linux, right out of the box. The buttons on the device are actually just page up, page down, b, and alt-tab keys, so it works fine in any program where those keys are useful (including OpenOffice Impress and Okular). It's very light weight and even came with a little travel pouch thingy.
