Customer Reviews

Value for the money.
This is my second one. I broke the first by dropping it several times. It works great right out of the package. The only thing now with the second one is the battery keeps coming loose in the unit causing me not to have control mid-presentation. I have to open the unit and gently push the battery back in place. It is a nice product for the money, but you get what you pay for. If this one breaks I will not be buying a third….

Targus remote presenter= worst product ever
I ordered this from Amazon. It didn’t work at all- figured I got a defective one and returned it for a replacement. The second one was so cheaply made ($26)that the battery cover wouldn’t even open. Once I finally was able to open it, it wouldn’t slide closed. This one seemed like it was loading software to my PC but again, nothing happened. I am terribly disappointed as I have had these before, they never last more than a year but this was and continues to be a total waste of my time. I had to return the second one and still don’t have a wireless presenter!

Cost-effective tool for the modern office
The Targus Wireless Presenter comes with a carrying pouch, USB transceiver device, the remote control, a single AAA battery, and some instructions. The carrying pouch felt extremely cheap and was made of an inexpensive fabric material with a drawstring enclosure. The USB transceiver was automatically detected in XP SP-2 environments within 10-15 seconds. It will be identified as a 2.4 GHz RF keyboard and functions fine in over 4 different PCs and different versions of Microsoft PowerPoint.

The remote control accepts a single AAA battery, and as always I use rechargeable NiMh batteries since they offer more capacity, longer life, and the ability to be recharged thousands of times. The only drawback is they have a high self-discharge rate, resulting in the need for a recharge every 2-3 months even if you don’t use it.

The remote control has 6 controls. The ON/OFF switch is a slide switch on the side that is concealed to prevent accidental shutoffs. There are buttons to go to the next or previous slide, to switch between applications, to darken the slide (go to a black slide), and one for the laser pointer. I verified the remote control functions within 33 feet but it starts to have diminished control at the farther ranges. I am not familiar with any presentation environment where you are 33 feet away from the presentation PC so this is a non-issue. The laser pointer isn’t terribly bright and is a very small dot. I have my doubts about its effectiveness in a presentation environment.

Pros: It worked properly out of the box on several different computers all running XP SP-2 and different versions of Microsoft PowerPoint. Can use rechargeable NiMH batteries to reduce battery costs. It is small enough to throw in a laptop case or backpack but large enough that you can use it comfortably.

Cons: The carrying pouch is very flimsy and cheap. The laser pointer is rather weak but at least you have the option of using it.

Overall: Very affordable tool for use at the office or school and gets the job done.
