Wireless Laser Pointers / Presenters

[Guest]

Any recommendations guys?

 

Looking for one that will act as a mouse as well.

 

Cheers

Gyromouse but it doesn't have a laser pointer.

I went for this Targus one, laser pointer, loads of functions, tracker ball, Alt & Tab Switcher, Volume... alsorts

Like Rich we went for a Targus Wirless Presenter, find the Laser a bit faint but everything else functions well and over distance, from back of School Hall with Laptop at front. Broke the Battery clip the first time I put batteries in "clumsy" but it was a weak design, though managed to repair it with a small piece of plastic and Araldite.

Been offered a good price on one of these:

I've got an earlier, slightly less feature-packed version of the Targus one and I find it pretty good. Decent radio range, pretty responsive.

 

I think you'll like it, Sysman!

also have the targus ones.

 

Train your users to turn them off when they're finished though, or use rechargeables.

How do these perform in conjunction with wireless laptops? (Also 2.4GHz)

Does it interfere in anyway?

Slowness on laptops?

 

@Sysman: where is this 'good price' from?

Well the Targus one works like a dream, too well infact. It will control the laptop even when used 2 classrooms away.

 

I am going to take a look at the Trust one now as that has channels that can be manually.

 

But if you only need one then the Targus is great value.
