- Good mouse, needs some work...
Overall I am satisfied with my purchase of this product, however I also have some concerns that I'm sure Microsoft will cover in their next model...

First of all, the mouse needs to emulate keyboard shortcuts with the presentation buttons, instead of using "Microsoft Specific" commands for their software (Office 2003, 2007, and their Powerpoint Viewers). For those who want to use this product with OpenOffice, or StarOffice, it will not work unless software is released to "patch" to these programs.

Second, I find that some of the ports on my computer have problems running the Bluetooth Receiver. It could be my computer, but on some of the ports, the mouse becomes unresponsive.

Third, Some of the buttons on the mouse are awkwardly placed. I think that even if they made the mouse a little bit bigger to make them fit better it would improve my overall thoughts about this mouse.

If you looking to use it for Microsoft software, this will work for you. Though I would personally wait for future models.

- buy at your own risk! nice idea but faulty ergonomics
I see now that the price of this thing has gone down dramatically. There are certainly good reasons for that! Let me tell you what i've learn from three month of trying to use this presenter/mouse.

I do a lot of presentations all over the world. I keep trying presenters or "clickers" because they make a big difference to my ability to exercise more control on the presenation.

I paid handsomely when this first came out as the combination of a bluetooth mouse and a presenter was really tempting. As a mouse it turned out ok. Even though it is compact, most of the controls, especially the wheel and the main click buttons are comfortable (not the little ones though). The mouse is quite precise. The laser is quite powerful as it is driven by two AAA batteries rather than a smaller clock type battery.

However as a presentation tool it turned out to be a disaster for me. I have run into several problems that in front of a large audience could completely ruin the presentation. Push the wrong button, the presenter switches to mouse, and before you know it slides start jumping, video clips are launched before intended, and so on.

How this might happen? While doing a presentation with this item one can inadvertently switch mode of the device from presenter to mouse. Mouse controls are at the top of the device and the presenter's at the opposite side. One can switch modes back and forth using a toggle button on the mouse side which is facing downwards (palm of the hand) when the device is used as a presenter.

Because of the location of that control you might press accidentaly that button with the palm of your hand when holding it in your hand. When that happens everything goes haywire because the mouse buttons activate instead of the presenter buttons and take control of the computer. I will let you imagine in just how many different ways things could go wrong in your own presentation in a situation like this. Likewise, one can inadvertently open the battery cover while holding the device as a presenter because the release button can also be pushed accidentally.

Both things happened to me and to other high level executives while we were making high stake presentations, causing a bit of panic. We rapidly switched back to our tried and true clickers as we could not tame this presenter.

Yes, things can go wrong with any clicker. However I think that the design of this particular one puts it in a class of its own to cause confusion.

So buy at your own risk! nice idea but confusing to use.

- Great mouse for everyday use and travel
This is a great mouse. I at first thought that this would be a mouse that spends most of its time in my bag waiting for me to travel. As it tuns out, I use it every day. The battery life seems great, it has ben a month so far and I am still on the factory issued batteries. I don't even turn it off overnight. The feature buttons are nice and the presentation piece works like a charm. It is small, so it may not be as comfy if you have large hands.

- A very good mouse with a few extras
This mouse was just what I was looking for and delivered. Many other mice have a delay in waking up, but this mouse was always responsive. I purchased this mouse specifically for it's PowerPoint/presenter capability and have to say that I have not been disappointed. I do wish the magnifier capability was better (and am looking for a replacement that better suits my needs).
