This is a nicely made presentation remote in the shape of a stylus. It comes in a nice metal case and has an intriguing design: the USB receiver dongle lives within the body of the stylus, and the battery is rechargeable through a side USB-C port. There's a laser pointer as well. It's kind of a similar size and shape to a long whiteboard marker.While this advertises "windows stylus features" with "erasing", as far as I can tell, it isn't an active stylus of the type that would work on Windows tablets - instead, they're just saying it can be used on touch screens, and there's a button that triggers the PowerPoint shortcut for clearing annotations. Still, a useful bonus.Range seems reasonable, but I do wish the receiver were USB-C, as I have to carry and use an adapter to connect it to most of my modern laptops.Overall, this is one of the nicer third party presentation clickers I've tried (it even comes in a swanky metal case). I think it's a notch better than many of the alternatives, although maybe slightly less good than a name brand Logitech alternative. The price feels very fair for its market position.

I’m just not a huge fan of it. It is somewhat heavy to hold, and for the cost I’m just not pleased. I click the buttons when writing and the pen tip is too big for my preference. Will most likely return.

I liked this presentation clicker a lot because it is smaller than most and fits nicely in your hand. It feels solid.It is pen-shaped, with four buttons and a red laser pointer. The laser pointer is bright. It also has a soft stylus at the other end. Two spare tips for the soft stylus are included.The USB A receiver is hidden inside the presentation clicker. You have to unscrew the soft stylus to get at it. It is held in place with a magnet. The receiver can be plugged into a hub or adapter; it doesn't need to be plugged directly into the laptop.I wish you could get at the receiver without needing to unscrew the stylus. I would have preferred easy access to the receiver over the soft stylus.This presentation clicker does not have Bluetooth as an option.The upward pointing button can be used to go to the previous slide (short press) or start or stop full screen mode (long press). The downward pointing button can be used to go to the next slide (short press) or start or stop blank screen (long press). The other buttons can be used to open hyperlinks or switch windows.The presentation clicker is recharged using the included USB C to USB A cable.It comes in a nice metal case. However, it was a little slippery, making it harder for my fingers to open the case.

The presentation remote is packaged well and I like the storage case. Having extra tips is great, as well, as you don't often get extra tips with smart pens. I tried out the pen part on my touchscreen phone and it works flawlessly. I was not able to test it on a smartboard.I charged the remote for about 10 minutes so I could do my initial test. I was surprised and how much it charged (it arrived with no charge) in just that 5 minutes. After testing, I continued charging it and it took about 30 minutes of additional charging before the red indicator light turned off.The laser pointer is bright and strong (brighter than it appears in the picture).I like the USV being hidden inside the pen side of the presenter. The magnet in there is a clever, helpful addition so you're not shaking the receiver out of the tip. It goes back in just as easily as it comes out.The color of the presenter is a metallic blue/green. Unique and attractive choice. It is also matte, so it doesn't show fingerprints.I tested this using an HP laptop running Windows 10 and PowerPoint in Microsoft 365 (installed version). I plugged the USB receiver into my computer and it installed automatically as a mouse. After it self-installed, I turned on the presenter and it connected with no issues.All functions worked exactly as described in the manual. Starting the slideshow, blacking the screen, moving through slides, etc.The tricky function was the Hyperlink button. If you are presenting with multiple screen or with a projector and your PowerPoint is in Presenter Mode (the screen on your view shows your current slide, next slide, and notes for the slide and the other screen shows just the current slide), you have to be cautious which screen your presentation clicker is on. Press once and you will see it select something. If that something is box around the hyperlink (or whatever you're wanting to click on the screen), then you double-click quickly and it will click the selection. I got the selection to come up once, then didn't double-click fast enough and when I single-clicked to select it again, I was on the buttons on the Presenter Mode screen. Once I realized what had happened, I just single-clicked until I got back to the slide with the hyperlink and then was able to activate it.If you want to use the marking button to draw on your slides, make sure you're on the screen that only shows your slide. If you're on the Presenter screen, that button will bring up the Print function.I definitely recommend playing around with this presenter before you use it the first time. Once you understand the functions of how it works, it is very easy to use. I look forward to using this for years to come.FYI The bottom of this presenter is magnetic! Super handy, but be careful where you set it. I set it on top of my laptop and when I picked it up and it was sticking a bit, I was worried I might have messed up my computer. I didn't, but I will be more cautious in the future.
