Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of RF Wireless Red Laser Pointer Presentation Device (BLACK FINISH) with Page Up/down Presentation Function and more!Customer Review: Laser broke down quickly, range exaggerated, buttons flimsy Summary: 2 Stars
I am a math teacher. I used this in the classroom as a remote control for my class notes.
Pros
1. Good range, but the true range is about 25 feet. If i tried to walk any farther away than that, it would only work about half the time, which is not acceptablewhen standing in a classroom full of teenagers.
2. Does not require line of sight to function, which is great when there are lots of bodies in the way (such as in a classroom).
Cons
1. Needs a special A23 battery, which in my experience is frequently out of stock at many stores.
2. You MUST remove the battery after every use, or the pointer will drain the battery overnight. This is true mainly because....
3. The buttons feel like they can become stuck at any moment, and are very flimsy. In fact, the "previous" button became stuck after one day. Fortunately, it was not stuck in an "on" position, but rather in a way that made it unusable.
4. The laser became ineffective after about a week of use, even with a new battery. Which wasn't an issue anyway because the laser button became stuck about a week after that!
All in all, i used this pointer for about 3 months, 3 hours per day in my classroom. I went through probably 8 batteries during that time (though a couple of those were because i left them in overnight). Ultimately, i gave up on this device and i now use an infared Windows remote (basically looks like a typical TV remote, but with mouse control!). The IR receiver is high up in the room, so no issues with line-of-sight.
I'm sure there are higher quality remote devices out there. Mine probably still works (the "Next" button, anyway), so for the price it was a good deal. I needed something more durable for my daily use, so if you need a remote control as an essential tool for your job, i would recommend that you look for a different device.
