RemotePoint Navigator 2.4.......2007-05-20

The product is excellent. In my estimation the best on the market.

Great for Needy Faculty.......2007-05-09

I have tried out a number of presentation remotes and this product is the best I have found. While it does not have all of the bells and whistles of other remotes, it is also foolproof. I have to support dozens of faculty members at the college that I work at, and each faculty member has a different skill level. The simplicity of only having 4 buttons means that anyone can use it. Even the faculty that are afraid of technology do not seem to have trouble using this.

The range is fantastic and the battery life is pretty good. I have 7 of these units permanently located in classrooms and even with all that traffic I have not had a single unit fail in 3 years. This unit doesn't require drivers so it is easily installed, even into a visiting laptop.

The only problem I have had is that sometimes I will get the transmitters and receivers mixed up, and have to re-sync them. Each remote has to be synced to a specific receiver, but once this is done it remembers even when unplugged.

Simply does the job -- well, reliably, easily.......2007-03-17

This little guy works great. I'd had one at a previous job, and wanted one like it at the new job. It works every time with every PC I've ever tried it with. Buttons are laid out just where you'd want them. People that have never used it before get the hang of it immediately.

Yes, there are fancier ones, and I've used them, but I prefer this one. It's simple, non-confusing, and there are no buttons to accidently push and sudden bring up a menu or the mouse pointer.

The laser pointer is adequate, though not nearly as bright as the green lasers. I like the video mute button, which allows me to "mute" the picture on the screen if I want the audience to pay attention to me instead of the screen temporarily. It also works great to have the video off before I'm ready to start, then click it on as I go up to speak.

And the price is right too.

This is a two thumbs up.

Interlink RemotePoint is Poorly Designed.......2007-03-10

I've owned three of Interlink's units, but that was before competitors came to market with well-designed units. The Interlink pointer plastic casing is flimsy and cracks easily; there is no OFF switch to prevent the laser from accidentally coming on when the unit is packed or placed in one's pocket; the advance and go-back buttons function most of the time, but on average miss and have to be pushed a second or third time at least 2-3 times per 30 minute presentation. Although I agree with many of the points made by other reviewers who score this Interlink product better than I do, it seems these other reviewers have not compared the Interlink pointer with competing pointers that have identical features. For example, the Kensington pointer is half the price; the case is sturdy, has a no-slip outer coating, has a comfortable feel in the hand, and even includes a trench that serves as a holder for the receiver when not in use. Placing the receiver in this trench automatically disconnects the laser so that batteries do not have to be removed when packing the unit for a trip. And the advance and go-back buttons function all of the time, not just most of the time!

No Drivers Required and MEGA EASY to operate!.......2007-01-11

This unit is my favorite because the professors that use it can't "screw it up" :) It's back button actually takes you back in the powerpoint instead of being a right mouse click like some advancers use. Also it requires no cd or anything to install before the unit will work. And it works at very long range. I love this unit and highly recommend it. Interlink's upgrade to this has a joystick that works like a mouse, but it doesn't work well and complicates the issue for the users. So this is the one I recommend.
