Mac compatability

I bought this item on Amazon several months ago (as an awesome lightning deal nonetheless) and I've been able to use it and test it. I own and primarily use a MacBook Pro (now 1 generation old) running OS X 10.5 Leopard so my main concern in purchasing this item was its compatibility with the Mac OS and IWork '08 version of PowerPoint (namely Keynote). I am happy to say that the item seems to function without any trouble with Keynote! For various reasons, I also run Microsoft Office 2008 Mac - and I'm happy to report that the device also functions with Powerpoint. Perhaps the best thing of all with this wireless presenter is that there is no software to install. Note to Mac users - when you put the receiver into the USB port OS X will prompt you with a wizard thinking that the receiver is actually a keyboard - just close the dialog, no harm no foul. Overall, a great buy, highly recommended!

Does exactly what it should

This is a great product. It feels great in the hand, and it's easy to identify the buttons by touch. It works great out of the box using Keynote on my MacBook, and others have used it for Powerpoint on an XP machine without any problems.

Great little tool for presentations

My husband is very picky with his electronics, so I was taking a risk picking this out for his birthday especially since he couldn't find one he liked at the right price at other stores. Luckily, he loves this little gadget because of its perfect size (small and fits the shape of a hand nicely), its ease of use (simple USB connection), and its combo of laser and presenter. We are Mac users and were pleasantly surprised to find it works with both Powerpoint AND Keynote. He uses it to teach and says he couldn't have found a better one himself. Compared to others we've looked at stores, this price point is fantastic for its capabilities and style.
