Do I have to point the remote at the computer to use the mouse, or can it be pointed at the presentation screen?

I've used it while walking around a classroom pointing in the general direction of the projector or computer. Its worked well these past eight months I've owned it.

You can point to the screen, depending how far you are from it. But this is a good pointer!

I walk around and tend to point at the screen, since I'm usually using the later pointer. In my current classroom, the USB receiver is on the back of the IMAC, and so out of sight, but I don't have any trouble. I haven't tried using it from the back of the room but the package says good to 100'.

No it is RF not "line of sight" so it works behind doors or walls. 100ft of open space. The more that is in the way, the weaker the signal gets. (doors, walls, etc) but it is very powerful. It's my go-to remote for any presentation. Hasn't failed me once.

Yes. The mouse operates through the OS to position the cursor. The cursor is then in complete sync with the video where ever it is displayed. Makes no difference if the video goes straight to the display or through a converter like this Sewell Hammerhead VGA to HDMI Converter, the video still includes the cursor which is controlled by the mouse. The mouse cursor and the video is generated entirely in the computer controlled by the OS.

yes once logged into netflix and the web page is open it should function as a mouse to control both. However with my laptop I set the audio, and use the HDMI connection and controll the sound from the tv remote versus having to constantly adjust the laptop sound. keep in mind run your laptop or computer audio about half and then you can adjust to a comfort level. also yes this remote can be used as a mouse too.

Using the laser did not trigger anything as I remember. Now, there is two modes for this presenter: Presentation mode and mouse mode. It may possibly do it in mouse mode, but not as I recall because I pressed the button in mouse mode before and it did not do anything.

If you are mirroring the laptop you will need to use the laptop keyboard or 3rd party remote connected to the laptop because the projector is only mirroring your display. IF you have converted your presentation into JPG to be played from a USB Memory stick or Micro SD storage then you can use the remote that is included with the projector to navigate your presentation.

The mouse (or any other pointing device) attaches to the computer. This keyboard connects to the computer via a USB connection.

No, it behaves like a regular tv remote, press a key, a signal burst goes out. The mouse would require a continues beam.

Hello. It works like a mouse. You could left-click in PowerPoint to change slides, just like a mouse. Other than that, it really is not a presenter like the Logitech device.

This is just a Screen with a Battery in it (monitor). To do a presentation you have to hook the monitor up to a Smartphone or Laptop and use something like this http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-910-001354-Wireless-Presenter-R400/dp/B002GHBUTK/ref=sr_1_2 to make the outside device advance the slides.

No. You'll need a remote that has mouse functions (commonly a small joystick or touch pad) in addition to the standard left/right slide functions.

The remote for the screen comes prefigured for the screen. Just plug in the screen with the wired controller facing forward. Remember to aim the controller at the button box, not the screen frame.

I don't use a mouse with mine, if that is what you mean. As far as I am aware, you cannot touch the screen and use it.

Correct. You can't map software on the mouses keys and launch said software with said keys. The strike7 keyboard can that

This one does not have a pointer, it's just a mouse. Look for this item instead: B007F9IP9C - it is specifically designed for presentations.

I don't think so. I have a logitech wireless mouse and I need to put it's own receiver in for it to work. It will not work with the presenter receiver.

I have not needed to program the mouse but I know you can. You need to go to their website and get the directions. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
