Is there a reliable way to use this to "swipe" through Powerpoint presentations yet?

There are apps that will allow you to program actions for your personal use, such as programming a swipe as skipping a slide in powerpoint, but this can be complex, though there may be apps that assist you in this already...

Never could get mine to work. This was a replacement for a nearly identical product that I used with windows xp. I eventually finished my task using SLIDES2SD. It did not work as well as the earlier product.

PowerPoint is Microsoft's IP. Android is Google's. Msft doesn't play nicely with Google, but the inverse isn't true. You can probably make it work, but just be wary it won't be like having a mini Windows

Yes it most definitely can be used for power point presentations. That's why I got one. Works great.

Does this work with Powerpoint on a mac? Does is it work with Keynote on Mac?

I use my iPad and an app called "Presentation Link" to run PDFs as presentations. I could not get the app to respond to the Pointer. I tried iBooks too and it worked, though in iBooks there's no way to get rid of the "page-turn" effect so it wasn't useful to me. I worked with a great technician at Satechi and we were unable to find a compatible app that would work with the Pointer and allow me to set transitions to "None". It was a handsome and well made device that does exactly what the description says: "Works with Keynote on iOS (in accessibility mode), Keynote, Powerpoint, Google Docs, Prezi on Mac & PC" At the Apple store when I asked about a remote for the iPad they suggested I ask Best Buy. That's when I should have known it was time to sell my Apple stock.

I have not used this in a long time. But my memory is that I had no cursor control problems. I used it mostly with powerpoint presentations (my audience needed pictures or I'd loose them with verbal droning only) and a couple of times with a software program. I was teaching kids and I needed to be moving around. I would have gotten miffed if this did not work and I had to keep going back to my laptop at the podium. I also used a smaller, cheaper one that I bought at Target. "Targa" brand I think? I had no problems with this either. You may find you have several good options, esp. now several years later. FWIW.

Yes, ofcourse, It works perfectly!! It's a great slide presentation tool. But I recommend to use It with Keynote. Using it at Powerpoint presentations may cause slide freezing. Actually it happens with anykind of slide presenter. I have a Targus, and even moving the presenter selector switch to Mac-Powerpoint presentation, the freezing happens anyway. So I believe it is a powerpoint issue and not the presenter device.

Yes, it does. As long as that is the active tab, it will work. Additionally, it will work on Google Slides using Chrome OS and even using Chrome OS to stream it to a TV via a Chromecast. This presenter is VERY Chrome/Google friendly! Tested it on both a Chromebook and a Chromebox.

No, it works wirelessly with your computer. Just plug in the wireless USB that comes with the remote into your computer USB port and it works instantaly in advancing your PowerPoint slides.

Yes. Works well. I use it for lectures with powerpoint (forward/backward) and the green laser. Keep an extra set of batteries in your briefcase. They last pretty long, depends on how much you use the laser it seems, and whether you turn it off when you are done.

Yes, I just purchased it and used it on a Mac Air, about 3 years old, running Maverick, 10.9.3. All buttons and functions work perfectly, including starting the slide show and the button for making the slide go black during the presentation. I am using it with Powerpoint, have not tested it with Keynote.

The are Office-like app's that will allow you to View your Powerpoints, just not edit them. Check either DocumentToGo - remember them from Palm.

That's a good question. There is a question posted here that answers the Keynote presentation part, but nothing about Powerpoint. I'll have to try it.

Yes it will, although I usually only use it for microsoft powerpoint presentations

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

No it's just a pointer and advances power point presentation. I do not use it anymore because it only worked once
