This is no doubt an interesting multi-fuction device with lots of features, although I really don't know how often anyone is going to use the ESC and ALT-TAB side button on the left side!

The range is pretty good, about 35 feet and it's a good size to travel with for presentations. BUT, the reduced size is over-kill as my average sized male mousing hand was badly cramping after 20 minutes of straight use. It's just WAY TOO small.

Also a big flaw is that the laser doesn't work when it is in mouse / presenter mode, just when you want to point to a slide while doing a PowerPoint presentation. This is not an issue with some other mice/presenter devices like Logitech's.

While its fully compatible with Windows 98 - XP, it NOT Mac at all; which others often are.
