When in "Presentation Mode" the play/pause button will advance the slides (as will the volume up/skip forward button, volume down/skip back will reverse them). Hitting the Mute button will end the presentation while selecting the home button will cause the screen to go black. A nice touch if you want to have the someone in the audience looks at you instead of the slide. Pressing the Home button again will resume the presentation where you left off. You can also go to a particular slide number using the number pad.
In "Multimedia Mode" selecting the laser pointer button (which only produces a beam in Accessibility & Presentation modes) will bring up a dialog box asking if you want to shut down the computer. Pressing the button again does not dismiss this box. You have to do it manually on the Mac. A pain if you accidentally hit that button.
In Multimedia Mode on the iPhone, when you select the Camera app, the volume up button will snap a picture. If you put the iPhone on a tripod, this is a nice way to take a group shot.
This is the first presentation remote I have used that has had a rechargeable battery instead of a button cell. I am anxious to see how long the battery lasts. A battery life indicator would be a nice touch to add on future models. It does come with an on/of switch. Not sure if it puts itself in a low power mode if not used for awhile. (While writing this, I did notice a connection lost notification from my Mac after about five minutes - connection was reestablished after pressing a button - guess that answers that question)
The laser pointer is bright and crisp and can be seen even in a brightly lit rooms.
The only down side to this pointer (and hence the 4 stars) is the lack of any way to control the mouse. Many times I will embed URLs into my presentations that I will click on. I need to have a wireless mouse handy in order to click on these links. I'm wondering how hard it would be to add this functionality. (Posted on April 10, 2013)

Pairing the remote with a Mac is very easy. I use OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Pairing process requires us to press the bluetooth button. This means, for every pair, I have to slide down the button cover (which I have to perform very carefully to avoid breaking the unit). Pairing with Mac also need us to enter 8 digits number (then enter), since this unit is recognized as a keyboard in Mac. The numeric buttons are small, but I don't have any problem in entering the 8 digits number.
So far I have tried multimedia mode and presentation mode, all works correctly.
In presentation mode paired with a Macbook and PowerPoint, this remote does well in going to next slide and previous slide (which is, pretty much everything I need). The red laser pointer works properly, but I noticed a little delay from the moment we press the pointer button until we actually see a pointer on the screen.
In multimedia mode paired with a Macbook and few different movie players, this remote does well in play/pause, volume up/down and mute. Prev and next button works for some players and don't work for some others.
If I don't press anything for few minutes, the remote will disconnect itself from the computer. I guess this is to save battery. Pressing any button will trigger reconnection. Takes about 5 seconds to reconnect. Then all the buttons will work again. This will most probably not a problem in presentation, as I would have moved to the next slide anyway before the disconnection, but certainly is a bit annoying when watching a movie.
When I tried to pair it with Mac mini, the pairing process works correctly. But when I want to reconnect to Macbook again, I have to repeat the pairing process from the beginning. Actually I don't mind a little extra steps as long as it works. What worries me, is every pairing process requires me to slide down the numeric buttons cover, which I don't like.
In the end, I changed my mind about using this remote for my Macbook, Mac mini, iPhone and iPad. I decided to just pair it with one device: my Macbook, to do presentations mainly. Because re-pair process is kinda "scary".
If you consider to buy this remote to use with one device, whatever it is, then this is a GOOD device (since you only need to do one time pair). But if you consider to buy this remote, thinking that you can use with with different devices in day-to-day use, please be aware. (Posted on March 4, 2013)
