PAUM31U Targus USB, Works ok

Overall Rating3.53.53.53.53.5

Works ok

I bought this unit for frequent Power Points. I was excited about the item because of the built in mouse, however, the mouse moves rather slowly across the computer screen. I can walk to my computer and use the mouse 10 times faster. The other problem I had was determining which mode I was in. The button furthest to the bottom of the unit toggles the unit between slide show and mouse. There is no way of knowing which function you are in until you fumble around with it for a while. Once your in slide show mode the unit works fine. Do not buy the unit for the mouse if that is what you are planning. I recomment this unit based on price and function with slide shows only. You can spend more money and possibly have the best of both worlds (slide shows/mouse).

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Recommended…easy to install, durable, cheap, and linux-compatible.
Reasonable price. Very durable (I use it daily for lecturing). Runs on linux without any driver issues, etc. But…this model is the model which lacks the built-in laser pointer. I also have the (nearly identical looking) model with the laser pointer, which I prefer for convenience’s sake.
