Choosing presentation remote control or slide clicker

As I’m getting into more speaking engagements I start to think about proper tools. One of those tools is a presentation remote control or a slide clicker. So, I went into a bit of research before making my buying decision. Here’s some useful pieces of information I found in my research.

First, an good article on the process of choosing a clicker. The author goes into describing a few key characteristics of presentation remote controls and explains why you may need them. Choosing a Presentation Remote Control

Second, an article from About.com going over the main options for clicks on the market. Top 6 presentation devices

Finally, here’s a few product comparison pages from various vendors and portals on the web:

• Kensington 33062 Wireless Presentation Remote Control with Laser Pointer
• Keyspan Presentation Remote Pro presentation remote control
• PowerPoint Presentation Remote Controls
• Presentation pointers ar TigerDirect.ca
• PowerPoint presentation remote controls at NexTag
• Presentation Remote Controls at Yahoo! Shopping
• Remote-Controls Comparison at ZDNet

I hope you found this useful. If you did, share with others. Thanks a bunch!
