"sound level mode" 2. mouse mode 3. presenting mode - 2xAAA batteries (included) - Driver-CD for Windows XP and Vista (not tested) - on/off switch at the bottom The mouse is not very good to hold in presenting mode: you have to use the thumb to navigate and for laser pointer. When you use the other fingers to navigate, you only can hold a couple of centimeters which is uncomfortably: the button for the laser pointer is approx. in the middle of the mouse where the normal mouse buttons for slide navigation are on the top as usual. *** Microsoft Windows XP Pro **** Mouse mode When I plug in the USB-dongle, the mouse gets recognised as any other wireless mouse and works out of the box. It is pretty sensitive and you have to get used to this "mouse resolution". **** Sound level mode When in sound level mode, the mouse wheel controls the system volume and the mouse buttons do nothing. **** Presentation mode Laser pointer is active and can be accessed when pressing on the "mode level switch". **** MS Powerpoint 2007 The mouse wheel and the left/right buttons navigate through the slides. The middle button (on the wheel) starts the presenting mode of Powerpoint. **** Foxit Reader v2.3 The mouse wheel and the left/right buttons navigate through the slides. The middle button (on the wheel) does nothing. **** Adobe Reader v8.1.2 The mouse wheel and the left/right buttons navigate through the slides. The middle button (on the wheel) does nothing. **** OpenOffice.org Impress v2.4.0 The mouse wheel and the left/right buttons navigate through the slides. The middle button (on the wheel) starts the presenting mode of Impress. *** Apple Mac OS X v10.4 (Update1) **** Mouse mode When I plug in the USB-dongle, there is a dialog for identifying the new keyboard. After pressing the buttons for a while the dialog ends with the message that the keyboard could not be identified. In the following dialog, I chose "ISO (European)" standard keyboard and so far, everything is fine with that. **** Sound level mode When in sound level mode, the mouse wheel controls the system volume and the mouse buttons do nothing. **** Presentation mode Laser pointer is active and can be accessed when pressing on the "mode level switch". **** Apple Keynote v2.0.2 The mouse wheel and the left/right buttons navigate through the slides. The middle button (on the wheel) does nothing. **** NeoOffice v2.2.1 Patch 0 The mouse wheel and the left/right buttons navigate through the slides. The middle button (on the wheel) starts and stops the presenting mode. **** Adobe Reader v7.0.5 The mouse wheel and the left/right buttons navigate through the slides. The middle button (on the wheel) does nothing. ------------------------- Note: this blog entry was originally authored using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity_%28software%29][Serendipity]] and converted to Org-mode format for publicvoit via a dumb script.
