Mouse for presentations?

[Arnoud Galactus Engelfriet]

In a few months I'll be giving a lot of presentations in a classroom
setting. As I like to walk around during a presentation, it's rather
inconvenient that I have to walk back to my laptop to press the spacebar for
the next sheet or animation element.

Recently I saw someone give a presentation using some kind of wireless
handheld device that allowed him to remotely press the "next sheet" button.
It wasn't a mouse, but some kind of small stick with just a button on it.
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to ask him what device it was.

Does anyone here have any ideas?

Arnoud,

Key RF - Control your powerpoint presentations remotely with this radio frequency keypad. Works up to 100 feet, does not
need line of sight. Simple 2 or 4 buttons

There are many others that do a similar task.
