[OT] Wireless remote events?

[Bill Vlahos]

I haven't used the Kensington device but love the KeySpan Presentation 
Remote. It has a number of controls but the primary one is the bowtie 
left and right mouse button on the front and the rocker/scroll wheel on 
the side. This remote feels great to hold and the controls are very 
easy to get used to.

While not needed to work, it does come with software that allows you to 
remap the switches on the remote.
