Item was unstable and had to be returned [Posted on 2007-01-11]
Item would not work consistently even with new drivers downloaded from the manufacturer. Programmable keys lose their programming. Had to return the item.
very nice [Posted on 2007-08-12]
As a new user I'm finding this a very comfortable remote to use. My husband's used it at work for several months now and loves it. We ordered ous from amazon and just got it hooked up on our computer at home today and I'm having no problems getting used to it. Overall, a very good product so far.
No problems [Posted on 2007-09-22]
I purchased the Interlink Electronics VP4810 on August 22, 2007 and have been using it through the USB connection to a computer using Windows XP as the OS. I had used this product for a number of years at one institution that supplied the units but moved to another institution that did not. I was not happy at all with the wireless mouse the institution supplied and which was the only tool I could use to advance slides when away from the computer desk, so I purchased my own VP4810 and use it as a portable unit. I have had absolutely no trouble with it (I downloaded the software from Interlink's website rather than use the disc that came with the unit so I could, hopefully, get the most recent software version). I admit I use it only as a two-button mouse and do not, as yet, use all the other features that come with the software. I appreciate the freedom the unit gives me in making presentations and the laser pointer feature is also very handy.
Very effective in classroom setting [Posted on 2007-11-08]
I support a school where we use these remotes in 60 classrooms and I am now taking over another school that does not use this remote. I will be replacing all the remotes at the new school over the next year with these. They work well, allow for easy programming to minimize interference. The extra software isn't needed if all you do is use it for a mouse, works on WinXP right out of the box.
The remote is larger than others I have used, but the durability out does everything in its price range. In the last 3 months I have had 6 cheaper remotes fail due to being dropped or failing to connect. I will not buy cheap remotes when this one is only $20 more and lasts twice as long.
If you need a basic remote mouse for a classroom, you won't find anything better for the price.
Range is excellent, function consistent, durability to last.

Works Great! [Posted on 2008-01-05]
I use this remote mouse everyday in my classroom, and it works great. I've never had a problem with it. There are smaller ones that cost around $69 but the other teachers at our school do not like them as well because the thumb pad (for moving the mouse pointer) is harder to use. This one by Interlink is much easier. I've used it for four or five years and can't remember changing the batteries. The keyboard option is nice but I found that I don't use it as much as I thought I would. It also has the mouse controlers on the top corners, which is helpful. The only issue we've had with the mouse is when two teachers next door have this same mouse. The mouse has such a long range it tries to control the computers in both rooms. I'm sure there is a way to change the channel so we're looking into that.
