BT has a much smaller range (usually a 3 meter radius), and it would take time to pair the presenter to another machine if you need to present on a machine other than your own. 2. The current design uses the dongle to activate the laser pointer If those two things could be resolved in a redesign, I'd be first in line to buy another one. :D

I used to use a smaller "clicker" that mimics the left and right mouse buttons. The trouble is, to advance, I had to press the left button, which is counter intuitive. Many times I forgot and press the right button to forward only to find a context menu dropping down in the middle of my PowerPoint presentation.

I wish Kensington would come out with bluetooth presenter. That way, we can forget about the dongle.
