Working in a corporate office setting like I do, meetings are a fact of life. Heck, at Cummins, we have meetings to talk about meetings. No, Iβm not kiddingβ¦ Although I have to attend more meetings than I care to, Iβm lucky that I donβt have to present them. Recently I overheard one of my co-workers asking about a Green laser pointer and I thought I would help him out by having him test a Kensington Wireless Presenter Pro Green Laser Pointer that had been sent to me to review. Letβs take a look.

User Manual
The Wireless Presenter Pro is a small hand sized device with a Black shiny case and a rubberized hand grip.
It is comfortable to hold and has a solid feel.
Chromed plastic buttons on the top control the Green laser, next / previous slides and screen blanking. Thereβs also an on/off switch located on the side.
The USB receiver dongle stores conveniently inside the pointer. The Wireless Presenter Pro works with Microsoft PowerPoint and Appleβs Keynote presenting software and does not require any special drivers to be installed in order to user it.
At Cummins it seems that more and more training rooms and conference rooms are ditching traditional projectors and pull down screens for mounted LCD displays like the one you see in the image above. If youβve ever tried to use a common Red laser pointer on an LCD display, you will have noticed that it doesnβt work. The laser point just wonβt show up on the screen. Thatβs where the Green laser comes inβ¦
If you click the image above, youβll see the Green laser pointer on the Black bezel of the LCD display.
And here it is on the display itself. It does show up where a Red laser wonβt, but itβs really tiny dot of light. Depending on what is being displayed on the screen, people more than a few feet away might not be able to see it. It does work best on lighter backgrounds though.
Here are a few notes from Greg after he used the Presenter Pro for a few days.
Positives:
* The intensity of the green laser while still being absorbed by an LCD screen is still visible unlike many red laser devices whose laser beam is absorbed by the LCD screens.
* The ergonomics of the device is a major improvement over the older Kensington products that I have used in the past.
* The on/off switch is a nice addition that has been available on other products.
* The βblank screenβ button is a nice feature that was not available on other presenting devices that Iβve tried. It allows the presenter to keep the audience focused on the item the presenter is wishing to have focused on instead of on the image on the screen.
Negatives:
* I have used devices that include timers as part of the package and have proven very beneficial when a presentation is required to be held to a specific time frame.
The fact that Greg has continued to use the Kensington Wireless Presenter Pro Green Laser Pointer, is probably the best recommendation that I can offer people considering such a purchase.

Wow, presenters are really becoming sleek and shiny
Back in 2006, I reviewed a Kensington presenter and it looks huge and clunky in comparison!

Thank you for the review and info about red and green laser visibility on the Black bezel of the LCD display.
The Logitech’s red laser in their R400 presentrer is terrible weak even on the projector canvas.
We just received this exact pointer with green pointer. You can only see it if you are sitting exactly in the center of the TV.
Is this presenter still worth buying?
In another review I found Logitech latest model Wireless Presenters what you thought about this.
Kensington Wireless Presenter Pro with Green Laser Pointer is one of my favourite Presenter.
