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.

I picked up a Kensington Wireless Presentation Remote today in hopes of using it when presenting at Rev seminars like <http://techietours.com>.

But while Kensington normally makes pretty good stuff, the manual only says "Works with most presentation software like PowerPoint and Keynote", and it doesn't say what events it's sending. Since I make my own presentations in Rev I need to know what events it uses so I can write handlers for them.

Here's the weird part:

I made a fresh stack and put in rawKeyDown, rawKeyUp, appleEvent, arrowKey, functionKey, keyDown and keyUp handlers -- none of them get triggered when I try using the wireless device.

Any of you familiar enough with presentation tools to know what sorts of events I should be looking for?

I have a call into Kensington and their Indian suppport center says they'll have a programmer get back to me, but who knows how long that'll take. If any of you know how these things works it'd be much appreciated.
