Thread: Apacer AB611

The Apacer AB611 is a wireless pointing remote, meant to be used as a presentation tool. With a tool like this, there isn't a need for a separate individual to operate the slides for you.

The design is very basic and the material used is plastic. It could have been sturdier device, though. The receiver for this wireless remote is a USB dongle, which is also a flash drive.

There is a set of six buttons in all. Four keys are used for the Page up and down function. There are keys for the left and right click but they're too tiny in comparison. It doesn't take too long to get used to this. The performance of the device isn't extraordinary as far as smoothness of the pointer goes. We were able to control it well over 12 ft without any problems. The device has a built-in laser that can be used to point out things. We tested the flash drive and were disappointed with the speeds. Data write speeds were around 4.3 MB/s and read speeds hovered around 13 MB/s. There was a noticeable amount of stuttering visible on the mouse pointer while using the remote with the transfers running in the background.

The device is a good-utility for anyone who gives presentations on a large screen. The bundled flash drive means that you can carry you presentations and other content that you need on it wherever you go.
