I plan on getting the new iWork '09 and will be doing a Keynote presentation in a month or two. I have been looking for those remotes to advance and go back slides...I have been able to find no Mac ones that are inexpensive. :| Anyone know of one that's cheap...under $40?

Thanks

Do you already have an iPhone or iPod touch? They act as great remotes for iWork '09. The Keynote Remote app is only $0.99.

The standard Apple Remote works very well, too. It's $19.

Thanks for the Apple Remote idea...but I'd like something with a built-in laser pointer too :) . I know I can just use a separate laser pointer but simplicity is good :D

LOL :p . But also...Apple Remote is IR. :| Very limited distance and must be in line of sight of receiver on MacBook.

I use the Logitech Presenter (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/presentation_remote/devices/175&cl=us,en). I do many presentations and IMO this is one of the best clickers. The website does not show Mac support, but it does plugs and plays with Mac Al and Powerpoint. I just tried it again to be sure. Unfortunately I do not know if it works for Keynote.

I installed the Keynote app yesterday - very good. Heres my video review (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_NrNi2P4Ur0) on it. Personally, I love it.

We have this one, and it is really nice:

Works on macs too


I've also heard good things about this one, but I cannot say from personal experience

Use the Apple Remote and Sofa Control. The Apple Remote does up to 30 feet.
