I'm looking to find this kind of mouse.

It is USB connected so I can plug it in the front ports of the computer

It is wireless.

The mouse part is actually like a remote control. You click the remote control and it acts like a mouse click.


I'd be using it to do things like powerpoint presentations so I don't have to be at the computer to go to the next slide.

I'm sure its available but I don't know what kinds of keywords to search for.

Sounds like a Media Centre Remote Control to me.;)

Yeah that one does look really good. I think I'll go with that. Although it may have one problem

Transmission Distance: 5 meters

I'm thinking that I may be about 7 meters away from the computer. Hmm. But that is really a small step. I wonder if i'll still be safe... (its a fairly large room)
