"If you often present PowerPoint slides, you've probably yearned to be untethered from your laptop...[Atek's Tote-Remote]...performed nicely up to 30 feet away from my notebook....It did work as soon as I plugged in its USB RF receiver...and it fits snugly in one hand." Michael Laskey, PC World


"A remote that makes things rote for presenters."
Ian Austen, The New York Times


"If you do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, you need two accessories: a laser pointer and a way to control your Mac remotely. Atek's Tote-Remote rolls both of these presenters' staples into one slick little device....We pity the [people] who have to give PowerPoint presentations, but the Tote-Remote at least makes it a little bit fun."
Niko Coucouvanis, MacAddict


"Every now and then you find a computer add-on so practical and useful that it makes you wonder how you ever got along without it. If you use a laptop to show Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, get ready to send me a thank-you e-mail. The Tote-Remote add-on from a company called Atek is going to make your life as a road warrior much easier....See why this is such a cool device? In the past, I'd pack a mouse in my laptop bag. That at least let me walk back in front for the length of the cable. I've used a wireless mouse several times, too, but the mouse itself and the wireless receiver were just bulky enough to overstuff my bag. The Tote-Remote is so small that it's no hassle to bring along....I'm becoming a huge fan of Atek.... Another product they make, the Super Mini Optical Mouse, is well worth checking out if you regularly use a laptop."
Mike Wendland, Detroit Free Press


"Atek keeps making great products for mobile workers. The last Atek item we tested was the Super Mini Optical Mouse, a two-button mouse that was very mobile. Now comes the Tote-Remote, an outstanding product that lets you control your PowerPoint presentations wirelessly....Our tests revealed the remote worked with several cube walls in the way and from the 30-foot limit."
Keith Shaw, Network World


"Atek's remote mouse is a winner. As someone who makes many professional presentations as part of my career, I have tried out many "remote mice" that let speakers advance Microsoft PowerPoint presentations at a distance instead of having to return to the laptop to advance the slides. Some have been a pain to install (or uninstall when you are done) and others require you to stay within "line of sight" with your laptop or the receiver. At last, someone has gotten this right. Atek Electronics has released the "Tote-Remote," a small receiver that plugs into the laptop's USB port and starts working immediately. It works up to 30 feet from the laptop and includes a laser pointer. In my tests, it worked flawlessly. It was simple to operate and use, and it included both page up and scroll. No drivers needed to be installed - just plug and go....The same company also offers a small optical mouse for laptop use on the road - a great idea if you hate trackpads and other small mice. It also is simple to install and works great." [Customers please note: technically the Tote-Remote is not a "mouse" because it does not control the arrow - Atek James Derk, Evansville Courier & Press / Scripps Howard News Service
