In this article I reviewed the Logitech wireless presenter. It is in my opinion the best remote control to use with Keynote. That particular Logitech remote has been replaced by the new Logitech R400 which is just as good. The only problem with it (as with the old model) is that it has 2 small buttons, one which completely exits out of your keynote presentation! The last thing you want is to press the wrong button and be taken out of your keynote back to the desktop.
With the old model you needed to unsolder the switch beneath the buttons to disable them but with the new model they can simply be disabled with a knife. This article describes how to disable the extra 2 buttons. It really is a simple procedure and doesn’t even require any soldering!
