Designed For PowerPointMake no mistake, the Penta Sport was designed for PowerPoint*. Our engineers set out to create a no nonsense, high performance, simple to use, long range, remote mouse for presentation applications like PowerPoint, Keynote, or any other type of presentation software. They did such a good job on the "mini joystick" that the Penta Sport is suitable for more than just PowerPoint. Heck, it makes a great general purpose remote mouse whether you need the long range or not.
Why is it called the Sport?Good Question. We called it the Sport because of its black sporty styling and the rubber like plastic finish. The finish looks and even feels like rubber, but it's just a special process that they apply to the plastic. When most people think of a "sport" model they tend to think that it is water proof. However, the Penta Sport is NOT water proof or water resistant or anything like that. The Penta Sport is sporty in many respects like the stylish appearance, the ergonomic design, and the high performance receiver, but just remember it's not water proof.
How does it compare with the original?The Penta Laser Mouse has been around since 2002 and during that time it evolved a little, but always kept the same ergonomic design. The new Penta Sport is about the same size, but has a different shape. Is it still ergonomic? The answer is yes, it is still very ergonomic. It feels as natural in your hand as the original. The most interesting improvement is that the Laser Button is now located on the bottom side like a trigger. This makes finding the Laser Button easy even in dark rooms. The bottom line is that if you liked the original Penta Laser Mouse then you're going to love the new Sport!
