    In a few months I'll be giving a lot of presentations in a classroom
    setting. As I like to walk around during a presentation, it's rather
    inconvenient that I have to walk back to my laptop to press the spacebar for
    the next sheet or animation element.

    Recently I saw someone give a presentation using some kind of wireless
    handheld device that allowed him to remotely press the "next sheet" button.
    It wasn't a mouse, but some kind of small stick with just a button on it.
    Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to ask him what device it was.

    Does anyone here have any ideas?
