Hi Stephen,

I have a
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Targus-PAUM35E-Wireless-Presenter/dp/B0000AKL35 it
presents itself as a USB Mouse and a 2-key USB Keyboard. The central circle
is a 4 way rocker mouse control and the two button below act either as mouse
buttons or as previous slide / next slide buttons in Powerpoint.

According to one of the reviewers on Amazon it works with Linux, although I
haven't tried this myself. I suspect that OpenOffice uses the same keys for
next/previous slide as Powerpoint, so it should work fine.
