wireless

I'm looking for a wireless gadget to advance PowerPoint slides, and would also work with Keynote or whatever on a Mac.

Sub-questions:

(a) What are these things called, so I can search for them.

(b) What is a reasonable price point - the cheap ones seem to be under $20, and name brand seem to be $40 or $50. Do the cheap no-name devices work?

(c) Specific device recommendations.

Many thanks,

Reid
