Client generated video review
"Apart from the awesome in-app functionality, Sofa Control additionally works great with other applications such as Keynote, Preview, iTunes, and Quicktime. You can easily flip through slides in a presentation or play a Quicktime file, all with a click of your Apple Remote. A new cool addition to Sofa Control is the Mouse Light which highlights your mouse with a yellow circle, similar to Mouseposé. This feature is very helpful when giving presentations."
