No it does not perform like an air mouse.

As long as the mouse can communicate with the receiver you can click. The catch is how will you move the mouse to where you want to click. You'll need to have something that you can put it down on (mouse pad, magazine, desk). You could use the palm of your hand, although it's not particularly accurate. Hope that helps.

No. You could potentially use it for a presentation (powerpoint, pdf viewer, keynote, etc.), but you would likely have to put your hand under the sensor after a bit of time, just to wake up the mouse, so that you could right or left click to advance the slides. I couldn't tell you how far away you would have to be, but as this is designed to be near the receiver, I would imagine you couldn't get further than 5-10 feet away.

I would recommend a cheap, wireless slide advancer in your case. Otherwise, you would need to spend a bit more money on a slide advancer that also has a mouse function designed into it, whether it is through motion control or a small nub on the face. Those types of slide advancers are designed to work with a greater distance and offer you a little more functionality for presentations.

You could click, but tracking and moving the cursor would require a surface.

It is not wireless. I use specifically for gaming. Don’t like wireless in this situation....gaming.
