Question
Is there a remote control made that has a receiver that plugs into the USB port on a laptop computer that allow the user to click the remote to change PowerPoint slides?

Background
I purchased a Proxima DP6150 Video Projector and ceiling mounted it. The video cable that takes the video to the projector is 50 feet long. USB cord maximum length is 15 feet,; therefore, I cannot use my Promima remote control to change the PowerPoint slides on the Laptop. The IR remote control mouse only has a max range on 6 feet.

Thanks
