My presenter remote (same one you bought, in black since $2 cheaper) arrived today. I can't get it to work yet with KindleLazy, but I'm not sure where the fault is. The presenter instructions say the dongle should have a blue light with each button press; it doesn't. So maybe I haven't gotten THAT working yet.

However: I also tried the "screen upside down" function of KindleLazy. Let me tell ya .... That was quite a trip.
(A) pressing it caused a kindle reset is that expected? I didn't expect it, but am willing to believe it might be what you planned.
(B) The screen upside downed quite nicely. However, without a working remote, I had to navigate by touching the screen. (KT3) The screen still required me to press where the buttons USED to be. I tried to start KUAL again to turn it off (after seeing how well it rotated the screen). Instead of KUAL, I got the book which would have been in that spot if the screen were not upside down. Okayyyy. I tried to exit that book, and had to blindly locate the opposite corner from where the house actually appeared, but where it originally would have been. Got a couple of option screens and had to find the right opposite place to make them go away. Finally found the house and got back to "home".

I finally exited the book. Trying again for KUAL, I pressed the book (above) and voila, got KUAL. I had to experiment quite a bit to find where KindleLazy would have been, if the screen weren't upside down. Then ditto for the "undo upside downess " button.

Whew! That was quite a trip (felt like I was "on" something!)

I suspect I could have restarted the kindle, instead, to make it go away?

Now, back to getting that presenter remote to work. I don't suggest trying the upside down mode without a presenter!!
