Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote - Universal Wireless Presentation Clicker with Laser Pointer, Advanced Digital Highlighting, Bluetooth, 30 m Range and Quick Charging - Black

This is a great product!! I use a Macbook Pro and this is the 3rd time I've purchased this product. I lent out my first one (And didn't get it back! LOL), I gave away my 2nd one to a guest speaker at an event I sponsored - he loved it so much! And this purchase replaces that one -- so I am sold on this product and hope they continue to make them -- they have several great features, spotlight, timers, and a couple of main shortcut buttons -- so easy to use. I won't give a presentation without it!!

I am absolutely over the moon about this clicker. I finally found one that works with Keynote Speaker on iPad - which is what I use to teach in the classroom (routed to the in-class projector).If you are in a similar boat as myself, and were out of luck on a clicker that would work with this setup - this one from Logitech does the trick! For two years now, I have been reduced to carrying around a bluetooth keyboard hitting the down button for each new slide as I ran throughout the classroom trying to teach simultaneously (Logitech Keys-to-go, if anyone is interested), but that was super unwieldy, as you can imagine, and I kept leaving it in places and the students had to help me find all my stuff. One week, I actually wore a server's apron to get it all done, lol (okay, but embarrassing).(Also, the keys-to-go just finally up and died on me. Still works as a keyboard, just not as a slide advancer... huh.)Now, finally: this little clicker. I can carry it with me and teach from wherever. It works from any place in the classroom, which is rather large (classroom, not lecture hall).Now, to find skirts with functional pockets, so that I can actually teach hands-free... augh. Anyways, it beats carrying around a keyboard.

It's the simple things in life that give us the most pleasure. I foolled around with cheap remotes for year before finally finding one that allows me to fully integrate my graphics into my 2.5 hour presenatation. As a professional speaker you must be fully comfortable to be able to totally concentrate and speak freely. Fumbling with slides distracts attendees from your point, and eats into your credibility. The Spotlight device is easy to use, reliable, strudy and well crafted with lots of additional features if choose - functioning so smoothly that it's almost second nature. Charging is a snap and battery life is extraordinary. If you're a pro - get this thing. I cannot recommended it more highly.

I've used several other presentation controllers over the years, and this one wins in a walk-off! It's completely intuitive, charges quickly and holds its charge, and is feather-light, easy to hold and, and easy manipulate unobtrusively. Works seamlessly with MS PowerPoint and, when used in PPT's "presenter view", displays a great count-down timer and haptic alert when halfway through your presentation time limit. Installation is a no-brainer - just plug the USB dongle into your laptop and you're good to go (unless you want to set up advanced features like the timer and highlight/magnifier features, which is a breeze to do).It doesn't have a laser pointer, but the highlight/magnifier is better, IMHO, although it does take a bit of getting used to. It comes without a charging brick, but by now you probably have more than enough of them, in addition to the USB ports on your laptop. The charging cable is USB-A to USB-C, so your spare USB mini and micro cables won't work. But the plus side is that the USB-C can be plugged into the Spotlight in either horizontal orientation - no squinting at the port and plug to sort out up or down. It charges almost instantly, and no batteries to fuss with. At a bit under 6", the supplied charging cable risks getting lost, so I keep my cable plugged into a charger at home, and give the Spotlight a fresh charge (a minute or so) while I'm packing my kit to take on the road.Everything else is there - a way to manually emphasize areas of a slide that is much more effective than a laser dot, a simple way to blank and restore the screen, no-brainer slide advance and back, and all of this in a slim, 3-button stick. If you do much presenting, this is the new gold standard, and well worth the price.

I bought this to replace the presentation controls in PowerPoint such as the "laser" pointer and magnify features. The remote is built well and connectivity is good seeing how you have two option such as a USB dongle and Bluetooth and the quick charge is a plus but in terms of functionality, it is a big let down. All this device does is replicate your mouse pointer. This is a huge let down as I like to have Presenter mode on my laptop while I project my main slides onto a bigger screen. This means I cannot scroll down the comments I made to keep track of talking points. I had to readjust the pointer to my laptop and then to the big screen constantly in my last presentation and that took time (even though its seconds which seems like forever when waiting for a speaker to talk cause he is fidgeting with his laptop). If you do not readjust the mouse to the bigger screen then you will end up magnifying or highlighting your laptop screen which was very frustrating. Trying to go from laptop screen to bigger screen by swinging your arm around is like trying to use a Nintendo Wii remote. I feel you are better off buying Logitech's (or other brands) lower end remote for the laser pointer and the forward and back buttons for slides as opposed to buying this item for ~$100.
