There are a lot of remote presenter and PowerPoint clickers out there, but for lots of things like this (wireless laptop accessories – mouse/keyboard combos, remote presenters, USB cameras, etc.), Logitech is my go-to vendor. I have been disappointed by other vendors over the years, but so far, never disappointed with Logitech kit.And so this nice little easy to use, palm-sized presenter remote has proven. It does everything I need – forward, backward, and “return focus to PowerPoint” buttons all work as expected. My cat loves the laser pointer, and is writing his own review that you should ignore because he does eventually get frustrated with that damned dot that he can’t catch.Sometimes the laser pointer works for presenting, mostly it does not these days, due to either a glass screen on large TVs in use today, or one-way screens for rear projection that the laser does not show up on… but none of that’s a ding on the presenter remote, which projects a very nice laser beam. It’s more a commentary on our need to be flexible when traveling and presenting in various environments.I have walked 30-40 feet away from the laptop doing presentations, and had no issues with advancing my slides. I can’t really imagine getting much further from the laptop and screen, and not losing my audience, so as far as I’m concerned, this has all the distance I’ll ever need. I can’t advise on the max distance, since I’ll never go looking for those limits, but it’s lots further than 40 feet.Lastly, this is a very pleasant device to hold and use, in an ergonomic sense. It is extremely well-designed for the human hand, and I would say for any size of human hand. Many of these I’ve owned and used as loaners from various venues are straight tube shapes, cylindrical, longer than necessary, slightly unwieldy and awkward feeling in your hand. This one – from the first second, it was comfortable and the buttons are just where they should be for easy, intuitive use. Exactly what I wanted, and what I’ve come to expect from Logitech – my go-to for stuff like this. FIVE STARS, no dings, all good, highly recommended.Boot-note: this one has no timer function. Logitech makes a couple with that feature, but I don’t find it useful and don’t want to pay $20 extra for a feature I don’t need. Your call entirely which way to go on that consideration, but I’m extremely pleased with my choice and my new toy.

I am a teacher and I purchased this presentation remote after damaging my previous one beyond repair, a Targus (I’m not sure of the model number). The previous Targus remote that I had opened up to keep the USB radio transmitter, held a spare battery, had the ability to move the mouse pointer (albeit very slowly) with both left and right click, volume control, a laser pointer, a toggle switch for Mac, PC, and PPT, and (of course) worked with presentations. I was quite disappointed when it was damaged.I searched on Amazon for either that model of remote or something similar. I came across the Logitech R400 at that time. The price point was in my range, but it was “only” a remote. This made me apprehensive as it did not have all of the capabilities of my previous remote. After analyzing how I really used the remote during a presentation and reading the rave reviews (and my previous happy experience with Logitech products), I decided to take a chance on this remote.I am very pleased with the R400. It comes with a nice little carrying case and battery (nice touch, in my opinion). It works equally well on my Mac and my Windows machines (Windows 7 & 8). I have used this remote with Keynote, PowerPoint (Windows and Mac), and Prezi. The “blank screen” and “start presentation” buttons are a nice touch, especially the “blank screen” button. As a teacher, sometimes you want to hide the presentation for a moment. However, I have only used these buttons with PowerPoint in Windows. I have not yet tried them with any other OS and software combination.The presenter fits very well in my hand. The remote has a slightly rubbery feel and I am not worried about it leaping from my hand during a presentation (I am very animated when making presentations). It stores the USB radio receiver in the base of the unit (you should be able to see that feature in the product pictures). I was concerned that when the receiver was not in the unit that this void would impact the feel of the remote. However, I never notice the gap when the remote is in my hand.The laser pointer is reasonable. I probably wouldn’t rely on it in an auditorium with a very large screen, but in my classroom (which has a reasonably large size screen for the projector), it works very well.The power switch is on the side. I am not worried about it being accidentally powered on while in the carrying case. However, I do occasionally forget to turn it off. While this is my problem, my previous remote did have have an auto-off function to save the battery if I did not use for a very long period. But the battery life seems to be excellent with this remote. I have had the remote for a little over a month. With nearly daily use for several hours a day and accidentally leaving it powered on several times overnight, I am still on the same battery. I would not be able to say that about my previous remote (which had a spare battery for a reason).In regards to effective range, I cannot offer too much guidance. I use the remote in a classroom and it has absolutely no problem. Also, we have a large amount of radio/wireless traffic in our environment. While this radio traffic sometimes interferes with the each other, I have not had any issues with the remote. But I have not used it in auditorium setting, so I cannot say whether this remote would be effective in that environment.Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone needing a presentation remote. It does not have any of the extra features to which I was accustomed, but I have discovered that I also do not miss those features.

I bought this on the spur of the moment for a live PowerPoint presentation I had to give the following day. I was very impressed with the ergonomics, the wireless range, and the smooth operation. It easily exceeded my expectations–so much that I was motivated to write this glowing review. I couldn’t be happier.I didn’t even need to pick up the manual. It was literally plug and play with my Windows 11 laptop and PowerPoint from Windows 365 Enterprise.The timer was my favorite bonus item. It was easy to set and use. The vibrations to warn me my time was running out were subtle but noticeable, so nobody near me heard any kind of buzzing sound from it.That one feature alone made me appear to be really professional by having time to summarize myself and end right on time.I didn’t set up the volume control feature, so I didn’t rate it, but I will be trying it in the future.This is definitely my new favorite work tool! A+++

This is the best presenter out there. The green laser is pretty awesome and shows up in the day easily. The range is fantastic.My favorite feature is the timer. I had to give presentations all summer in front of thousands of people. I had to be exactly 7 mins. I loved that this vibrated to let me know how much time i had left, and I amazed people that I was able to land perfect 7 minute presentations down to almost the second without using a confidence monitor or timer on stage.I like that this comes with a nice carrying case and I also like that the usb dongle fits into the body of the device. The range of this blows other presenters out of the water. I have had range problems in the past when my computer is way in the back of the auditorium in the graphics booth and Im hundreds of feet away on the stage. This presenter doesn’t skip a beat and even shows you your range status on the screen if you want to see it. I virtually never used the screen though. I thought it was a little pointless, I would almost have preferred it was removed and they could have made the device smaller.The only bad thing about this presenter is its’ size. Its very comfortable to hold, but I wish it was the length of the R400, which is equally comfortable but because of no screen, it is shorter and doesn’t poke out of your hand. The ergonomics of this are designed in a way that it pokes out from your hand (so you can see the screen i suppose). The screen is a gimmick honestly, I don’t know how you would realistically look at this screen DURING a presentation. There is no backlight and it would just be too hard to see and definetely too hard to glance at. If you do a lot of presenting you know that you have to spend 99.9% of your time looking at the audience. Even looking down for 2 seconds will horribly distract everyone. I usually allow myself 2 times to glance at the confidence monitor during a presentation and I do it for less than a second. I am just making sure I am on the slide that I expect to be on. So the screen on this device would be way too distracting to actually use. Aside from the fact that it would be too hard to see in the dark, you would have to pull your hand up to your face too see it. I can’t imagine anyone uses it.Aside from the screen which I think they should just remove, or make it smaller and pull it lower on the device so I can use it during setup, but not during the show. I think this is the best presenter out there. The range and timer alone are reason enough to get it if you do anything serious with presenting. If you present very casually, and infrequently then it might be overkill. The R400 might be a better choice in that case. But if you present on a stage, then you really need the added range, and the green laser if you want to use this in a large setting or auditorium.Just be careful, after a few months, you will have a list of people requesting to borrow this thing for their own presentations. Powerful people just say no ;-)

Read the reviews and determined that this was the better product vs. the generic one. I also own the lower cost R400 “red” laser presenter by Logitech. They both use the same size dongle but this one has a few more features.First Impression: Same design and handling as the lower cost Logitech R400. Same dongle size, same feel and handling which is great. The timer and battery indicator on the LCD are a nice touch if you present frequently and need to keep to your time. Good presenters don’t actually need those tools as they can set the pace to the time allotted. The green laser is definitely more visible on a screen, although it is also hardly visible on a TV like the R400 version, so no plus there.Essentially, a well made product, I absolutely love Logitech products and own a lot of them.Pro’s: WOrks right our of the box. Batteries are included. The setup is pretty intuitive and easy to use. Green laser is easier to see on a screen and works really well. Dongle slot on the presenter is tight and there is also a small zippered carrying case.Con’s: No big improvements over the R400 for the price charged. The dongle is relatively big for what this thing does. Why can’t they use the unifying receiver?!?!Final Word: If you want to save a few bucks, go with the R400. They essentially do the same thing. If you do a lot of presentations, this is definitely a worthwhile product to own. Avoid the generic products, you are paying for the brand and quality and something that will work as you expect when you expect.

I’ve been using a simple third-party presenter that is less than a fifth of the price of the R800. However, I wanted to get a proper reputed product with better features and something that would give me peace of mind on the day of the presentation knowing that it will work properly or the battery is strong enough for the laser to be bright.I’ve looked at a few other competing products in the market and saw that the R800 has some great features and albeit the high price tag. The price is justified the moment you start using the it. I considered the R400 as an alternative and decided the R800 is worth the additional pay to get the timer and alert features especially since most of my presentations are under 30 minutes, thus timing being crucial. I’m a Linux user and wanted something that will work out-of-box with it and R800 lived up to my expectations. Nothing else other than connecting the received to a USB port was needed for it to work. All the buttons works with Linux and some may depend on what application you use with it.I’ve used the R800 so far for 2 presentations (and at practice) and it worked out really well. Albeit people reporting problems with the button layout on the remote, I’ve had no problems with using the buttons or accidentally pressing the wrong one. The green laser is bright enough to be clearly visible with even lights on. The nicest feature on the device for me is the timer and the vibrating alerts that you get at 5 minutes, 2 minutes and 0 minutes to the end of the presentation. The device itself is very ergonomic and fits well on your palm. It has a nice soft touch to its feel and doesn’t slip off the hand easily. The remaining-time and battery indicator is clear and intuitive. As some people point out, it would be nice to have the display illuminate (on-demand, which is my preference). The product also comes with a nice protective pouch to store the device in.As with any product, there’s always something someone would find as a possible improvement. Here’s what I’d like to see.*) Illuminated display. On-demand in my case, as I think constant illumination may act as a distraction to the audience.*) The count-down timer once started, can only be paused, but not restarted. The only way I found to restart it, is to reset the timer to the duration and start all over again. This feature will be useful when you practice a presentation and you want to start again at some point.*) A timer only works as a count-down timer. It only counts-up at the end of a presentation. It would be nice to have a mode where the timer works as a count-up timer as well (without any alerts) just so that you can get a feel of how long something takes.*) With such a big receiver being used, maybe a nice feature might be to have some solid-state storage in it as well so that the presentation can be carried together with the device*) I use other Logitech products, therefore it would be nice if this worked with a unifying receiver.However, it has great has some great features already built-in to it and anyone would definitely find it quite useful.

I’m a graduate student who does lots of presentations, so a presenter was a sensible buy for me. When it went on sale for Black Friday I scooped it up, and I just received it today.First of all, it’s smaller than I expected. Even with the picture of it in a man’s hand, it looks about the size of a television remote control. It’s much smaller than that – about half (or maybe a little more) the length of a standard TV remote. It’s difficult to compare it to something else, but I’m a small woman with relatively small hands, and it fits very nicely in my hand. I also gesture a lot when I present, but I don’t feel like this will fly out of my hand because of the rubberized texture to the outside. It also comes with a small pouch. It’s not a cheap, thin plastic or slipcover pouch; it’s the kind of zippered pouch you might buy separately if you needed to, and it looks and feels like it will give good protection to the presenter.Now make no mistake – this is a basic presenter. I was kind of shocked at the price of presenters; a good, multifunction one with mouse features can cost almost $100. But I don’t need a mouse pointer or any of that, so this was perfect. It has a forward button, a back button, a red laser pointer (green ones seem confined to the more expensive models), a “black screen button” which brings the presentation to a blank black screen, and a “play presentation button” which brings the presentation back from black screen mode. Simple. If you need anything more than that you should probably get a more expensive presenter. I do wish that it had an “end presentation” button, though.It’s definitely plug and play. I’m running a Sony VAIO with Windows Vista on it, and I just took the USB dongle out (it stores inside the controller – that shiny black thing at the bottom is the USB dongle), plugged it into my computer, opened a PowerPoint presentation and went to town. No installing drivers or any of that stuff, it just worked.This is a great basic presenter if you do a lot of simple presentations that don’t require a lot of fancy tricks – going to YouTube videos or other resources that are not on PowerPoint. Also, it’s probably not good if you don’t do presentations on plasma or LCD screens; the red laser doesn’t show up well on them, so you’ll need a green one. But if you only do the basic 15-minute conference presentation or simple class lectures without a lot of bells and whistles, this is a great little presenter.As a last note, just for the record, today is Sunday. I have Amazon Prime, so I got free two-day shipping, and not needing it desperately, I just used the free shipping when I ordered it Friday. They used a local courier service to deliver it and everything else I ordered that day on Sunday! Just wanted to note Amazon.com’s great customer service.

I have owned 3 of these pointers. One I lost, one had a fault with the power switch after 6 years. The green laser shows up on projector screens, but not on LCD/LED displays, which require a mechanical pointer.Battery life is good. I can teach about 30 days before the batteries go dead. There is an indicator, so I know when they are getting low.I don’t use the timer, but the screen blanking is useful. One thing I wish it had was a tactile bump on the forward button. Yes, you can tell by position, but a bump would be a bit quicker.These pointers are much better than the infrared pointers that require you to be within 6-8 feet of your computer. I have been walking around a lecture room, 20 feet from my laptop, and the pointer still works to forward/reverse the slides.

This is my third Logitech laser pointer over the past 15-20 years. I use this pointer every day for 10-12 hours per day. I simply wore the other two out. They work great every time reliably with both PC and MAC. The green laser eats batteries since it is more powerful than the red laser but it is more visible. These controllers are the only ones that I have trusted to perform every time. (I have used others that are simply not reliable)My only suggestion is for the Logitech design engineers to design a power cutoff into the device circuit to cut the battery power circuit when the USB adapter is stored back in the device. A very simple and useful design modification to prevent accidental battery discharge while the device is in storage.
