Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech 2.4 GHz Cordless Presenter (Black)
Customer Review: Superb design and performance
Summary: 5 Stars
After having run back and forth repeatedly between podium and laptop to change slides during Power Point shows, I finally got smart and acquired this terrific presenter by Logitech. Small (fits easily in a pocket), foolproof, reliable and simple to use, this presenter represents a triumph of design. Insert a small detachable receiver, housed in the device,into a USB port in your computer, turn on the switch and you're off and running. The presenter lauches your Power Point program, advances or backs up your slides at the touch of a button, turns on a black screen if you desire and even includes an easily set timer which signals 5 and 2 minutes from the planned end of the presentation by vibrating. It also has a red laser pointer, a volume control for presentations which include audio and runs on 2 AAA cells for months. It comes with a soft case for protection, but is very durable. This is a reasonably priced must-have for anyone who does much Power Point presenting.Customer Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Logitech Presenter does everything it claims it will do - easily and flawlessly. No software to install, virtually no learning curve at all - you just plug it in and it works.
From other reviews I had read, I was a little concerned that the laser pointer would not remain sharp over a long distance. But I gave a presentation in an auditorium last week, and, from about 75 feet away, it was fine.
Since the Presenter has no remote mouse function, I did have to go over to my laptop to right-click on the screen in order to go directly to a slide that was 10 slides back from where I was in my presentation. (I did not want to step sequentially back through 10 slides on the screen, which I could have done with the Presenter.) So, next time I would put more importance on buying a presenter with remote mouse function; but, I'd also want it to have the compactness and ease of use of this one.
Overall, an excellent, high-quality product.
Customer Review: Great product for Powerpoint road-warriors
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 4th remote presentation controller I have owned in a decade and is by far the best. By best I am referring to the ergonomics (size and weight-it fits discretely & comfortably in the hand), reliability (doesn't "miss" clicks, even in large auditoriums), and features.
For me the key "everyday" features are the countdown timer on the remote (that has a display of time remaining and also sounds/vibrates warnings), the detachable USB dongle (that fits inside the main body when not in use, and so is less likely to get lost) and the ability to "blackout" the displayed screen (useful if you want to pause your presentation for audience participation or at a break).
In common with many remotes the Logitech also includes a laser pointer which works OK but like the others is somewhat weak especially against a white/light slide background.
Overall, a great product at a good price.

I work as the head of Training & Development for a $1.3 billion company, and I've trained thousands of hours worth of workshops. I use a company supplied remote that was about $116. Recently I bought this $48 Logitech 2.4 GHz remote for my wife to use in her business. All I can say is that I like it TIMES better than my expensive one. It is well thought out and designed and worked straight out of the box, first time and every time, with no fuss or "installation". It has several features that my expensive remote doesn't have, and it simply works much better. I especially like the on/off switch, so it won't waste batteries if a button stays pressed for days because it was mashed in a crowded case.
I recently went to the IT Purchase guy at my company and told him that from now on, he should skip the expensive models and only buy the Logitech for our trainers. If you try it, you'll love it too.

I learned about this wireless tool as I watched a presentation just before mine. I asked her if I could borrow it for my own presentation and shazam, I was free from the tether. Used to use my long wired remote mouse but still had to wander back to the laptop and take my eye and attention off the audience. With this presenter in hand I can "work the room" and stay focused on the crowd. I can blank the screen and go forward and backward. It has a laser pointer and a timer that lets me know on a buzz setting (or stun, as I like to say). And it's small so it fits in the palm of my hand still allowing me freedom to gesture as needed. The USB thumb-drive-like wireless link sets inside the end of the device when not in use and there is a nice little soft case to keep it cozy in my computer bag. I consider it an invaluable part of my presentation tool kit.
