I bought this on a whim to use with my MacBook Pro with Touchbar (late 2016 version). Given the MacBook only has USB-C connections, the Apple dongle from USB-C to standard USB & HDMI allows me to plug in the narrow-sized USB connector that comes with the R800. I had problems plugging in HDMI and my old USB adapter for an older pointer because the adapter was too wide (see pictures). The R800 packaging also notes it is Windows compatible with no mention of Mac support but it did work for me using PowerPoint 2016. The R800 range is 100 feet vs. standard 50 on most other options. The green laser is bright and strong.

The ergonomic design makes it comfortable in the hand. The intuitive layout of the buttons is awesome. The vibrating countdown timer is a great method of keeping presentations on track without a clock which can distract your audience. A great remote for anyone working towards their CTT+ certification.

Logitech - Professional Presenter does the job

This simple device essentially does one thing: it switches slides during a presentation. There are some little things, like textured slideshow buttons and a green laser pointer that has an extreme level of contrast that works even on TVs. All in all, a pretty nice tool for professionals who want to make a good impression with a smooth presentation.

I recently did a joint presentation with 3 other presenters. My session was first and an hour long. First, this is the simplest presenter I ever used. I literally picked it up on the way from the airport, opened it when I got to the hotel and 10 minutes later I had begun my session. I ha no time to read the instructions but luckily there was no need to. It was so simple to use, had a really great distance and all three other presenters used it after me and loved it to. I was afraid I was not going to get it back!! It has a built in timer so you can set a countdown and keep track of your time very efficiently. I also like the built in laser pointer, onboard storage for the USB receiver and the protective case.

It appears Logitech makes a presenter with a 50' range and a 100' range. I purchased the one with the 100' range. I'm able to walk anywhere in a large room and have never had any reception issues. Set-up is a matter of plugging the USB remote into my computer and carrying the presenter with me. I love the capability to turn the screen black after setting the presentation up so that when people walk into the room there isn't anything on the screen. I can also turn the screen black at any time during my talk so people listen to what I'm saying instead of looking at what is on the screen. The laser pointer is very easy to use and doesn't require another device for pointing something out (just remember not to shine that laser into someone's eyes). Forward and reverse buttons make it easy to operate. I have not used the special timer application, but this presenter has definitely made my presentations easy as I'm no longer tied to my computer when presenting.

Now the Shabbat School Teacher can turn the pages!

My mind wanders and when the teacher is trying to give the lesson, I have been known to drift onto a rabbit trail in my head only to be awakened to my name being called because the projection is not keeping up with the speaker. Now that I have this little gadget, the teacher can easily go from slide to slide and back without worrying about the sound man getting lost in some side issue or other and forgetting to advance the screen. Where he teaches is about fifty feet away from the computer in the sound booth and it hasn't missed a beat turning to the next slide.
The Shabbat School teacher really likes the laser pointer! It helps him to draw our attention to exactly what is being covered on the projector quickly, easily and without interrupting the teaching flow.
Installation was hassle free. I just plugged in the receiver and brought up my program of choice. I did add a six foot USB extender just to get the receiver higher in the air for a better reception as opposed to on the floor plugged into the back of the computer. I don't think it was really necessary, but I just wanted to be sure the signal would reach.
I don't know why I didn't get one sooner! I use it with PowerPoint and ZionWorx, (a song presenter). I am very pleased with its performance. It does what is advertised with no surprises. My kind of product!

I speak publicly on a regular basis and use PowerPoint as a teaching tool often. It was important to me to find a presenter that would operate easily and reliably. This unit is larger than some but it still fits comfortably in my hand. I like the green color laser as it is visible in all lighting situations. The counter also helps me keep my programs and speaking engagements in the proper allowed time frame. Another nice feature found on this presenter, especially for those on the go, is that there is a slot for USB receiver to be stored when not plugged into a computer. It has multiple function control buttons that are intuitive and easy to use. I have had no problem using it while walking around a large conference room and even auditoriums.

Got this to replace a much older presentation remote at church. Wanted something with greater range for more consistent performance. This one has been working great.
It is learn and easy to use. Connects to computer quickly with no need to do anything but sticking the dongle into a USB port. Some find the timer feature useful.

I really love this presenter. It is very easy to use, and I really like the green laser vs the red. I love the timing feature, I usually set it up to remind me when I have about 5 minutes left so I can wrap it up. It has a very quick response, you press the forward button and your slide immediately responds, there is no delay at all. The range is amazing as well. It is very comfortable to hold in your hand, and it comes with a very nice carrying case. I highly recommend this presenter.

I teach at a university and I needed a powerful laser pointer and remote control for my powerpoint slides. I was a bit sceptical, the price seemed ok - but you never know what you'll get.
After I brought it home, I plugged the integrated USB remote and it worked straight out of the box. No configuration was needed, laser point was clearly visible from the other side of auditorium and I could advance my slides easily. It has a timer, very useful - I can time my classes and speeches without looking for a wall clock or watch. It has a battery indicator - not just low battery, when you are in class and no spares to replace. A really nice feature. I totally recommend it to any professional or occasional presenter. Completely worth every penny!

Great pointer with great points

I have used different pointers but this is my favorite. It has a very bright and visible laser to highlight your main points and great range. It has a timer which can be set to vibrate to give a warning on when you're getting close to a time. That feature might be useful if giving a presentation in classes that require you to be within a given time or as I use it to remind me to give my classes breaks. This allows me to stop looking at my watch, which might make it seem like I am bored with teaching and less than interested in what I'm lecturing on.
I have nothing bad to say about this pointer. Great point, great points, good price!

Works flawlessly to remotely navigate through a power point presentation. Added bonus over previous model is this has a built in timer with a vibrate alert and the green laser is more easily seen in slightly brighter rooms. Batteries included and last for several months for me.

This remote works great especially when a little extra distance is needed. I purchased this remote because the other one I had, a Targus, just did not reach far enough. So far no issues. The green laser was also a definite plus, although I expected a laser was built in this one is also quite visible at a distance. The bonus was the fact that this remote also has a timer, so yet another problem solved. Easy to set and very easy to tell when time is up because it has a good vibrate. Overall the remote has a very good feel to it, is comfortable and very easy to use.

I purchased this remote for use with my macbook pro using both keynote and power point. The remote works superbly with both programs. I like the green laser as it is different than most remotes and provides an extra emphasis during presentation. The timer feature is also a great feature. No need to keep an eye on the clock. The remote vibrates at intervals of 5, 3, and 1 minute from the countdown timer. Great remote.

Great tool for presentation. Love the timer. The ease of use. You can use it over a great distance! I just wish the laser pointer would show up on a flat screen.
