Logitech Spotlight Advanced Presentation Remote

This presentation remote works so well — I honestly don’t know how I ever presented without it. The cursor control alone is a game changer. Being able to move around the screen, play videos, click links, and highlight key points without running back to my laptop makes everything feel smoother and more professional. The highlighting feature is my favorite part — instead of a shaky little laser dot, you can actually spotlight and magnify exactly what you want people to look at. It’s perfect for in-person, virtual, and hybrid presentations. The vibration timing alerts are also clutch. I program my time markers and get subtle reminders right in my hand so I know when it’s time to move on or wrap it up — without awkwardly checking the clock. It connects easily with Bluetooth or the USB receiver, works with every platform I use (PowerPoint, Google Slides, PDFs), and the battery life is solid with quick charging. Bottom line: If you present even semi-regularly, this remote instantly levels you up. It’s one of those tools that quietly makes everything look more polished and under control — even when you’re absolutely winging it on the inside. 😌

This is a great remote for presenters. It has three modes: highlight, magnify, and pointer. The highlight mode is spectacular and allows the presenter to have the audience focus on a highlighted circular region of their slide with a darker mask over the balance of the slide. Similarly, the magnify option zooms on a circular region. The pointer mode has been updated to allow for selectable color pointers. Logitech recommends using two of the three modes for a presentation and this is very good advice. I also recommend practicing a few times before your first presentation and adjusting the size of the figures, text, and the Spotlight pointers to give the best fit with the different modes. Spotlight and the Logitech Presentation software worked well on my MacBook Pro (mid 2014). until Apple released the macOS High Sierra supplemental update. The presentation software does not run after the update and now the only functions of the Spotlight are to advance one slide or go back one slide. Effectively it became a very elegant set of arrow keys. It was very difficult to deal with the Logitech customer support. Their phone system is terrible and suffers from very poor audio connections. Register the device and then use the online chat for product support. After a very long wait (45 minutes) and then another 20 minutes of chat exchanges, I was asked to upload a system report to Logitech. Miraculously the next day a new software version (1.30.60) appeared on their website and the Logitech Spotlight and Presentation software are again working flawlessly on my MacBook Pro. It is a five star product with poor direct customer support, but the software team is great. The good... Great remote for presentations Bluetooth connectivity provides fantastic range between presenter and the computer Presentation effects have great impact. The Spotlight feature is fantastic, Software updates have made the "pointer" customizable Superior to the other Logitech multi-button pointers The bad... Product support is sketchy and extremely slow

I just picked one up to teach some classes that rely on PowerPoint presentations and I’m very impressed with the Logitech Spotlight — I actually bought a second one as a gift for my training counselor. I was originally looking for a presenter with a laser, but the added functionality of a digital presenter outweigh a laser’s ability to work with non-screen mediums. I haven’t had any issues with the device or software. One of the more popular reviews indicates that the software doesn’t work well with a wireless projector — I’m using a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter with my Logitech Spotlight, and while there is some lag, it is a very usable setup and I love not needing another wire plugged into my laptop. Since I prefer not having wires and dongles, I am using Bluetooth to connect to the Spotlight, which hasn’t had any range or responsiveness issues. I wish there was better, printed Getting Started documentation. One thing that will likely confuse new users is that there is no ON/OFF switch or button combination. Also, the buttons could be softer and quieter — they make a clicking sound that is very noticeable in a small room. On the software side, I wish the “laser pointer” emulation had an option for a solid shape instead of a colored outline, a dot would be easier to pick up by the audience. The magnifier has exceeded my expectations by rendering higher quality details than I thought it would, I expected a blockier magnification. I’m torn about the usefulness of the included soft case. It only accommodates the Spotlight itself and not the charging cable, if you try to stuff the cable in there as well you will undoubtedly scratch the finish of the presenter. Since a full charge is expected to last several months you shouldn’t need the cable often, but if you separate the two you will eventually misplace the cable or not have it when you really need it (the recessed nature of the USB-C port on the Spotlight makes it difficult to use a standard cable for charging).

Es muy práctico y versátil, para mi caso fue un buena elección.

This is like a laser pointer on steroids. When doing live presentations I shied away from using a laser pointer because the small red dot was hard to see, and I ended looking at the screen instead of my audience. This works online with any screen share. I use it in my Zoom or any other conferencing software, and even when using a screen share. It helps to draw your virtual audience into the presentation. In a meeting it helps to be sure everyone is looking at the data I am referring to. A cinch to set up and easy to use.

Very elegant, easy to use and reselient

Muito bom mesmo, o melhor. Que já comprei.

Rarely you'll find something that is designed so well that its brilliance dazzles you each time you use it. I know I'm completely smitten by it but surely for right reasons. Amazingly well crafted product that is joy to hold in hands and when you hear that satisfying click of supremely tactile buttons. Even the desktop application is so well designed. One can control literally anything with it. The size of the pointer, colour, magnifying area, highlight area, literally everything can be controlled by the app. It can easily be used as an air mouse also. In other words its use is not limited to just presentations alone, you can demonstrate web applications or other native apps remotely with it I can never imagine anything better than this as a presentation tool. Highly, highly recommended!!
