I get the sense something about Ventura is borking the way Logitech devices connect via Bluetooth. Just wanted to add a data point. My r500 presenter isn't connecting or functioning via Bluetooth. It looks like my Mac recognizes the device but can't make the connection. Connecting via the dongle seems to work (though seriously Logitech it's been years and there is no native usb-c dongle?), but Bluetooth is the easier option. I hope that Logitech is able to provide a fix sooner rather than later.
So, I'm missing something? The green battery symbol glows for a few seconds if I turn the device on. The 'handbook' was not very useful (don't know if a short green glow of the battery symbol indicates low battery, anyway the laser pointer seems to work). If I try to use the presenter with OO impress it doesn't work.
If giving presentations is a part of your job, you should definitely take a look at our two new presenters: the Logitech Professional Presenter R800 and the Logitech Wireless Presenter R400. The R800 presenter is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in August. The R400 presenter should be available beginning in September. Both products will also be available through Logitech for Business channels.
I am a huge fan of Logitech products and have used your cordless mouse almost my entire career. I am however disappointed that this new exciting mouse as well as the previous presenter do not have software written for MAC, it has forced me to buy other brands presenter instead. I sincerely hope you guys can write the LCC software for MAC users to use for their Keynote software.
I manage a resale operation at UMaine. 68% of our faculty and students purchase Macs. This year we have sold over 1039 macs and 493 windows machines. We love Logitech products, and are amazed that the Mac plaform was not adequately addressed for the R400 and R800 presenters. Please let us know when this compatibility problem is solved as we want to hang some for sale in our store. Best, Doug
A wireless presenter is a very useful device for switching between the full-screen slides in a presentation. This document explains how to remap the keys of the presenter, to make it work with a specific presentation software.
A wireless presenter is basically just a wireless keyboard with very few keys. The most important of these keys are the Next and Previous keys, which are supposed to switch to the next and previous slide in the presentation, respectively.
In many presenters, the Next and Previous keys are mapped to Page Down and Page Up. This means that pressing the Next key on the presenter is really just the same thing as pressing Page Down on the computer keyboard.
These default functions of presenter keys are chosen like this, because many presentation applications (for example, Microsoft Power Point) used Page Up and Page Down to switch between slides in presentation mode.
This allows that the application-specific remappings of a device apply really only to this application, and not to other applications for which they might be inappropriate. For example, the presenter key remappings for Preview make no sense for Microsoft Power Point.
However, we could define another remapping for the same presenter device, but targeted at the Power Point application. Then, whenever we use the presenter with Preview, the Preview remapping applies, and whenever we use the presenter with Power Point, the Power Point remapping applies.
The same instructions apply to any other combinations of presenter and presentation application. You just have to adapt the key mappings, app ID, vendor ID, and product ID in the configuration JSON file accordingly, as explained below.
The above file is specific to the Preview app and the Logitech R700 presenter. If you want to adapt it to another app and device, you have to adapt the app IDs, vendor IDs and product IDs accordingly, as described further below.
For example, I remapped the keys of my presenter to the keyboard shortcuts used by the Google Play Music player (running in a web browser). In this way, I can use the presenter as a remote control for my music player.
Using the pointer has been a breeze so far. For my first presentation, I glided through with minimal time wastage and barely any technical trouble when using the remote. Plus, the Logitech Spotlight is also compatible with most types of presentation software, including PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi and even Google Slides, which makes it a handy tool for most presenters, including myself as I like to dabble with different software.
Logitech's "Cube" is a tiny, handheld wireless-presenter gadget and a mouse for your PC. CIO.com blogger Paul Mah puts the Cube to work during a handful of presentations to see how it holds up to real-world use.
A Targus wireless pointer is a stylish and functional tool that elevates your public speaking experience. Our bluetooth presentation remote is a workplace essential you never knew was something you could live without until now. Our bluetooth presenters are easy to store and will fit any Targus bag.
I have a Logitech R400 presenter which has four buttons: Left, Right, Present and Screen. It's connected to USB. Left/Right work out of the box and map to Page-Up/Page-Down. Present and Screen seem entirely dead out of the box. I want to make the latter two work as well.
Recently, I was shopping for a presenter (a remote control for PowerPoint, Keynote, etc.) and liked the Logitech Presenter R700 (a newer European-only version of the R800) best, due to its design and its integrated display with a countdown. Alas, Macs are not officially supported for this device. Thankfully, they can be made to work together, as explained in this blog post. I also mention how my configuration file can be adapted to an R800.
In 2023, Logitechs attained unexpected prominence as LSA Technology Services was forced to begin removing all Kensington brand presenter remotes from LSA-supported classrooms and auditoriums, after it was determined that Kensingtons were causing podium computers to shut down, sometimes in the middle of PowerPoint lectures.
The wireless presenter supports physical laser, digital laser, highlight, magnifier, full screen marking air mouse, volume control. Physical laser is designed for project screen. Digital laser is designed for LCD/LED screen.
Built in 300mAh rechargeable polymer lithium battery. The LED flashes red slowly when the power is low. The LED is on when it's being charged. The LED turns off when it's full of charge. Users can use computer USB port or mobile phone charger to charge the wireless presenter. This product only supports standard 5V charging. It does not support all kinds of QC quick charging.
No matter what system and presentation software you are using, you can use Norwii Presenter freely. The wireless presenter is used widely in teaching, training, conference, and wedding. For Linux and Android, no APP available, the wireless presenter can be used to page up and page down.
The power switch is a physical switch. It can cut the power off completely. Presenters without this kind of power switch will have a risk. The risk is, when the presenter is in the bag and one of the keys is pressed down, the presenter will keep the working until the battery is drained.
Each time the key is pressed down, the presenter will be waked up immediately to deal with the key-press operation. After the key is released up, the presenter will turn to sleep to save power. The wake-up time is so short (less than 1 millisecond) that the user can not even feel it.
The Shure BLX188/CVL is a cost-effective wireless lavalier microphone system for two presenters, teachers, or lecturers, which offers quality sound, simple setup, and dependable performance right out of the box. It includes the compact and lightweight BLX88 dual-channel tabletop receiver with internal antennas, ideal for portable use.
