Logitech Wireless Presenter R400 USB A PowerPoint Clicker with Laser

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 purchased this clicker to improve my PowerPoint presentations at work, and it’s been a great addition. I really like how small and compact it is—easy to carry and doesn’t feel bulky at all. One of my favorite features is the built-in storage for the USB adapter. You don’t have to worry about losing it, which is a huge plus. It also comes with a nice carrying case, which makes it easy to keep everything together and organized. Overall, it’s simple, reliable, and perfect if you want to be a little more prepared and polished during presentations. Definitely recommend!

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.

Phenomenal, absolutely worth the buy. Super easy plug and play

I recently purchased this presentation clicker remote, and I must say, it's an impressive little device that ticks a lot of boxes for me. At a great price point, it offers functionality that rivals more expensive options on the market. Pros: Affordability: One of the standout features of this remote is its price. For the quality and functionality it provides, it’s a fantastic value. Sleek Design: The remote has a modern, streamlined look that fits comfortably in hand. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry around, whether you’re heading to a meeting or a lecture. User-Friendly: Right out of the box, it was incredibly easy to set up and use. The buttons are intuitively placed, making it a breeze to navigate through slides during presentations. Works Well: The clicker performs reliably, with a solid connection that doesn’t drop out even from a distance. I was impressed with how responsive it is, allowing me to focus on my presentation rather than fumbling with technology. Cons: Laser Pointer Limitation: While it does come with a built-in laser pointer, I found that it doesn’t work effectively on TV screens, which was disappointing as this was the main reason I purchased this product. It’s a nice feature for pointing out details on physical presentation boards, but if you're expecting it to function on a screen, you might want to consider this limitation. Overall Impression: If you're in the market for a presentation clicker that combines style, functionality, and affordability, this remote is a solid choice. Just keep in mind the laser pointer's limitations if you plan on using it primarily with screens. Despite this minor drawback, it’s a reliable tool that has significantly improved my presentation experience. Highly recommend!

This is a really nice remote and is perfect for anyone who regularly has to give presentations. It feels very high quality, is confortable to hold, and I have had zero issues getting to to connect to any of the computers I've used it on. It come with a nice pouch for carrying it around, and there is a slot in the remote to hold the usb stick that it connects to. The laser is also nice and bright and has been perfect for pointing out specific items in presentations. Would definitely recommend!!

I’ve been using this wireless presenter for presentations at work and church for a while now, and it’s been rock solid. Setup couldn’t be easier. Plug in the USB receiver and it works instantly, no software needed. The buttons are perfectly placed and easy to feel without looking, so I can stay focused on speaking instead of fumbling with controls. The wireless range is great. I can walk around the room freely and the slides still respond immediately. The laser pointer is bright and easy to see, even in well-lit rooms, which makes highlighting key points simple. Build quality feels solid and comfortable in the hand, not cheap or flimsy. Battery life has also been excellent. I’ve used it for months without needing to replace the battery. If you give presentations regularly and want something dependable, simple, and professional, this clicker is a great buy. It does exactly what it should and does it well.

I have taught university classes (from 15 to 350 students) and give presentations quite frequently. As a result, I have used a variety of presenters (or clickers) on different computer systems. I tired of switching presenter types, ending up with one that was only a laser pointer or had a delay between slide transitions, or going to places that had no clickers or ones that were low on batteries. I finally purchased the product but I wanted to use it for several months before chiming in with my review. It's been four months and I have not had any problems with it. I am completely content! I see three drawbacks in the product: the timer is too short (put it up at an hour), the device isn't always recognized immediately (close the presentation, reinsert the USB, and it should work), and it does not have a mouse control (you have to walk back to the computer which is not always an option for me but this feature is not offered on many products anyway). Other than those two complaints, I have not had any troubles. I love the device and would not consider getting any other competing product. The green laser is sharp and usually draws a comment or two because people are accustomed to seeing red lasers. I also like the way that the USB drive stores directly into the device. A final plus is that I remove the batteries after presentations and the pouch that comes with the device is flexible enough (meaning not too tight) to fit the batteries alongside the clicker. Summary: If you want a presenter, this is a great option. ** If anybody from Logitech reads this review, I would also suggest integrating the black screen on/off button with PDFs. I use my own typesetting program instead of PowerPoint and I have seen people save PowerPoint slides as PDFs to avoid having any formatting changes. The button does not work in PDF mode for either of those cases. UPDATE (6/2013): 14 months have passed since the original review above. I still love this presenter and think it's one of the best things out there. The laser is sharp and I am still on the original batteries. I use it pretty often but take the batteries out after each use. Nobody has ever complained when I loan it out at conferences or workshops. In fact, multiple people have liked it and asked where I found it. A big plus is that I can use it in government computers that usually freak out when I plug in a foreign USB. IT hasn't come knocking on my door yet! I would buy another one in a heartbeat (assuming a newer model is not out) if this clicker ever broke!

Good quality product. I like the ergonomic design and the green light. Perfect for presentation.

Works well, saves my legs and enables me to move from my desk!

I recently got the Logitech Professional Presenter R800 for my presentations, and it has truly transformed the way I deliver my talks. The moment I picked it up, I appreciated the sleek black design and how comfortable it felt in my hand. It’s lightweight, yet sturdy, making it easy to navigate through slides without any strain. The green laser pointer is a game changer. I used to struggle with red lasers in well-lit rooms, but the green laser is incredibly bright and easily visible, even when I’m pointing at something far away. During a recent presentation, I was able to highlight key points effortlessly, and I could see my audience paying closer attention because of it. The LCD display is another feature I love. It shows the current slide number and battery life, so I never have to worry about being caught off guard during a presentation. I can easily keep track of where I am without having to glance back at my laptop. I also appreciate the 100-foot wireless range. It gives me the freedom to move around and engage with my audience, rather than being stuck behind the podium. The controls are intuitive, making it easy to advance slides smoothly without fumbling. What’s even better is the small USB receiver that fits neatly into the presenter itself, which means I don’t have to worry about losing it when I’m on the go. Overall, the Logitech R800 has become an essential tool for my presentations. It’s reliable, professional, and helps me connect better with my audience. If you’re looking to elevate your presentation game, I highly recommend investing in this presenter!
