Customer Ratings & Reviews

Logitech presenter has some critical problems. It's too slow and imprecise to activate the highlight function and, most important, sometimes it does not work - even if you are two meters away from computer. I have a new Macbook pro: I do not know if it works better in windows systems.

First, I'll address the price point which is admittedly steep at $129.99. How much could a clicker really be worth? Well, the Logitech Spotlight answers that question. For those that frequently find themselves presenting and wishing there were more functionality (other than forward and back) built into your clicker, the wait is over. The Logitech Spotlight provides circular highlighting (via sensors in the Spotlight--not a projection or laser), zooming, media interaction, and cursor control from your fingertips--which can be up to 100 ft away from the laptop! An added benefit is that this functionality doesn't come in the form of a NASA worthy control panel. Instead, it comes in a very stylishly simple aluminum metal remote that fits comfortably in your hand. It feels professional and of such quality that it won't break apart if accidentally dropped or smashed around in a laptop bag. A large part of public speaking is confidence and this should boost anyone's confidence with it's added functions as well as style. Installation is simple and easy. If you only want the basics (clicks forward/backward), it's as fast as plug and play. To take advantage of all the tricks the Spotlight can do, you'll need to install the free app from Logitech. I found this to be extremely easy and fast. The app was simple and intuitive allowing you to customize the function of the Spotlight's buttons. This is great so if you have no need to interact with media and instead care more about highlighting and magnifying, you can set the buttons to do exactly what you need. This makes interacting with your presentation a breeze and intuitive without having to think or search in a haystack of buttons while providing your full attention to the presentation itself. Forgot to charge your Spotlight and are about to present? No problem. A 1 minute charge via USB will last for 3 hours. A full charge will last up to 3 months! As you can tell, I can be a bit long winded. This isn't a great thing when you have limited time to present. The spotlight has an answer for that as well. A vibrating alert can be configured through the Spotlight's app to mark milestones (10 min, 30 min, etc) in your presentation. This can help keep people like me on track. In addition, you can use the app to have a timer included on the screen for more real-time monitoring. In conclusion, I really enjoyed presenting with the Spotlight. The customizable functions come in REALLY handy as sometimes the needs of your presentation change. You may need more media interaction in one while only need zooming and highlighting in another. No matter what, you'll only have 3 buttons to contend with allowing you to maintain focus on dazzling your audience. Call me superficial, but the look and feel of the Spotlight made me feel more confident. It's stylish, quality, and clearly costs more than your average remote. It just says "Pro" to anyone who sees you wielding it. Your fellow presenters will be envious and immediately feel slightly inadequate with their plastic laser pointers on steroids. Pros: Look & Feel (Stylish) Build Quality Customizable Functions Wireless (Bluetooth or included dongle) Battery/Charge Life/Time Included Carrying Case Distance Cons: Price* *Any pro presenter should have the Logitech Spotlight. If you don't present frequently (or do extremely important presentations where style, flare, and seamless interaction matter), the Spotlight is still something that could revolutionize your presentations. Whether it's worth the price for the amateur/occasional presenter is up to you. I still think it's a neat gadget that will have your audience/co-presenters inquiring about your Spotlight.

The Logitech Spotlight is an improvement on an old idea. The build quality is excellent and it feels really solid in your hand. In function, it's a cross between a presentation remote and an air mouse. Using the air mouse functionality takes little practice, but the results can be well worth your time. You can use the combination remote/air mouse to highlight a circular area, magnify an area, or circle an important part of your slide. The air mouse feature can also be used to select play buttons on video or audio slides. I really appreciate the timer feature. I tend to go a little off topic from time to time and find it handy that I can set notifications to remind me I'm running out of time. When you've reached a preset time, it vibrates to let you know it's time to shut your trap. Spotlight is rechargeable, works with the included USB transmitter or Bluetooth, and has a range of up to 100', which I found to be pretty accurate. The Logitech Spotlight is a little pricey, but if you are a heavy presenter it's extended functionality could be just what you need to provide the pop your presentations need.

Logitech's Spotlight remote is a great tool to have for the office, AND home. The design is simple, yet functional. It is very responsive and works from quite a distance. Forget the archaic laser pointer, this thing has it all. One of my favorite features is the "spotlight" feature that focuses specifically where you want it. Another great thing about it is that you are able to use the remote as a cursor and click things. Another bug plus is that it's rechargeable, so you don't have to worry about buying batteries. This is truly a great device/tool to have at the office. Aside from the office, I use this remote with my five year old son as a teaching device. He loved the spotlight function, so this helped me to get his attention when teaching him new things. I would definitely recommend this remote!

I do quite a few presentations for work and the Logitech Spotlight is an exceptional tool to help any presenter take their presentations to the next level. The device itself is exceptionally well designed, it's light weight, fits comfortably within the hand and works well with both Windows and MacOS. You'll easily be able to navigate within your presentation, moving back and forth within your slides as well as highlighting and magnifying within the presentation. The Logitech Spotlight charges exceptionally quickly via the USB-C to USB cable provided and connects to your PC or Mac using Bluetooth. This will definitely become a critical component of my presentations now. If your job involves presentations then I'd definitely recommend using the Logitech Spotlight. You won't regret it.

The Logitech Spotlight Presentation remote is something new to me. I have always done presentations standing in front of a computer screen, and I may or may not have had a laser pointer to work with, depending on the venue. In my current position, I do a lot of presentations and typically they are very straight forward power point personations and I have videos in some of them. That said, based on my personal experiences in doing these presentations, this was a game changer for me. First things first, I tend to walk around a room when I present and get the audience involved. Usually it is not a large room, and the groups ranged between 25-50 people. Keeping that in mind, I can go anywhere in a room and control the presentation. I am not stuck behind a podium hitting the forward key on a keyboard or telling my assistant “next.” And it says 100 feet in the instructions manual, I think I got a little more than that when I was testing it out the first time. I think we tried it at about 120-125. So, when you use a typical pointer it is usually a laser style pointer. This one is a little different and gives more of a highlight or spotlight effect on the screen. To be honest, it is much more professional looking and gives your presentation a more polished look to it. The first time I tried it, I immediately got compliments on it. Also, my wife immediately stole it from me and is using it at her school in her presentations now! My favorite option is the ability to play the imbedded videos with ease. It seems like something so simple right? But all of us have seen presentations conducted by professional instructors when they minimize the presentation to play a video they can’t get to work in their hyperlink. Even when the hyperlink is connected properly, they still don’t work half the time. Why can’t you just make the video play right on the screen from a remote? You can with this remote and it is awesome. Again, giving it a polished look to your presentation that others just don’t have. Finally, depending one what I am presenting, sometimes I can be on a very specific schedule and that means finishing within the allotted time limit. Nothing makes me more upset then the jerk presenting in front of you taking an extra 15 minutes and eating into your time. It is not professional and it can always be avoided. With this remote, you can set reminders for yourself and they come in the form of the remote softly vibrating in your hand. It is not noticeable to your audience and you keep rolling without skipping a beat. So if you know you need to be on slide 20 when you feel the first vibration you placed for the half way marker, you know you are right on time or if you need to speed up or slow down a bit. This is my FAVORITE feature. So subtle, so helpful, and so discrete. In the beginning of my review, I stated this is a game changer for me. It truly is, and I consider myself to be a good presenter. This really just makes your presentation more interactive as far as bridging the gap between you and the screen it is showing on. Everything that seems logical is now easily done on a device that feels comfortable in your hand. So if you are a presenter, whether it is a regular thing for you or if you work on a team that does a lot of presentations such as HR or a training department. This is a must have tool to have in your tool box. I will never go back to the old way, it would be like taking back my iPhone and carrying a pager. I recommend this to anyone, it is an amazing product.

Before I jump in to reviw this let me say this - that i like the logitech products a lot their build quality and ergonomics. I own the mechanical mini for mac, two mx master mouse and mx keys and k695. All are wotking great and i am happy with thiir performance. I was looking for a pointer for the lcd ecreens because laser pointers are not useful because they are not visible to the audianse. So i got this spotlight presenter. Below is the detailed review. Build quality. Perfect and it fits very nicely with my macbook and i like the magnetic storage of the usb connector. It is usb a, it would have been great if it can also be usb c. Connection woth bluetooth is a plus because macbooks these days don’t have usb A. Leather cover and charging cabe is neat. It works with logitech options and installation and setup is easy. There are a few customization options that are a great plus like zoom, spotlight, and just laser pointer. Instruction mention that you can change mode by double clicking the button but that doesnt work. I enable all three functions and also only two function. Tried everything but it either do zoom ot spotlight and change only once then stuck on that mode. Something is broken in the programming. I contacted the logitech tech support and they were very prompt in respondign but the problem could not be resolved with the solution provided. I tried this on one windows 11 computer and intel mackbook pro and m3 mackbook pro. All have options installed and results are same. For using only one mode like either laser, zoom or spotlight it is great but interchanging mode does not work as it should. It works just one time then do not. Tried usb connection and also bluetooth. Overall it is a great concept good for general digotal presentation but not for power user until this problem is fixed. Lack of usb C is also a concern. I returned it because of these functionally reasons.

Not Mac compatible. Did not work with Mac laptop at all

Over all the software was easy to install but the overall product would not work with Power Point correctly.

The Logitech Spotlight Remote is an excellent premium presentation remote. I have frequently given CLE presentations to other attorneys, and the Spotlight Remote is an excellent tool. I paired the Spotlight with my Surface Pro 4, which is the device I generally use to give presentations. I had some initial issues installing the software because the corporate version of Norton on my computer believed the software contained a trojan. I presume Logitech must have updated the software, because I finally got it to work today and have spent some time testing Spotlight. Of course, it functions as a basic presentation tool, advancing and reversing slides. But it has a number of other cool features. First, as the name implies, you can use a button on the remote to create a highlighted "spotlight" on the presentation. This is a very nice feature, allowing you to really focus on specific parts of the slide. Second, you can set timers such that the remote will vibrate to give you a reminder. This can help you stay within an allotted time or encourage you to move along to the next slide. Also, you can use the remote to control video within the presentation. All features work perfectly. The Spotlight is a nice remote. It feels solid and substantial, but not overly heavy. In the box is a nice carry pouch, a charging cable, and a dongle you can use to connect to a computer that doesn't have BT. It is on the pricey side, but it is a clear step above other remotes used for presentations.

I spent hours messing with this and 3 seperate calls to support. After a several troubleshooting steps, Logitech told me they would escalate it to level 2 support. I google searched, “logitech spotlight timer doesnt work with mac” and read several postings of the same problem. I called back Logitech for a fourth time and specifically asked the tech to be honest with me and tell me if the timer will ever work with a Mac and he said, no it will never work. There website and marketing is false. They know it doesn’t work and they still post on their site that it does. I purchased this item specifically for the timer notification features for my MacBook Pro. How big companies make elementary mistakes is beyond me.

This is a fantastic unit. It is very easy to download the app from the Logitech web site and immediately begin use of the device. The install gives you a very quick tutorial which is all that you need to effectively begin using it. I have used traditional pointer / presentation devices for years -- and this one immediately sets itself apart. It has the usual 'slide forward' and 'slide backward' functions, but the ability to highlight ("spotlight") a portion of the screen is very powerful. I run dual displays and quickly validated that the highlight capability effectively extends to both displays. The countdown timer for use when having a fixed presentation timeslot is quite slick also. The unit has an embedded battery and comes with a short USB cable for purposes of charging the battery. I need to be sure to set this cable in a known location so that I will not lose it. This is an all-around great device...

From the description, I was thinking this would have some sort of optical recognition of what you're pointing at, but instead, it uses motion sensors to detect how you're moving the pointer itself. That means you don't even need to have line of sight to the screen to highlight something on it. Gone are the days of laser pointers and tiny red dots. Now, you don't even have to be facing the screen to point out something for your audience. That alone is worth the purchase. The novelty, in particular, is sure to help hold your audience's attention. And you can change the way the pointer highlights items on the screen: big circle, smaller circle, outlined circle, etc. The nice added feature is that you can also use it to select items on the screen. Hover your pointer over a link, then click the pointer button again, and it will select that link. That means you can use your pointer to follow different links in your slides without needing to also use a mouse. The only real loser here is your cat, who no longer has anything to chase after you get home.

This review is an unbiased review that is given in exchange for having freely received this product. Knowing that the remote is from Logitech certainly gave me visions that the product should be of high quality, and that it is. In my view, it's well-designed -- the device and buttons are minimal but responsive enough to be useable during a presentation. The fact that you can attach the remote to a PC or Mac OS via either Bluetooth or wireless is a definite advantage. No, you don't have to point the remote directly at the presentation screen for it to work! Instead, while the remote will move the mouse cursor around on screen, when selecting the appropriate select button, the installed software "highlights" a circular area over wherever the cursor happens to be (which can be moved by moving the remote) for dramatically increased viewability by your audience. The only reason I didn't give the remote five stars is because of the fact that you have to install the software on whatever presentation computer you're using. For the price of the remote, it would be nice if the USB dongle would include software that could stay resident in memory in the case that you have to use a computer to which you don't have administrative access. Overall, not bad for a device that makes the standard laser pointer look obsolete :)

I am a teacher and I usually give some kind of presentation at least 4 times a week. I have always used the basic presenter. The Logitech presenter blows my old one out of the water. The students really liked how I can either spotlight or zoom in on a specific part of my presentation. I also have students give presentations that are timed and they love the fact that they can see the time remaining on their presentations. If you would like to splurge on a presenter, I would highly recommend you choose the Logitech Spotlight Presenter.

This is a nice little device, but with a couple of points holding it back. Do you need this, or will a wireless mouse work just as well? If you only need to advance the slides, the mouse will suffice. If you need to go forward and back, this has nice utility. The pointer functionality is novel, but I didn't have much use for it. Perhaps someone with much more complicated slideshows would find more use for it. There are two points which I feel combine to take off a star. First, the price. Second, holding it. The price for pointers like this is high. I know they're targeted to the business community who might be reimbursed for buying something like this, but it is a barrier to the average person. Second, holding it. It feels great in the hand, hit doesn't have a wrist-band, nor a place to loop on a wrist-band. It is a bit slick, so be careful with your gesturing while using this, lest it go flying.

I was really looking forward to trying this out, I wasn't disappointed. I received the package opened it and found the device packaged in a nice clean packaging. It contained the presentation remote, warranty info, end of life battery removal instructions, a proprietary USB cable, and a fake leather case. There are no user instructions at all anywhere in or on the box, I finally found install instructions on the Logitech site. First you must download the presentation software, I use windows 7 and had no issues. It downloaded and installed fast. You then open the software and follow the instructions on how to connect your remote. You are asked to plug it in for 1 minute for 3 hours usage, then after 1 minute you are Asked to plug in USB receiver and click connect on device. Once that is done you feel the remote vibrate and a nice bright "You are connected" appears on screen. You then use the remote to to access the installed software which gives you onscreen and interactive instructions on using and the features of the remote. I found this very easy and terribly useful in getting used to how the remote responds to the commands. There are 3 buttons on the remote, the top button is for the highlight feature, the large middle button is for moving to the next slide, and the smaller bottom button is for moving to the previous slide. Once you start your presentation a timer starts and will vibrate when there are five minutes left, and vibrate once again when it is finished. You can use the highlight button to highlight, magnify, and click with a mouse like pointer. The other two next and back buttons can be used to adjust volume up and down as well. All in all I found the us r experience to be flawless. The buttons worked without exception in every application I tried, the highlighter was the same with no problems. When you press a command button the reaction on screen is instantaneous and very smooth. I can and would highly recommend this remote without hesitation.

I love how it feels. simple to use once you get software installed. I am writing my review now and if need will update more later on. For the price, I do like the futures with it that other presenters don't offer. Things that I really like. I like that you can customize the buttons and what they do, however there are not to many options at the moment. still a nice future and can see potential in the future. I like that if you are presenting with multiple screens, this will show on each screen if they are synced. were as other presenters with a laser will only work on the screen the laser is pointing at. I like the little pouch and that the usb adapter fits in the bottom and you can use that as a tab to pull the presenter out of the pouch. I also like that you can use it like a mouse. a bit to get used to but you can change the sensitivity a bit for pointer speed. and then you just tap the top button for it to act as a left mouse click. my laptop did not come with a remote and so this is a nice handy remote. I can sit back when I want to and play movies and stop without having to get up. I can also adjust the volume up and down. a few things that I would suggest, like to see, or just not to fond about. the charging cord is about 6 inches. its as long as the presenter. so very short. I would love to see it longer so that you can easily plug into a computer, laptop, wall adapter etc and be able to place the presenter someplace safe. I rather have a disk for software so that you don't have to try and download from internet or have it built into the presenter. there are only 4 options for the pointer that replaces a laser. one of which is only available when the other 3 are not selected. and that is, just using the mouse pointer. if you have 1, 2 or all 3 of the other options selected (highlight, magnify or circle) to go between the 3 if all are selected you just double tap the top button. this is great, but I think the regular mouse pointer should also be a option with that. I would also love to see a red dot as an option as well. the if you want to use a red dot (like a laser) you have that option and if multiple screens are being used, it would show on all screens. I think it would also have been nice to have like a double tap of the forward and back buttons as well to be able to do functions. like double tap and hold after the second tap. or can have the double tap to go to a blank screen, can have it to mute the volume, etc. many options that I think or hope can get added in the future to make this even better. overall I think the price is worth it. have used a few cheaper presenters for half the price and they do not work as nice. and only have a few options for them. not to mention, those usually take a AA battery which cost over time. I cant wait to put this thru some more test and see how it handles after a few months, a year, etc. and I cant wait to possibly see what futures might get added in future updates, which is something that I also think could be a plus for this presenter.

This Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote is a joy to use, and feels really good in your hand. It came very well packaged, and includes a nice carrying case. There is also a charging cable, and a USB dongle which fits into the end of the remote for storage. The Spotlight remote can connect to any PC via Bluetooth, and will work quite well to advance slides in programs like PowerPoint. The forward button is larger than the reverse button and the special programmable top button, so there should be no trouble using the remote without looking at it. Where the spotlight really shines is by using the included USB dongle, and downloading and installing the Logitech Spotlight software. This software allows you to customize how the buttons work. The top button can perform 2 of 3 special activities at a time (double-tapping the button switched modes) – Magnify, Highlight (a circular spotlight), or Circle pointer. The forward and backward buttons can also be programmed to handle other functions when held down – blank the screen, scroll, fast forward, volume control (which you use by pointing the remote up or down), or even custom keystrokes. I was very impressed when first unboxing this remote, and it felt and performed well upon first use. Once I installed the dongle and the software I was blown away. While there is no traditional “laser pointer” function, I didn’t miss it at all once I explored the options of this Spotlight Remote. The only downside I can see is that you don’t have the extra functionality when using a PC without the Logitech software loaded. However, if you travel with a laptop, or use a dedicated PC for presentations, you can’t do any better than the Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote.

This little remote is a great device. Awesome packaging and exquisite design are packed into a small package, as well as a carrying case. The only drawback really is price; if you like the idea of cool features using the app-update based tech in this pointer then this is for you. If you might not ever use those features, you could put your money to better use. Overall great device ,just a tad expensive is all. However, you get what you pay for.
