Logitech Logitech Standard Presentation Remote Control with Carrying Pouch Silver (910-004984)

... den ich je hatte. Und ich verwende seit 20 Jahren solche Fernbedienungen.

OK

TL;DR Amazon shipped me 2 defective units. Buying directly from Logitech (~$95) resulted in a functioning unit on the first try. Update, 3/14/24: At an educational technology conference last week, I saw a presenter using one of these (it was not the focus of their presentation). They confirmed that they were using the device with their Mac, so I went to the vendors to see if there was a Logitech rep, and there indeed was. I told him I’d love to use one of their spotlight presenters, but the two I had purchased through Amazon wouldn’t even charge. He immediately checked that I had the software, and plugged his device in to my Mac. It worked beautifully. He recommended I buy direct from the company, and indicated that he had had numerous complaints like mine about those purchased on Amazon. Though the shipping was kind of slow, the device arrived yesterday. Unlike the purchase and its replacement from Amazon, this unit buzzed its haptic feedback as soon as it had power. Its light came on immediately (finally letting me know what that was supposed to look like, since I hadn’t seen it with either the purchase or the replacement from Amazon). All features worked as demonstrated by the rep and as expected. Assuming the unit continues to work as expected this will be the last update. Original review: Received a defective unit. 2 hours trying to charge with no effect. About an hour and a half on Logitech’s chat system before I gave up and called, only to be told it was defective and to return it. On the way to UPS now; so much for presenting with it in 4 days. Also, the Logitech site suggests this product is not compatible with OS14 as of today’s date. This is not the immediate reason it didn’t work; it never lit up or vibrated to indicate charge. I’ll update if/when I get a functional replacement. Update 12/18/23 Received the replacement. Plugged it in overnight. No LED came on. Nothing buzzed. The software said for a second time there appeared to be a problem with the unit. Not sure whether the seller or the product gets zero stars. What neither gets is another chance.

This is a well-designed and powerful presentation remote. The pointer features and digital highlighting are impressive, and the Bluetooth connection works smoothly. The quick charging is also a great plus. However, I’m more used to traditional laser pointers, so the Spotlight’s digital features feel a bit different at first. It definitely takes some time to get used to the gestures and the interface. Overall, it’s a great tool, but expect a short learning curve if you’re coming from a classic presenter.

Works great for presentations.
