Logitech Wireless Presenter R400 with Red Laser Pointer review

@jien910315 should work with powerpoint.

@jien910315 So i tested it on leopard and it works in Microsoft PowerPoint, Also works in Preview. Let me know if you have another software in mind.

good review thanks

review of a real user point of view..thanks man.

does it work with prezi?

If prezi can be controlled with the left and right arrow buttons, then it should work as it simulates those key strokes. want me to check ?

i guess it works but i'm having trouble using it with my computer, everytime i plug it, a window appears and says that a software couldn't be found or sth like that.

What OS? Try a different USB port?

Both Os X and Windows 7 Should just work. No extra drivers needed.

Hey. Im pushing the buttun but is no laser when i push the button:-( when i look inside the lens i ser a tiny red light inside

Probably defective ... happens. Exchange it.

You should have tried it using your laptop.

See the demo in the annotation link (top right). (maybe you're on mobile, they should really add these annotations to mobile as well)

Hello ureviews, i wonder if this remote starts and stops the videos.

Thank you.

Plug it into the computer and see if it works......Hello!

Does anyone tested it with prezi .com? (online and offline mode) Does it work flawlessly?

i'll try it today and let you know.

It works! But only once it's on full screen, The back and forth work as intended and the blanking button works too. The only problem I see is that if you accidentally press the start slideshow button, it will exit the presentation. And there's no way to go back to full screen besides using the mouse.

Thanks!

Does the R400 also work on windows8?

it works at more the 50 feet (15m), maybe at 20m?

Yes, It's working perfectly in Prezi. (Tested.)

Pro Points: Installs really fast no drivers required on Windows XP upwards (Think USB keyboard)  Great for last minute presentations on unknown hardware.

Also no need to press fiddly buttons to pair with receiver.  I just works!  Also great for stressed out presenter situations

Con Points: Receiver dongle is not of the unifying type so if you have wireless logitech mouse or keyboard they will need their own receiver and you won't save on USB ports being used.   (LogiTech still do not do a Presenter that supports unifying receivers!)

Dongle is large so cannot be left in a laptop in a bag or display laptops as it is visible and tempting to thieves.

Also to correct the OP you can enter full screen mode by pressing the small button underneath the back button with the triangle on it.  This toggles full screen mode (it essentially sends a F5 keyboard command)  FYI the blank screen button sends a "b" keystroke command.  Also FYI pressing "w" will make the screen white in PowerPoint.  Back and Forward just sends a left and right arrow keystroke respectively.

In Australia, the laser limit is 1mw without a permit. My secretary ordered one of these and when I got it, it said 5mw on the side. At night you can only just see the beam (must be my conditions)!

Hi! I recently bought the device but I wanna know if there is possible way to play the audios that I inserted in my presentation ,remotely . Tnx

Does it have timer??

It will work with the presentation of ProShow Producer?

most brilliant exposure ever. On/off laser. only a genius could have fathomed it

Does it point at Digital Screen too. I have 84" display & I am looking for one such wireless presenter for that ...

thanks for your help!

Thank you.

Please what should I do if I lose the USB of my presenter

I'm a newbie to these types of remotes. I don't understand what the two screen buttons are under the arrow buttons. I also have tried using this on Google Slides and PowerPoints and nothing happens. I'm a teacher and would like to use this remote so I can roam around the class.
