Digital camera reviews of Logitech 2.4 GHz Cordless Presenter (Black)
Digital camera Review: Cheaper than the other Logitech cordless presenter, still all the functionality I need in a classroom
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband "bought me" the other Logitech cordless presenter (which costs about 3x as much as this one) a year or so ago because, as a high school teacher, I often use PowerPoint to teach new lessons and to show photos of unfamiliar events or references in literature. The truth is, I took the thing to school once before he hijacked it for his own laptop/flat screen combination and used it as a glorified cordless mouse, with laser pointer.
Honestly, this little thing is a lot more convenient than the other one for use in a classroom, and the reduced cost makes me less concerned about it "getting jacked" by one of my well-meaning but sometimes-misdirected students. It doesn't have the cordless mouse functionality, so I can't switch between programs. It's pretty much only functional for use with PowerPoint, but that's fine for me. I can now move around my classroom freely, switching back and forth between slides and pointing out specific things on the screen without having to be right next to my computer. It helps to be able to spot-check my students' progress and walk the room, and students everywhere are just more attentive when they see presenters who can actually move more than in just a 5-inch radius. I also love being able to "black screen" the TV at certain points (to answer questions, to address side issues, at the end of the presentation) without having to interrupt my presentation/presence in front of the class.
I especially like the little case and the USB storage in the unit when it's not in use -- I tend to lose things. I also like the size and feel of this presenter over the other one, which was too bulky for me. The 50-foot range is GINORMOUS, and not having to have "line of sight" to my actual computer is a lifesaver. I don't use the timer/vibrate feature at all, and the on/off switch is really easy to get to -- not like the one on my cell phone that requires a lot of fumbling and fighting to get it to depress.

Works as it should for price which is on high side there are cheaper units that still get the job done.Digital camera Review: Compatible beyond PowerPoint
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tested this presenter with other applications where remote scrolling and paging are useful. It works with non-PowerPoint presentation software, including those supported under the Ubuntu operating system. This device is easy to use and does have a very usable range of wireless operation. If you have frequent need for a functional remote presenter, I highly recommend this one!Digital camera Review: Cool toy
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a college instructor that can't stand still. I love this thing. It allows me to go everywhere in the classroom. Some of the coolest features are the timer, and the blank screen function.
The only reason I rated it a 4 instead of a five is that it has a stupid volume function control feature that only works for the audio features that can't be activated from the remote.

The Logitech 2.4 GHz Cordless Presenter is well worth the money in functionality, added accessory, and convenience. You will not question your hard earned dollars being spent on this product.
