presentation clicker for powerpoint

The 7 Best PowerPoint Clickers on the Market (2024 Review)

Written by co-founder Kasper Langmann , Microsoft Office Specialist.

Want to step up your presentation game? A smart and reliable PowerPoint clicker is all you need🎯

It is a small wireless remote that fits in your hand. Use it to move between different slides. Pause or restart, laser point, and control what your audience gets to see.

The right PowerPoint clicker can turn you into a presentation wizard🧙🏼‍♂️

But with so many of them on the market, how do you find the right one? Below, I’ve listed the seven absolute best PowerPoint clickers on the market.

⚠️Spoiler Alert⚠️

My top pick is the Logitech R800 .

It stands out as one of the most advanced clickers with very well-thought-out features. Such as a small LCD to help you track the time gone into presenting. Set a timer on it or monitor the battery level of your clicker🔋

However, these might not make the most important features for your needs. To find the best of the best for yourself, continue reading.

A quick note of how we test each clicker

Each clicker on this list is best in at least one crucial aspect. Be it the battery or the laser light, or something else.

To pull this list together, we have evaluated each presenter on a total of 5 parameters 💪

Laser Pointer, Battery, Control Range, Compatibility, User Friendliness.

So, in the review below, we will score each of these parameters for every clicker. Based on these, you can find the clicker that best suits your needs.

PowerPoint Clickers Reviewed

1: Logitech R800 (Best Overall)

2: Kensington Wireless Presenter K33272WW (Best Basic)

3: Kensington K72426AMA (Best Cursor Control)

4: Logitech R500 (Easiest to Use)

5: Amerteer Wireless Presenter (Best on Budget)

6: Amerteer Finger Ring Presenter (Best Ring Presenter)

7: NINJAABXY Wireless Clicker (Best Ergonomic Design)

This list was last updated on January 4th, 2023.

1. Logitech R800 (Best Overall)

The Logitech R800 is the perfect choice for professionals who can’t stand anything less than perfection.

The best highlight of this presenter? An excellent battery life. It works on two AAA batteries that will give you a 20-hour lifetime in laser light mode😍

And in simple presentation mode, the battery life goes up to 1050 hours. No meeting lasts longer than that.

Plus, the LCD screen allows users to track the battery life. So you are well informed about the battery life, and there’s no guessing game.

Specifications in the version we reviewed

• Laser Light: Green laser light
• Connectivity: Plug-and-play USB Receiver
• Battery: 2 AAA batteries
• Control Range: 100 Feet (30 meters)
• Special feature: LCD Display with track of time and battery

Score on review parameters

• Laser Pointer: Green laser light is a big plus as it never fails (not even in well-lit rooms).
• Battery Type: Two replaceable AAA batteries give you an excellent battery life of 20 to 1050 hours.
• Control Range: A 100-feet control range. This means you can roam around your conference room (and even in a nearby garden) freely. The clicker will still work. And if you get a little too away, the reception indicator will beep to bring you back in the control range.
• User Friendliness: Plug and play means just connecting the USB receiver to any Windows PC, and that’s it. No complicated setups. When done, unplug the USB receiver and store it inside the actual clicker.
• LCD Screen: Here’s an additional feature that we would love to highlight. The LCD on top of the presenter allows you to track the time, the battery, and wireless reception. Get silent or vibration alerts when the battery goes low.
• Value-for-Money: For $78 and all these modern features, we won’t call it exorbitant. But yes, slightly overpriced.

Overall Spreadsheeto Rating: 💚💚💚💚💚💚 (6/6)

This, in my view, is the best choice for professionals. With live information on the LCD screen, there’s no chance of running out of battery or range.

2. Kensington Wireless Presenter K33272WW (Best Basic)

If you need a basic PowerPoint clicker that’s reliable and easy to use, look no further. This wireless presenter from Kensington will take care of it all.

With a four-intuitive-button design, it is very user-friendly. You need not wrap your head around a complicated design with lots of buttons and unnecessary functions😏

It’s simple, very durable, and ergonomically built to fit your hands.

It offers AES 28-bit encryption (also adopted by the US Govt. as the encryption standard). This makes it safe and secure against any hacking attempts.

• Laser Light: Red       
• Battery : External battery
• Control Range: 65 Feet
• Special feature: AES 128-bit encryption (secure wireless technology)
• Price : $38
• Laser Pointer: A red pointer laser light is great for a basic presenter.
• Battery Type: Replaceable battery goes a long way.
• Control Range: A Plug-and-play 2.4GHz and 65 feet control range are pretty good even if you have a large-sized auditorium to address.
• User Friendliness: An intuitive design of four buttons to move between slides, hide the screen and use the laser light makes it very user-friendly.
• Value-for-Money: If you’re focused on reliability and longevity – a basic design for $38 might bring great value for you. But considering the only very basic features offered by it, we don’t score it great in this aspect.

Overall Spreadsheeto Rating: 💚💚💚💚💚🤍 (5/6)

Although the Kensington K33272WW provides an internal compartment for storing the USB receiver, it’s inside the battery cover. You might find it difficult to detach the battery cover to store the USB receiver every time. Other clicker models have a more convenient style for USB receiver storage.

3. Kensington K72426AMA (Best Cursor Control)

Which is the second best PowerPoint clicker on this list? The Kensington K72426AMA.

Why? The list of reasons is a little long✌

But the best part is the joystick in it that gives you cursor control. This PowerPoint clicker from Kensington is almost a portable mouse.

Other clickers would allow you to move between slides, but what if you want to click something on the slide (like a hyperlink)? Would you rush back to your PC to use the mouse? That’s no longer needed.

Use this clicker to launch any file or click anywhere with its joystick.

Wireless presenter with bright green laser pointer and cursor control for presentations.

• Laser Light: Green laser
• Connectivity : Plug-and-play USB / MicroSD Card
• Control Range: 150 Feet (50 meters)
• Compatibility : Windows & Mac OS X (Keynote and PowerPoint)
• Special feature: Cursor control mode (Joystick helps using it as a mouse)
• Price : $45
• Laser Pointer: Green laser light which is 10X brighter than ordinary red laser pointers. Also, if you think red is a little too harsh to use on-screen, go green.
• Battery Type: Replaceable battery.
• Control Range: Excellent control range of 150 feet. That’s the best control range we have seen in all the presenters reviewed until now.
• User Friendliness: Simple design with four intuitive buttons. Specially designed contours to facilitate holding for long hours.
• Value-for-Money: Excellent features for a reasonable price of $45. Great value for money.

Kensington offers similar models in two opalescent colors – pearl white and rose gold. Both of them are real eye candies. If you want an aesthetic look with great functionality, check out Kensington K75771WW (Pearl White) and K757720WW (Rose Gold).

4. Logitech R500 (Easiest to Use)

Minimalism, but with some sass! If that’s your demand, the Logitech R500 is meant for you.

The R500 is a hassle-free, reliable presenter. It comes with three big buttons that are intuitively designed so you can confidently navigate between slides without having to look down⚡

Affordable, easy-to-use wireless presenter with laser pointer and presentation mode.

• Laser Light: Red laser
• Connectivity : Plug-and-play USB / Bluetooth
• Compatibility : Windows, Android, MacOS, Linux. Presentation software (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, iWork, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.)
• Battery : AAA battery (runs for 12 months)
• Control Range: 65 Feet (20 meters)
• Special feature: Pairing with the Logitech Presentation App
• Price : $76
• Laser Pointer: Bright red laser light
• Battery Type: Replaceable AAA battery runs for 12 months. Also includes a power saving mode to save battery under low battery conditions. 
• Control Range: Move away freely for up to a 20 feet control range.
• User Friendliness: The rubber texture and textured buttons make using this presentation remote control easier. It will fit in your palm snugly. Excellent user-friendliness.
• Connectivity : If you’re buying R500, must take note of this feature. Unlike all other clickers, the R500 can also be connected via a Bluetooth connection in addition to a USB receiver.
• Value-for-Money: R500 offers great features but, for $76, it’s a little over-priced.

If you want to navigate confidently, easily, and freely between slides of your daily presentations – I believe R500 to be one of the best fits for you. It is compatible with almost all operating systems.

5. Amerteer Wireless Presenter (Best on Budget)

Got hyperlinks in your slides that you want to launch during the presentation?

Ordinary presenters won’t help you with this situation – you need the Amerteer Wireless Presenter . It’s slim like a pen and lightweight like a feather🖊

If you need an excellent presenter but are on a tight budget – you’ll not find an option better than this.

• Connectivity : Plug-and-play USB Receiver
• Battery : AAA battery
• Special feature: Supports hyperlinks
• Control Range: 39 Feet (12 meters)
• Price : $12

Laser Pointer: Powerful red laser light. Battery Type: This doesn’t include a battery. You’d have to insert an AAA battery. We don’t appreciate this part much. Control Range: Allows a control range of 39 feet. User Friendliness: Very easy to use. Has a hyperlink button that’ll navigate you through all the hyperlinks on the screen with one press. Double-clicking the same button will launch the selected hyperlink. Additionally, it has a very slim design that looks just like a pen. Value-for-Money: For $12 only, it’s literally like buying a bag of chips (pringles, let’s say). For this price, the value for money on this product is just too good.

This one’s a good choice – and the price tag makes it even better.

6. Amerteer Finger Ring Presenter (Best Ring Presenter)

Let us now move on from simple remote control-shaped designs. Need something different?

Something as compact as a finger ring? Let me introduce you to the Amerteer Finger Ring Presenter 💍

A non-slip rubber-based ring clicker that fits around your finger – no falling off, no need to hold it throughout the presentation. Wear it on and navigate through slides with ease and grace.

• Connectivity: Plug-and-Play USB Receiver
• Compatibility : Windows, Android, MacOS, Linux. Presentation apps (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, iWork, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.)
• Battery : Built-in rechargeable Li-polymer battery
• Special feature: Rubberized slip-resistant ring made to fit the size of a finger
• Price : $18.99

Laser Pointer: Red laser light to point out any area you like. Battery Type: No need to replace batteries. Has a rechargeable Li-polymer battery that can be recharged through the USB port. Switch it off when out of use to save power. A charging time of 1 to 1.5 hours allows you a playing time of up to 7 to 10 days. Very seamless. Control Range: Offers a fine control range of up to 12 meters. User Friendliness: An anti-slip rubberized ring that fits around your finger – no worries about dropping it or constantly gripping it. To use all the buttons, you only need your thumb. This makes it very easy to use and carry. Value-for-Money: For $19 only, it’s dirt cheap. Superb value for money.

Don’t want to be hand-bound while you present? That’s one big reason why you need this Ring presenter. Fixes in your finger so you can freely bring your hands to action and animate them just as you like.

7. NINJAABXY Wireless Clicker (Best Ergonomic)

The NINJAABXY Wireless presenter is more of a basic presenter. But, why we like it the most is because of its ergonomic design and value for money💸

It is made using environment-friendly ABS plastics. Plus, it features an ergonomic design that supports long holding hours. And when not in use, slide it into your pocket, and it will unnoticeably fit in.

• Compatibility : Windows, Android, MacOS, Linux, MacBook, Chromebook, etc.
• Control Range: 50 Feet (15 meters)
• Special feature: Laser range of 300 feet
• Price : $13.99

Laser Pointer: Red laser light that extends across 300 feet. Battery Type: Replaceable battery. Control Range: Access up to 50 feet. User Friendliness: Just plug and play the USB receiver in your computer/laptop – no software and no setup formalities. The ergonomic design and button placement make it very user-friendly. Value-for-Money: It comes for $14 only and offers all the basic features of a presenter. We find it to be of great value for the price tag it shows up.

This clicker has got all the good features at a good price. If you’re not particular about an exceptional feature, go for this one.

What is a Presentation Clicker? [And How to Use it?]

By: Author Shrot Katewa

If you are preparing to give a presentation, a presentation clicker can be a very helpful tool! In fact, if you have never given a presentation on a stage before, and you probably just found out that you will need to use a presentation clicker during the presentation, it can make you a bit anxious. This may perhaps make you wonder, what exactly is a presentation clicker?

A presentation clicker (or a presentation remote) is a wireless device that acts as a remote to control the movement of your slides during a presentation. A presentation clicker helps to advance the slides, or move back. Some presentation clickers also have a built-in laser that acts as a pointer.

In this article, I will help you understand a bit more about a presentation clicker, and provide you with tips on how to use it when giving a presentation. Plus, if you are looking to buy a presentation clicker, I shall be sharing some of the best options for you to choose based on my experience.

So, let’s get started!

How Does a Presentation Clicker Work?

A presentation clicker works by connecting to a computer wirelessly using a Bluetooth connection (often using a Bluetooth receiver). Once connected, it allows the presenter to move the slides forward or backward in the presentation mode using the buttons present on the clicker.

Thus, if you are using a presentation clicker when giving the presentation, you can easily move around on the stage and you don’t have to worry about running back to your computer (or asking someone else) to change the slide!

It is important to note that most presentation clickers come with a Bluetooth receiver that is injected into a USB slot on the computer (much like how a wireless mouse is connected to a laptop or a desktop). Furthermore, a receiver is unique to a specific device. Meaning, if you lose the Bluetooth receiver, the presentation clicker will not work!

Additionally, some clickers are designed to work specifically with a special application such as Microsoft PowerPoint. These clickers won’t work with other presentation applications like Keynote and Google Slides. Whereas, some clickers work with most major presentation applications and even with PDF files!

If you are planning to buy a presentation clicker, make sure that you choose one that works at least with Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote!

I’m also going to share with you how to use a presentation clicker, so make sure that you keep reading!

Top 5 Best Presentation Clickers

Sometimes, organizers simply don’t provide the presenter with a presentation clicker. Even when they do, the type of clicker will vary from one event to the other! Learning how to use a different clicker at the last moment can be a bit annoying especially when you are focusing on getting the presentation delivered perfectly!

That is one of the main reasons I carry my own presentation clicker. In fact, I highly recommend you do that too as it really doesn’t cost too much to buy a clicker.

So, let me share with you a few options that you should consider if you are interested in buying a clicker for delivering presentations.

Note – You can also check out the best selling presentation remotes on Amazon. These are usually the most reliable choices in addition to the ones that I’ve tried and reviewed below!

If you are in a rush and want to know which one is the best, my recommendation would be to go with Logitech Spotlight Remote . It is the easiest one to use with a design that requires minimal explanation, and works in a plug-and-play model! It even works without the receiver, that way you don’t have to worry about losing the receiver!

1. Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote [Most Complete]

Spotlight by Logitech is THE BEST presentation remote out there! It provides you with some of the most unique features. Some of these features include –

• Mouse-like cursor control
• Allows you to not only highlight but magnify elements on the screen (which is pretty cool!)
• Range of up to 100 feet
• Seamless connectivity – it really is seamless as it works even without a receiver via Bluetooth. That way, if you lose the receive it still works! (If you are like me, you’re bound to lose a receiver at some time!)
• Highly compatible – Works with not just Google Slides, but also with PowerPoint, and Keynote. It even works with PDF files and Prezi!

In my experience, the most helpful feature is its design! Other than the Power button, it only has 2 buttons which are used for next and previous slides. That way, you don’t get confused when presenting and end up showing slides that you aren’t meant to!

The best part is that it is not obnoxiously expensive! For all the features that it encompasses, Spotlight is quite affordable.

Check out the latest price by clicking on the button below.

2. Beboncool RF Wireless Presenter [Most Budget Friendly]

The Beboncool is pretty budget-friendly and also has an integrated laser pointer. It is made out of unique ABS material which is environmentally friendly.

To use it, you do not have to install any software. Just plug in and it is ready for some action – which is quite helpful.

It has all the standard features available on the remote. It works with both Windows and Mac. Furthermore, it can also be used with PowerPoint and Keynote along with Google Slides.

The only drawback (if we can call it that) is that it doesn’t come with a battery. So, you really can’t just unbox and use it directly! But, for most people, that shouldn’t be a problem I suppose.

3. DinoFire Presentation Clicker [Most Ergonomic]

DinoFire pointer comes with quite a sleek and ergonomic design. It is comfortable to hold in your hands.

It has 3 clicky buttons and one integrated laser pointer. Some of the other features that it offers are as follows –

• Range of 100 feet
• Wide Compatibility – Works with all Windows operating systems, Mac and Linux. Furthermore, it also works with PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides
• Magnetic USB receiver – this ensures that the receiver doesn’t accidentally fall off.
• 3-year guarantee on USB receiver – this is really cool! If you end up losing the receiver, the manufacturer will replace the receiver for you completely free for the first 3 years! This is one thing that I definitely loved about this clicker!
• Low power indicator – another helpful feature is the low power indicator. This feature ensures that your presentation clicker doesn’t ditch you in the middle of your presentation!

If you are looking for a presenter remote on a budget, I would recommend DinoFire presentation clicker with my eyes closed! Apart from being the most ergonomic, I also feel that this is the best all-round remote on a budget!

4. DinoFire Presenter Remote with Air Mouse [Best Features on a Budget]

The DinoFire presenter remote with remote air is compatible with any USB A or USB type C device.

It is also a future-proof purchase for you as it works with Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Not only that, this two-in-one receiver will provide you 164 feet of wireless coverage. Besides being a presentation clicker, it can also be used as a mouse!

It actually comes packed with a loads of features! Let’s take a look at some of the most helpful features –

• Rechargeable battery – you will never run out of power on this device as you can just plug it into an electric socket and use it. It takes about 1.5 hours to charge fully and runs for about 8-10 hours on operation.
• Also functions as a real mouse – with a click of a button, you can switch from a presenter to an air mouse!
• Green Light as a pointer – this presentation clicker comes with a green light. The advantage of green light is that it works even with TV screens. It is also far more powerful than a red laser light; thus easily visible.
• High range – Clicker range up to 50 feet, mouse range is about 80 feet, and light range is about 300 feet.
• Battery indicator – it also comes with a battery indicator that starts flashing red when the battery is low.
• Compatibility – this DinoFire presentation remote is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. It also works with Google Slides, PowerPoint, Keynote, and a few other applications.

5. Logitech Wireless Presenter R400 [Best Branded Remote on a Budget]

The Logitech R400 is perfect for professional usage and compatible with all windows versions. It has a strong red laser to highlight your presentation content. The most attractive part is that it has touch-sensitive buttons and 50 feet wireless coverage.

While it does come with most of the standard features, there are a couple of drawbacks to keep in mind though –

• It requires 2 AAA batteries to use
• It is only compatible with Windows

That said, you do get a trusted product with a fail-proof brand name like Logitech at quite a low price point!

How to Use a Presentation Clicker?

As mentioned previously, the presentation clicker will usually have at least the previous and the next button on it.

To use a presentation clicker, first, connect it to the computer. Then, enter the presentation into presenter mode. Finally, press the ‘Previous’ and the ‘Next’ buttons on the clicker to move the slides ahead or back in the presentation. To use the laser pointer, press and hold the laser button.

Using a presentation clicker is actually not difficult at all. So, don’t worry if you have not used it before. That said, presentation clickers usually have their buttons placed differently and it varies based on the model and the brand.

Some clickers come with additional functionality such as converting the clicker into a mouse. It can be annoying when you have to adjust to a presentation clicker every time. However, it is better to spend 5 minutes orienting yourself with the clicker before starting with the presentation rather than committing a mistake during the presentation.

What Else is a Presentation Clicker Called?

There are several names used for a presentation clicker! You may hear other people refer to it as a Presentation Remote, Wireless Clicker, Slide Clicker, PowerPoint Remote, Presentation Pointer among others!

You can rest assured, all these actually mean the same thing!

How to Set Up a Wireless Presentation

Last Updated: December 7, 2023

wikiHow is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, volunteer authors worked to edit and improve it over time. This article has been viewed 63,322 times. Learn more...

Presentations in the old days only had only one main component: the presenter. Teachers, preachers, and politicians are all presenters, one way or another. This works just fine when the presenter mostly explains common and familiar issues. But when they need to discuss a more complicated subject, visual aids are absolutely necessary. For these presentations, there are three main components: the presenter, the computer, and the multimedia projector. If you as the presenter have to be tied to your computer and projector via a cable, your movements will be restricted and it might infringe upon the flow of your presentation. Using a wireless setup can free up your presentation and help it flow better, so read on to learn how.

Using a wireless presenter

• Using this clicker allows you to remove away from the computer, walk around the stage, and engage more closely with the audience, without giving up control of the computer.

• Put in any necessary batteries or other requirements for your clicker.
• Once the receiver connects to your computer, it will automatically install the necessary driver. Wait until this process finishes before proceeding.

• Check the user manual for the maximum distance covered by the wireless presenter. When giving the presentation, make sure you do not move beyond that distance.

Expert Q&A

• Sometimes the projector already comes with an internal WPG. In this case, no VGA cable is needed. Simply turn on the projector and follow the instructions. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
• Each brand of WPG and wireless projector has its own software. If your office has different brands of WPG or wireless projectors in every meeting room, you might need to install the software for each of them. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

Best Presentation Clicker [Complete Guide for 2023]

If you’re going to be taken seriously in your presentation, the last thing you want to be doing is walking back to your laptop and changing the slides. Or worse, asking someone else to do it for you. You can avoid all of this just by getting a good presentation clicker, which will allow you to present your work with ease and a level of class.

But, there are a lot of different presentation clickers on the market and it can be really difficult to tell which one would be best for your needs. So, I’m going to run through some of the options that are currently available so that you have a good idea which would suit you most.

Best Presentation Clicker

Logitech Spotlight

The Logitech Spotlight has been around for a few years now, and it’s become one of Logitech’s best selling clickers. However, it wasn’t always popular as it isn’t a typical presentation clicker.

The Spotlight doesn’t have the same laser pointer that you’ll get with most others out there. Instead of the laser, it actually highlights wherever you’re pointing on the screen with a small illuminated circle.

This is much better for people who are going to be using the pointer on screens, as typically laser pointers don’t show up that well on screens. You can actually also magnify the area on the screen where you’re pointing too, which can be advantageous in big meeting rooms. But, it can take a little while to get used to.

It can also be annoying for those who will be using the pointer on different computers in different rooms, as you’ll have to set the Spotlight up each time that you use it.

Another good point about the Spotlight is that you can charge it via a USB connection. This is much better than having to restock on AAA batteries, which can be a pain with some pointers.

Plus, the Logitech Spotlight has Bluetooth built-in, so you can connect it your your computer or laptop quite easily. You won’t need to worry about any other kind of hassle linking it up to your device.

So sum it up, this is probably the best clicker for presentations currently available. It’s slick, easy to use and you get a decent range too. The only downside to the Logitech Spotlight is that it might be a little expensive for those that just want the basics. However, if you can afford it, then it would make a good investment.

Verdict: Although it is costly, this wireless presenter is one of the best options on the market. Check out our full Logitech Spotlight review if you’re not convinced.

Kensington Wireless Red Laser Clicker

For those looking for a cheap yet reliable presentation clicker, then I’d advise you to take a look at this Kensington model. Whilst it only has a 60 foot range, this will likely be more than enough for the majority of people.

This clicker has pretty much everything you would need. Along with the 60 foot range you have a nice ergonomic design, which fits into your hand comfortably.

The device will switch off to reserve battery when you’re not using it, which means you can keep the dongle plugged into your laptop or computer if you wish. It’s actually a little larger than it appears in the pictures online, but it is still quite light.

As wireless presentation remotes go, this one is very easy to set up and use. It works well with different operating systems, and there’s no need for you to install any presentation software either.

So, if you aren’t looking for any fancy features and you just want a clicker that will allow you to run through presentations easily, then this is probably your best bet.

Verdict: If you’re looking for a reliable presentation remote, then it is hard to look past this Kensington wireless presenter.

Another pretty good option for those looking for a presentation clicker on a budget is this Doosl remote. It has all the capabilities of a more expensive remote, just with a lower price tag attached.

What makes this model a pretty good option is its sleek design, which is similar to that of a thick marker pen. It’s very easy to pop it into your pocket, and it also has a clip attached to you can make sure you don’t lose it too.

It works up to a 100m distance as well, so you don’t need to worry about being too far away. Having this long distance usage gives you full freedom to move around any lecture hall or presentation area.

It’s fully compatible with any different software you need to use it with, be it Powerpoint, Google Slides or Keynote. You can easily recharge it via a USB port, and it doesn’t take long to set it up and get it running. In fact, you can get it up and ready within just a few minutes of your time.

So whilst this device isn’t a well known brand like Logitech or Kensington, it still does the job pretty well. Plus, it’s fairly cheap too, and there’s no long setup process as you get with more expensive presentation pointers.

Verdict: Another option for those who are looking for a slimline green laser pointer.

Kensington Presenter Expert

The Kensington Expert is another viable choice if you’re looking for a good presentation pointer. It uses a green laser, which will suit some people more than a red laser, as typically green is more visible for most.

One of the best things about the Kensington expert is its simplicity. It’s very easy to use, as it only has 4 directional buttons and a central select button. You can turn it off when it’s not in use too, which can help you to maximize its battery life.

Whilst this might not seem important, sometimes you’ll likely be presenting in a dark or dimly lit room. So, it can be really important to be able to control your presentation without actually looking at the remote.

With the Kensington Expert, you can easily switch between presentation mode and cursor mode, which will save you from having to rush back to your laptop to make any changes.

It will work equally as well on both Mac and Windows, so it doesn’t matter what operating system you use. Overall, the Kensington Expert is another good option and quite a professional presenter, but perhaps a little expensive for what you’re actually getting.

Verdict: Work well with a 2.4GHz wireless receiver, this is another presentation remote that deserves to be considered.

Logitech R400

The Logitech R400 has been around for absolutely ages, and it’s still a popular choice for those looking for the basics. The R400 is the little brother of the R700 and the R800.

The only differences between the R400 and the other variations are the range they have, and the colour of the pointer itself. Whilst the Logitech R800 uses a green laser, the R400 uses a red laser instead. However, the R400 still has a 50 foot range, which should be more than enough for most people.

The main thing that the R400 has going for it is the low cost – it’s the cheapest Logitech clicker available, and many people want to stick with using an established brand like Logitech (a good idea!).

The model itself is pretty standard, working via a USB connection only. It’s lightweight, and the controls on the remote are pretty self explanatory, so anyone could use this clicker easily.

If you want the updated version of the R400 released in 2018, then you might want to check out the Logitech R500 . It has Bluetooth connection and a range up to 11 feet.

However, it’s typically twice as expensive as the R400, so it really depends on whether it’s worth it for you.

Verdict: The Logitech R400 has stood the test of time, and is still one of the better presentation clickers available.

Common Questions about Presentation Clickers

What is a presentation clicker.

If you’re wondering what exactly a presentation clicker is, then you’re not alone. They’re called different things by so many people that it can be difficult to know exactly what they are! They’re also referred to as presentation pointers and sometimes presentation remotes too. You generally use the to click through presentations, using Powerpoint or Google slides. Often, they’ll come with a laser attached to the top, so you can point out anything in your slides to the audience that’s watching.

What colour laser is best for a presentation pointer?

Well, presenters like the Logitech Spotlight don’t use a laser at all, and it’s likely that more and more of us will start using this type of technology. Though, most people nowadays are still using laser pointers. And for this, green is the clearest laser colour to see for most people – it’s much easier to see than a red laser pointer.

Will my presentation clicker work on a Mac?

Yes, your presentation pointer should work on a Mac without any issues. With certain pointers, you might have to install some software for it to work properly. But for the most part, you can use your wireless presentation remote on either Mac or Windows.

Can I use a phone as a presentation clicker?

You can use your phone as a presentation clicker – there are some good apps you can download if you want that can help you with this. Unfortunately, you can’t use your phone as a pointer, as there isn’t an app (or decent one that I’ve used, anyway) that can clearly point onto a screen.

Will my presentation clicker work on a TV?

Depending on which presentation pointer you use, some will point onto a TV easily, whereas others won’t. It’s worth looking at the reviews beforehand to get an idea of whether it will work on a TV, as it really depends on the model. For televisions, you can look at a clicker like the Logitech Spotlight, which doesn’t rely on a laser pointer to work.

With the Logitech Spotlight being the most used pointer in recent years, it seems pretty clear that we are moving away from the technology of the typical laser presentation pointer. Although a laser still works, if you can highlight an area on a presentation clearly with a remote, then it makes sense to do this as opposed to shining a laser across the room.

For now though, presentation pointers using lasers still seem to be extremely popular and used within office and education environments. A presentation pointer can make things much clearer for those watching your presentation, so if you want to present something fluidly, a pointer is an essential tool to have.
