not linux supported features.
You can't use it. As a linux user this product is not worth buying (features such as zoom, timer, and highlight are not supported). you can only use it as a simply "wireless-mouse".
Pro
- nice design
Contra
- not linux supported
My new all-purpose tool for presentations, laser pointers are history.
Software works unexpectedly easy & well and helps super with setup. You can activate between 0..3 configurations for the Spot button and switch live during the presentation by double-clicking.
As soon as you press the Spot button, the current orientation in 3D is used to place the pointer on the screen, everything else is then relatively in motion to it. Works easier than it sounds :-D
However, there is a problem in the presenter mode of MS PowerPoint: The spot is not only active on the beamer, but also on the laptop monitor, in my case it was sometimes on the laptop and I had to bring it over to the beamer by twisting it by hand.Pro
- Easy to use
- delivers what it promises
- light in the hand
- Battery life eeeeeeewy
Contra
- High price for such a small piece of hardware
- Little things in the software that will surely come with the next updates
Anyone who presents often needs such a device.
Sensational with the software. Without it quite unnecessary. Anyone who often presents in front of large TV screens instead of projectors NEEDS this device.
Pro
- Runs super smooth
- Handy
- Super Software
- Easy installation
Contra
- Price

Nasty trap!
Pro
- Extremely practical & ideally suited for presentations
Contra
- after approx. 8 months of pandemically justified "non-use", the battery is dead.
- Battery cannot be changed, Logitech does not even respond to several requests to this effect.
- For (at that time) approx. CHF 93.00 - UNBALANCED!
I use the Spotlight with a mac... not convinced of the pointing system... however, during a presentation, it can be used as a remote control to pass the slides
Disappointed with the product. I expected the system to be more responsive and the software to offer more customisation.
Contra
- Not very responsive
- No laser pointing
Expensive paperweight when the battery is empty
Used the presenter successfully for a long time. Super design, works great.
Needs additional software, but then you get nice spotlight effects instead of a laser light on the wall.
Since Remote Work, the device is rarely used. And if you just leave it in your pocket, the battery dies. It can't be replaced, or only with a lot of tinkering (see iFix it). Logitech offers no support or discounted replacement.
Now I have a very expensive paperweight. Looks great. But is super frustrating.
Hands off if you don't need it weekly!Pro
- Top product if used regularly
- Software with good additional functions such as Spotlight
Contra
- ACCURY STOPS
Disappointing
I was looking forward to the presenter. The timer function in particular is very useful.
But: If you don't use the presenter for a while, the battery can no longer be charged. It is also hardly replaceable (probably not intended by Logitec).
What a pity. This turns the product into a disposable item. I don't think that's sustainable.Pro
- light
- Additional features
Contra
- Battery not replaceable
- Partly cumbersome use
- Additional software required

Device shoots itself
The battery discharges itself and puts the device into a mode where you can't even charge it. Using the instructions on the Internet, you could open it and charge it with an external power supply. That way you could save it. After a few days, the game will certainly start all over again. So it's absolutely only something for frequent users, those who leave it plugged in and hobbyists...
But here's some positive feedback for Digitec: they responded to my problems in an accommodating manner.Pro

Great, elegant, functional
Probably the best pointer for me. It is really useful for LCD screen where you cannot use a laser. And it has triple functionality; laser, highlight, and zoom. It takes a bit of getting used to but once you get good at it, your presentations will look much more professional. Beware though sometimes the lag between the bluetooth connection to the pc and then from the pc to the projector can become noticeable. So you really need to practice and get used to it.
absolutely recommended, I would buy again at any time
Cool thing to draw attention to a presentation with something other than a green or red dot. When presenting, a PP or a PDF does not even have to be active, it works in practically all the programmes I use.
Pro
- a bit of surprise effect
- easy to use
- Quick and easy to set up
- Small and handy
- Design
- Also works for me with CAD and other programmes (e.g. Office).
Contra
- Response time partly two three seconds
- needs a little more computing power than 08-15
High-quality presenter with a wide range of functions
I am very satisfied. Presenter works perfectly, as it should. The control of the spotlight is a bit more difficult than that of a laser point, but works well overall and also offers more possibilities (marking, light/shadow, magnifying glass). It is also nice that the mouse pointer can be controlled remotely, e.g. to click on a link in a presentation. The only caveat is that the magnifier needs sufficiently powerful hardware to run smoothly. Would buy the device again!
Pro
- Good workmanship, looks high quality
- Multiple highlighting options (marker, light/shadow, magnifier)
Contra
- Magnifier requires strong hardware
- Control of the spotlight somewhat more difficult than control of a laser point
Innovative and practical product
Phenomenal product! Easy to set up, can be connected to the PC via Bluetooth or via a receiver (included in the set). The settings give you a lot of options, e.g. to adjust the spotlight size to your own needs. Further functions and settings can be found on the product website (provides a good overview of all functions).
The only "shortcoming" (to be criticised on a high level) is that when you press the Spotlight button, there is a very short delay until the Spotlight actually appears and, above all, can be "moved". This requires a little practice before the presentation.
Otherwise, a great product including the most important feature from my point of view: the timer!Pro
- Intuitive operation
- Timer included
- Flexible settings (spotlight, timer, other functions)
Contra
- short delay of the spotlight
Clear buy recommendation
BEST PRESENTER EVER
Spotlight fits perfectly in the hand and feels very pleasantly valuable. Unlike its plastic counterparts.
The Spotlight function is the ultimate special effect for every presentation. The magnifying glass function and the gesture controls (volume +/-, scrolling, etc.) are also very innovative and extremely useful.
The cursor function, which can be used, for example, to select or start videos in a presentation, is also particularly practical. As far as I know, no other presenters offer these functions.
The software is very simply designed and helpful so that I can adjust the parameters to my current needs at any time with just a few clicks.Pro
- Superior functionality (spotlight, magnifying glass function, gesture controls, cursor function)
- Surprising effects
- Very handy
- Intuitive operation
- Very clear and intuitive to use software
I would not buy again
Not yet fully developed
Mac can then often no longer be controlled with touch pad.
Hope for an update of this app soonPro
- Something new for a change
Contra
- Not yet mature
- Not quite optimal to control, as mostly wrong starting place

I think this tool is simply perfect
Pro
- It is self-explanatory
Contra
- This product has no disadvantages
Ingenious
I am thrilled.
Pro
- You are more flexible when moderating
- Digital laser pointer is great
Looks nice, does only the bare minimum and is far too expensive
The device is elegant and elegantly packaged, but far too expensive for what it can do.
There is no documentation, the operating instructions are 2 pages long and more of an advertising brochure than a manual. It doesn't tell you how the thing works.
The thing lets you control a cursor like a mouse by moving the thing.
There is a function that allows you to highlight areas of the presentation like a torch, hence the name "Spotlight". The only problem is that you can hardly see the rest of the slide. A laser pointer would really be better.
If you want this torch functionality, you have to download an app that wants to access pretty much everything and anything on your computer, which made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I'm going to uninstall it immediately.Pro
- Looks beautiful
- Scrolls forwards and backwards as expected
- You can move a cursor on the presentation
Contra
- Far too expensive for what it can do!
Fineness and reaction speed leave something to be desired
Pro
- Vibration feedback
Contra
- Logi Options+ is bloatware

As always, I was very well served!
Thank you very much and regardsExcellent product for dynamic presentations
Looks good
I bought this presenter because of the good reviews and the advertised timer function and the connection to the device via bluetooth. However, the Logitech software is required for this and for starting videos. And that's the catch, it hasn't been updated for a long time, which is why these functions are not available to me at all. So I can only click the PowerPoint presentation forwards and backwards and have to connect the presenter to the adapter on the laptop.
Pro
- Great look
- handy
Contra
- No current software available, which is why not all functions can be used
- No integrated laser pointer
Hands off this part!
Once the battery is discharged (prolonged non-use), the part can be thrown away!
Contra
- Battery not replaceable
Press - and it clicks
Pro
- Time Management with timer
- Easy to connect
- Easy to use
Contra
- Could not load the computer...
- Presentation crashed
- Tool innocent
Cool pointer
Pro
- Great gadget
- Casual features (magnifying glass function, for example)
Contra
- Price
- Extra Software
If the laser pointer is not visible on the flat screen -> the solution :)
I've already organised a second one because it's simply part of the presentation standard.
Pro
- No battery replacement
- Compact
- Also works for monitors (not with laser pointers)
- Very good recognisability
Contra
- Must always be loaded for use
- No visual battery status display on the pointer
- Software must be installed. However, very simple
Right on, Logitech Spotlight
Pro
- Works as described
- Handy
- Battery lasts long
Lack of range - Poor battery
The range and reliability are not very high. The battery is quickly defective when not in use.
There were very embarrassing moments because it simply didn't work on a big stage and the presentation was a total flop.
The battery is totally flawed and doesn't deliver what it promises.
With enough range and a decent battery, this thing would be really great.Pro
- easy
- practical
- easy to control
- Easy to program
Contra
- Battery quickly defective when not in use
- Range poor
- Battery charge small
- soon ends up in the rubbish because it no longer works shortly after the warranty expires.
Simple installation and operation
Pro
- Simply
- Installation
- Application
Perfect for your face-to-face or videoconference presentations
Pro
- Easy to use
- Plug & Play
Works perfectly.
Good tool with new possibilities against a simple laser pointer and works perfectly on screens.
For me, holding the pointer steady with my hand when it is not supported is a rather shaky affair.
But that's not the problem with the device, it's my steady hand. :)Pro
- Good opportunities to show and highlight
Contra
- On large screens, wiggling with a free hand is difficult.
