Satechi R1 Bluetooth Presentation Remote, Wireless Presenter for PowerPoint & Keynote, for MacBook Air/Pro M5/M4, iPad Air/Pro M5/M4/M3, iPad mini, Mac mini, iMac

This is an excellent presentation remote. The body has some weight to it and doesn't feel like cheap plastic. The buttons are the right size and intuitively placed. It pairs hassle free with Bluetooth. It's excellent if you want use PowerPoint on an iPad Pro as I do. The USB remotes won't work with an iPad without an adapter because there's no port.This was a bit pricey but I've used it now in several presentations and it was well worth the money.

I got tired of having to plug in a USB dongle to use a clicker - this works great, no delay no problems. BTW if you use a USB A port that is part of a multi port to connect to your USB C on your MACBook or iPad, it does not always work, this is why I tried this and it works all the time. Plus it has a great feel in your hand while you are presenting.

Bought this item a year ago. Worked great at first. Looked really nice, but then it would randomly jump multiple slides during presentations. Currently it won't pair with my MacBook. Not sure if a low charge is the issue with it connecting to the computer. At the very least, my dog likes the laser pointer.

So this actually worked out of the box with my GFs iPad Air, specifically in the books app. She wanted a remote page turner, and this has turned out to be a perfect solution for that. Sure it’s intended for presentation use, but it’s high quality and the big buttons to turn the page are fantastic.

I’m keeping this Satechi R1–works great on my iPad Air 13” for viewing photos in the camera roll and it has a red laser pointer. It is Bluetooth only and pairing was easy following the supplied directions. Pressing the large RIGHT arrow button advances the photo; the smaller LEFT arrow button goes back to the previous photo. The size is good but the housing is slick—a textured finish would be nice. It comes with a USB C-to-USB C charging cable.Note that it does NOT move pages up or down as with lists, email or documents. I have another BT device that moves pages up/down but doesn’t advance/reverse photos—it would be nice to have a BT device that does both. Satechi offers a R2 for multimedia but the Up/Down buttons are for volume and does not appear to have a laser pointer.The Virtual Keyboard button brings up the keyboard for writing text messages, emails and notes, but not for adding text to photos. The Black Screen button does not appear to work on my iPad but it does add the letter “B” to text messages, emails and notes—this may be due to the iPad’s iOS. The instruction sheet says it will not work with Windows devices. These are not a problem for me.It has a small ON/OFF switch on the bottom. This may be good to save the battery but could be a problem if you leave it ON after use and it drains the battery. The instruction sheet does not say if it has a AUTO-OFF feature but does say it has up to a 6-month battery life heavily based on laser usage.IMO, the price is a little high but would be fair if it had Page Up/Down buttons and an Auto-OFF feature.

Worked perfectly with my iPad and PowerPoint. Very pleased!

Good button feel. Smooth surface. Strong laser pointer. Usd-c charge port. Compatible with mac and PC. Fast Bluetooth pairing

This product is touted as a bluetooth remote control for PowerPoint (and others) presentations. Powerpoint is a Microsoft product. I attempted to use this pointer with a Microsoft Surface laptop running Windows. It has Bluetooth and I was using PowerPoint. The pointer would not connect, telling me "driver error." A message to the company (Satechi) curtly said "Product does not work on Microsoft or Windows hosts." Well crap. Sure enough, the long list of compatible machines in the product description does not say "Windows." It's a long line of Apple products. But PowerPoint is mentioned time and again. And Bluetooth. Yes, I should have read the list of compatible machines closer in the product description title. But I think the description is misleading when it pushes its PowerPoint capabilities. I think I just got bamboozled out of $50.
