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

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
  • 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.

1: Logitech R800 (Best Overall)

2: Kensington Wireless Presenter K33272WW (Best Basic)

3: Kensington K72426AMA (Best Cursor Control)

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 July 2nd, 2024.

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)

Why a Long Range PowerPoint Clicker is Necessary

As someone who frequently gives presentations, I know how important it is to have a reliable and effective clicker. A good clicker can help you to keep your presentation on track and make sure that you don’t miss a beat.

One of the most important features of a long range clicker is its range. A good clicker should be able to work from a distance of at least 30 feet, so that you don’t have to worry about getting up close to your computer to advance slides or control the presentation. This is especially important if you are giving a presentation in a large room or auditorium.

Another important feature of a long range clicker is its ease of use. The clicker should be simple to operate, with a few buttons that you can easily identify and use. You don’t want to have to fumble with the clicker during your presentation, so it’s important to choose one that you’re comfortable with.

Finally, a good long range clicker should be durable. You’ll be using it frequently, so it’s important to choose one that is made of high-quality materials and will last for a long time.

After using a long range clicker for several years, I can confidently say that it is an essential tool for any presenter. It has helped me to give more polished and professional presentations, and I would recommend it to anyone who gives presentations on a regular basis.

Here are some of the specific benefits of using a long range clicker:

  • You can keep your hands free. A long range clicker allows you to control your presentation without having to hold a remote control in your hand. This can be especially helpful if you are using a laser pointer or other presentation tool.
  • You can move around the stage. A long range clicker gives you the freedom to move around the stage while you are presenting. This can help you to engage with your audience and make your presentation more dynamic.
  • You can make smooth transitions between slides. A good long range clicker will allow you to advance slides smoothly and without any delays. This can help you to keep your presentation on track and make sure that you don’t miss a beat.

If you are looking for a way to improve your presentations, I highly recommend investing in a long range clicker. It is an essential tool for any presenter who wants to give polished and professional presentations.

How do you connect a presentation clicker.

Connecting a remote clicker is straightforward but may vary slightly based on your specific model and device. However, the general steps to connect a clicker are as follows:

  • Insert Batteries: Open the clicker’s battery compartment and insert the required batteries.
  • Turn On the Clicker: Many clickers have a power button or a switch to turn them on.
  • Connect the USB Receiver: Most clickers have a USB receiver that connects to your computer or device. Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
  • Pair the Bluetooth clicker. If you use a Bluetooth clicker, you may need to pair it with your computer or device. To do this, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your computer, put the clicker in pairing mode (usually by holding down a specific button), and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process.
  • Test the Clicker: Once the clicker is powered on and connected to your computer, you can test its functionality. Open your software (e.g., PowerPoint) and try navigating the slides using the clicker’s buttons.
  • Troubleshooting: If the clicker is not working correctly, ensure that the batteries are inserted properly, the USB receiver is connected securely, and the clicker is within the specified wireless range of your computer.

Remember that specific instructions may vary based on the brand and model of your clicker. Always refer to the user manual provided with your clicker for detailed setup and troubleshooting instructions.

How do I use a remote clicker in PowerPoint?

Using a remote clicker in PowerPoint is a simple and effective way to control your next presentation. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a remote clicker in PowerPoint:

  • Connect the Clicker: Ensure your clicker is turned on and the USB receiver (or Bluetooth connection if it’s a Bluetooth clicker) is correctly connected to your computer. 
  • Start the Presentation: Open your PowerPoint presentation on your computer.
  • Hold the Clicker: Hold the clicker comfortably, ensuring easy button access.
  • Advance Slides: During your speech, click the forward (or next) button on the clicker to move to the next slide. The slide should also change on your computer screen.
  • Go Back: To return to the previous slide, press the back button on the clicker.
  • Use Other Functions (if available): Some clickers offer additional functions, such as laser pointers, highlighting, blank screens, or timer controls. Refer to the user manual or the clicker’s buttons to access these features.
  • End the Presentation: When you finish, click the “Esc” key on your keyboard or use the clicker’s function to exit full-screen mode and return to PowerPoint.

Is green or red laser better for presentation?

Both green and red laser pointers can be practical, but each has its advantages and considerations:

Green Laser Pointers:

  • Visibility: Green lasers are generally more visible to the human eye than red ones, especially in brightly lit rooms or when projecting on screens with high ambient light.
  • Long Range: Green lasers tend to have a more extended range than red lasers, making them suitable for larger venues and auditoriums.
  • Professional Look: Green lasers often appear more vibrant and professional, which can enhance the presenter’s image.

Red Laser Pointers:

  • Cost-Effective: Red lasers are more common and often affordable than green ones.
  • Suitable for Small Rooms: Red lasers can be as effective as green ones in smaller meeting rooms or classrooms with lower ambient light.
  • Eye Safety: Some green lasers may have a higher power output, which can concern eye safety. Conversely, red lasers are generally considered safer and are often used with lower power ratings.

Regardless of the color, always ensure the laser pointer you choose is within safe power levels and handle it responsibly to avoid any potential hazards.

How do I make PowerPoint slides move automatically?

To make your PowerPoint slides advance automatically, follow these steps:

  • Open your PowerPoint presentation.
  • Click on the “Slide Show” tab in the top menu.
  • In the “Set Up” group, click “Set Up Slide Show.”
  • In the “Set Up Show” dialog box, under the “Show type” section, select “Presented by a speaker (full screen).”
  • “Use timings, if present” – This option will advance the slides automatically based on your set timings for each slide. 
  • “Manually” – This option requires you to click the mouse or use the keyboard to advance the slides.
  • If you want to set specific timings for each slide, go back to your presentation, and in the “Normal” view, select the slide you want to set timings for.
  • Click on the “Transitions” tab in the top menu.
  • In the “Timing” group, you can specify the “After” time under “Advance Slide.” This will determine how long the slide will remain on the screen before advancing to the next one.
  • Repeat Step 8 for each slide you want to advance automatically.
  • Save your presentation.

Now, when you start the slideshow, the slides will advance automatically according to the timings you’ve set or the option you’ve chosen in the “Set Up Show” dialog box. Rehearse your presentation to ensure the timings align with your speaking pace and content delivery.

Guide to the Best Wireless Presenters (Presentation Remotes) for 2023

Photo of author

In both the corporate and educational world, giving presentations is an important part of life. Anything that can help your presentation go smoothly can have a positive effect on your career. Luckily, there’s plenty of technology out there that can help you out in this area. Digital projectors are clearer and easier to see than the models we had available only a few short years ago, and most can now integrate with remote controllers.

Your typical remote controller is nothing more than a button that allows you to advance to the next slide. But there are a few models out there that offer much more control than this. You can start and stop multimedia, go back to a previous slide, or even use a laser pointer to draw attention to specific parts of your presentation. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at the three best presentation remotes on the market.

Canon PR10-G Wireless Presentation Remote

Whether you’re looking for the latest photo gear, a high-quality printer, or powerful business technology, Canon is an excellent choice. They’ve been manufacturing presentation remotes for quite some time now, but the PR10-G is the latest in modern presentation technology.

Canon PR10-G

The Canon PR10-G Wireless Presentation Remote is easy to hold in the hand, but built to withstand a lot of use and abuse. It’s made from injection molded plastic, tastefully designed with a lightly textured pattern that makes it both resistant to scratches and easy to hold. Right where your thumb rests are the easy to push buttons. They use rubber dome actuators that provide a firmer press but won’t wear out with time. At the top you’ve got a handy LCD display. This screen can be used for a variety of reasons. Most people will use it for timing your presentations.

I’m sure we all know how important this is. When rehearsing, it’s easy to set a timeline and stick to it. But once you get in front of people, you find that you’re either spending too much time on one topic, or rushing through the presentation quicker than you expected. With the timer, you’ll be able to find out where you are at with just a quick glance at the face of the display. You can also use the timer to keep track of where you are at in your presentation if you’ve integrated it with video or audio media.

Canon PR10-G

Perhaps the most important feature of any wireless presenter is the control layout. This is one of the many areas where the Canon model really excels. At the top, you’ve got the large button that turns the laser pointer on or off. A partial press will keep the light on as long as it’s held down. But if you depress it all the way, the laser will stay on until pressed a second time.

Below that you’ve got the typical forward and backwards buttons. Below each of those, there are two unique buttons you might not have seen before. The first is the “expand” button. This can be used with both PowerPoint or Keynote to blow up an image, video, or diagram to full size. Press it again to return to the standard size. On the right, you’ve got the start / stop button that can trigger playback of multimedia.

Canon PR10-G

Compatibility

The Canon PR10-G is designed to work straight out of the box with Apple’s Keynote or Microsoft’s PowerPoint. You won’t need to go through any complicated setup procedure, just unpack it and start using it.

The biggest issue with compatibility is range. Presentation remotes often have to choose between standard Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi direct. Bluetooth is the most compatible of all standards, but suffers from short range. Wi-Fi direct works only with modern devices, but supports a longer range. Canon found a creative solution for this problem. Their remote comes bundled with a high-powered Bluetooth transceiver that plugs into the USB port on any Mac or Windows computer. This allows them to use a higher-powered setting that isn’t supported by all devices. The end result is a huge 100-foot range, allowing the remote to be used in even the largest presentation rooms.

Even without drivers, the presentation remote can be used with any Windows computer from Vista SP2 and up. This means that Windows 7, 8, and 10 all work out of the box. Mac OS 10.5 and up are supported, meaning that the remote will work with any Intel based Mac released in the last 11 years.

Canon PR10-G

The stand out feature of this remote is the powerful green laser. This laser pointer might look a little different from the standard red ones, but it’s up to 8 times brighter than the red wavelength. This means that even in the brightest most well-illuminated room, you’ll have no problem drawing attention to the most important parts of your presentation.

Another great feature of canons presentation remote is the vibration feature. You can easily set notifications at various points throughout your presentations to help keep you on track. It will automatically vibrate one, five, or ten minutes before the end to remind you to wrap things up. You can also set the timer to vibrate at any other point, as needed.

Kensington Wireless Presenter

If the name rings a bell, it’s because Kensington is known primarily for their high-quality laptop security devices. The Kensington lock is generally accepted as being one of the locks on the market. Their remote presenter goes hand in hand with these locks, as you’ll often want to keep your notebook safe while you give your presentation.

Kensington Wireless Presenter

The incredibly compact Kensington Wireless Presenter is designed to be simple and easy to use. While it’s not the most attractive of the bunch, you might be surprised to learn that it’s actually very comfortable to hold in the hand. Its strong curves fit with the curves of your hand, meaning that you’re not going to get uncomfortable even when you’re using it for long periods of time. Aside from the four buttons on the face, there isn’t really a whole lot of extras on this presentation remote. But the one thing we did really like was the USB port on the bottom. This can be used to charge the remote, but also provides a handy storage space for the USB receiver when not in use.

Kensington Wireless Presenter

The control scheme with this remote is simple, but still highly effective. The two buttons that you’ll use the most, the forward and backward buttons, are located on either side of the main section. On the opposite orientation, you’ve got the play and stop buttons. The main difference between this button and some of the more advanced models is that each one serves a single purpose.

Kensington Wireless Presenter

For example, Canon combined the play and stop buttons. If your media is currently playing, then the button will stop it, and vice versa. But this can create confusion in presentations where there are multiple media types, or if you change slides without stopping the previous media. To avoid any awkward mistakes, many presenters will prefer this simple control scheme.

Kensington Wireless Presenter

The Kensington Wireless Presenter decided to go for a high bandwidth method of communication to offer solid range without dropouts. Running on the 2.4 Ghz frequency, it requires that a USB dongle be used with your computer. This transceiver can be used with Windows 7, 8, and 10 PCs. It can also work with OSX systems from 10.6 and up. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint out of the box, but the drivers allow you to map the buttons to the keyboard. With a few quick clicks, you can set it up to control any presentation software you like.

Logitech R800 Professional Presenter

We’ve reviewed Logitech’s accessories many times before, and not once have we come across one that disappoints us. While their professional wireless presenter is much larger than some, the impressive range of included features makes this presenter just as powerful as it is large.

Logitech Professional Presenter R800

The Logitech R800 Professional Presenter is ergonomically designed to be comfortable to hold in the hand, and keeps all of your most important features easily accessible from the face. But aside from the standard controls, you’ve got access to a powerful LCD display on the face that performs much of the same features as the Canon model. It can help you keep track of how long you’ve bene presenting for, how long you’ve spent on a particular slide, or show you a countdown to a specific time.

Logitech Professional Presenter R800

The controls are quite similar to those on the Canon. You’ve got the forward and backward buttons for navigating between slides, the full screen button for expanding visual aids, and the play button to start and stop embedded media. But the unique feature on this remote is the programmable button located just below the display. You can configure this button to set any particular element you like, giving you a little more control over your presentation.

Logitech Professional Presenter R800

This wireless remote presenter is compatible with a wide range of Windows PCs, starting from Windows 7 and going up to the latest release of Windows 10. It uses the same wireless technology as the Cannon, requiring a dongle but giving you up to 100 ft (30 meters) of range.

Logitech Professional Presenter R800

The Logitech R800 Professional Presenter has a couple of features we’ve seen before, but are happy to see included. It’s got the timed vibration feature, which we found to be a little easier to use than the Canon model. The timer is set from the included features, and gives you a ton of control over how and when the timer goes off. You can set different types of vibrations for different alarms. For example, short pulses can signify an impending time limit, or long ones can remind you to move on to the next slide.

Another great feature of this remote is the same high powered green laser pointer we liked so much. Once you use such a bright pointer it’s unlikely that you’ll want to go back to the basic model.

Which Wireless Remote Presenter is Right for Me?

Not sure which one is right for your business? For most users, we’re recommend the Canon PR10-G . This remote is fully compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, and gives you plentiful controls and a powerful laser.

You might also want to consider the Logitech R800 Professional Presenter . This model adds a powerful timing system that lets you make the most of the built-in vibration feature.

Finally, there will be a few people who just need something simple for their presentations. In this case, you can’t go wrong with the Kensington Wireless Presenter . It’s affordable, easy to use, and reliable. If this is all you need, there is no sense is spending money on a high-end model.

2 thoughts on “Guide to the Best Wireless Presenters (Presentation Remotes) for 2023”

I am seeking a presenter which is compatible with Corel software on a PC running Windows 10. I will appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thank you.

Thank you for the great reviews. I am currently using a Kensington Presenter Pro that has been good for me for quite some time now. I like the size and the button layouts; the range is wonderful; and the green laser is plenty bright. That all said, the one thing that drives me mad is the clicking sounds of the buttons. How on earth did the design team feel this was okay. During a quiet part of a presentation when I’m not talking, but still advancing slides, this is completely distracting.

You did not happen to mention if any of these above have silent ‘soft touch’ buttons. I think the Canon might, but not sure. Can you please confirm which ones do and which ones don’t.

Thank you. Cheers! Kevin

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

Logitech Spotlight Wireless Presentation Remote, 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, USB-Receiver, Digital Laser Pointer, 30-Meter Operating Range, Dual Connectivity, Timer, PC/Mac/Android/iOS - Gold/White

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

Kensington Wireless USB Powerpoint Presentation Clicker with Red Laser Pointer, Compatible with Windows & macOS - 20 m Range (K33374EUB)

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.

No products found.

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

Kensington Presenter Expert Green Light Wireless Presenter with Cursor Control, Joystick and Backlight Buttons - Black

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

Logitech R400 Wireless Presentation Remote, 2.4 GHz, USB-Receiver, Red Laser Pointer, 15-Meter Operating Range, 6 Buttons, Intuitive Slideshow Control, Battery Indicator, PC - Black

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.

Buying guide for best presentation remotes.

Updated March 2024

The digital revolution has left an indelible mark on the world of presentations. PowerPoint and similar software programs give us visual aids that become the focal points during lectures and conferences. Enter the presentation remote, a speaker’s solution to cutting the cord. With a presentation remote, a presenter is free to work the room instead of being cloistered behind a computer during key discussions.

Presentation remotes solve a logistic problem for speakers, especially in larger rooms and auditoriums. Wireless control is freeing, and with a laser pointer in hand, a presenter can speak from a distance while guiding the audience with a focal point. Whether you’re an educator or keynote speaker, investing in a presentation remote is a must. We examined the best presentation remotes to help you decide which one is on-point with your public speaking needs.

best powerpoint presentation clicker

Key considerations

Battery type.

Presentation remotes are powered by either alkaline or rechargeable batteries. A remote that takes alkaline batteries will likely require one to four AAA batteries.

Presentation remotes with rechargeable batteries power up quickly and hold a charge for several hours. Keep in mind that these batteries aren’t removable or docked to an external device. You simply plug in the cord into an available USB hub .

If you’re leaning toward a remote that requires alkaline batteries but want the perks of a rechargeable remote, you could split the difference and invest in rechargeable batteries . They cost more than alkaline ones, but the investment pays off long-term with fewer battery purchases.

Consider the spaces where you’ll deliver presentations. Some remotes have very limited ranges of between 30 and 50 feet. These are better suited for classrooms and small conference rooms. For auditoriums and halls with a lot of square footage to cover, consider a presentation remote with a range between 100 and 300 feet.

USB receiver size

The USB receiver comes in a variety of sizes. Some are only millimeters in width; others are the size of a regular thumb drive. Many presentation remotes are designed to have the receiver pop into the handheld device itself. It usually clicks into place, so it’s secure during storage. Other USB receivers are completely separate pieces, safely kept in a case with the remote after use.

Compatibility

Some presentation remotes are designed to be compatible only with specific devices and software. Others boast blanket compatibility, citing compatibility with the oldest and newest technology in the presentation space. The latter is an attractive feature if you’re a traveling speaker who can’t always predict what will be in the room when you arrive.

best powerpoint presentation clicker

Color doesn’t play a huge role in presentation remotes, although there are some models that go beyond the rudimentary black and gray. For the most part, they’re monochromatic with occasional color pops on buttons and logos. Color accents of silver, gray, and white are usually contrast colors to indicate where the buttons are and in some cases, what they do.

Laser pointer

The laser pointer is another standard feature. Unlike other buttons on the remote, this one has to stay pressed to beam in most models. This design element is also a safety feature, as lasers should be used with discretion; you wouldn’t want to accidentally shine it in someone’s eyes or in their line of vision. Laser colors are either red or green. While some say green is easier to see than red, laser color is a matter of preference.

The placement, design, and responsibilities of the buttons vary between models.

Some presentation remotes have a D-pad (directional pad), a recognizable four-way button seen on video game controllers and TV and DVD remotes. The D-pad will either be a single button that moves in different directions or a series of slightly spaced individual buttons. The left and right buttons most often control slide commands (for example, go back or move to the next slide). The up and down buttons take on different responsibilities depending on the model; they may control the blank screen command, scroll through a screen, or turn on the laser pointer.

Power switch

The power switch has the most thoughtful placement on presentation remotes. Since no one wants a presentation to come to a screeching halt with technical difficulties, it’s usually neatly tucked away in a place with the least amount of hand contact. For some models, it’s on the side; for others, it’s on the back.

Blank screen

The blank screen button varies quite a bit between models, but it generally remains in the same location. It’s either part of a D-pad setup or situated close to the D-pad as an independent button.

In some models, there is a separate button to initiate a connection between the remote and computer. Other models simply connect as soon as they’re turned on.

Presentation remote prices

Presentation remotes typically cost less than $100, so if it’s something you plan to use on a regular basis, the price is palatable.

On the low end, there are presentation remotes between $10 and $25. These tend to be made with lower-quality materials and components and may not be as reliable as their pricier counterparts. Between $25 and $90, you’ll find better-performing models with a focus on ergonomic design. Products in this range are also compatible with more devices and software. There are some presentation remotes over the $90 mark, and these integrate other technology into their design. For example, the remote may also serve as a mouse , or it might have programmable functions.

best powerpoint presentation clicker

  • Remember your USB receiver. Once your presentation concludes, be sure to remove the USB receiver from the computer right away. Set a timer on your watch or phone as a reminder to take it before you leave the room.
  • Double-check your presentation. Make sure there are no issues between your presentation remote and your computer. Arrive early to the lecture hall or conference room to leave time for setup.
  • Keep your presentation remote in a case. If it didn’t come with a case, invest in a compact, padded one to keep the remote protected inside your bag or briefcase .
  • Clean your hands before use. Use your presentation remote with clean hands to keep dirt away from accumulating between buttons. Hand sanitizer can remove excess residue in a pinch if you don’t have time to wash your hands.
  • Keep spare batteries on hand . Be prepared with an extra set of batteries in your bag. While many people have spare phone chargers, sometimes it’s harder to locate batteries when you need them right away.

Other products we considered

Because so many models of presentation remotes share the same features — and even similar shapes and designs — we took a special look at some remotes outside the norm. The DinoFire Wireless Finger Ring USB PowerPoint Presentation Clicker breaks from the handheld tradition and wraps itself conveniently around your pointer finger. It’s rechargeable, taking only one hour to charge and lasting for seven days. Periods of low activity kick off its sleep mode, so this futuristic presentation remote-ring is a top battery-saving and space-saving option.

For time-conscious speakers, the Doosl Wireless Presenter Laser Pointer Green PowerPointer Clicker Remote LCD Display with Timer is essential. This model has a green LCD display that is programmable with vibrating alerts to help you keep time. It has a 300-foot wireless range thanks to a top-grade microchip, so it’s an ideal pick for speakers who like to move around in a large auditorium.

best powerpoint presentation clicker

Q. My presentation has moving text and images on each slide. Can I control those features with my presentation remote? A. It depends less on the remote and more on how you design your presentation. For example, a plain PowerPoint presentation will move to the next slide with a single click. If your presentation has moving images or text, each one requires a single click to progress. After all interactive parts of the slide are completed, a final click transitions to the next slide.

Q. I’m left-handed. Are some remotes easier to use than others? A. Most of the presentation remotes on the market have axial symmetry, which means you can reach buttons just as easily holding it in the left hand as the right. For remotes with a side power switch, it’s usually located on the left lateral side. If you’re concerned about accidentally hitting it during use, opt for a remote with the switch on the back. 

Q.  Because my presentation remote is wireless, do I need to worry about any other device interference? A. Sometimes there is interference or interruptions during use if your USB receiver is plugged into a computer with other wireless devices, like a wireless keyboard . You could disconnect them temporarily in settings or manually remove their USB receivers during your presentation.

Q. My presentation remote worked fine at home, but I can’t get it to work in this room/auditorium. Now what do I do? A. If there is someone technical in the room who can help, hopefully they can resolve the issue. If not, call for IT assistance. While you’re waiting for them to arrive, try the USB receiver in another computer. You can also try one in another room to determine whether the issue is the computer or the remote itself.

Best Presentation Clickers and Pointers

posted on February 7, 2020

best presentation clickers for powerpoint

Educators will also find a presentation clickers great help. A presentation remote will help teachers to move quickly and seamlessly through a presentation so even students with less attention will be able to focus.

Top-Rated Presentation Clickers

Wireless presentation pointers are simple USB plug-and-play devices, which means you just stick the receiver’s part of the presenter into a USB port and your device is ready to work for you.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the best presentation clickers.

Best Bluetooth Wireless Presentation Pointers 2020

When it comes to professional and educational presentations, it is important to add a professional touch. To get an idea of what you might like in a wireless presentation pointer take a look at the products given. Here you can compare presentation clickers and find out the best one for you.

Logitech R800 ( Editor’s Choice)

Logitech produces high-quality computer hardware. The Logitech R800 wireless laser pointer holds the same standards of high quality as Logitech’s other products.

The most important aspect of presentation clicker is the wireless part. How far the presenter can transmit its signals is a very important thing. Logitech R800 allows you a 100-foot wireless range which is a huge range to give a presentation.

You will get solid battery life from just 2 AAA batteries. The R800 has a nifty LCD display that indicates the strength of the wireless signal. If you do somehow manage to tread outside of 100-feet range signal indicator will warn you, possibly preventing hiccup in the presentation.

  • 100-feet wireless range.
  • Up to 20 hours in laser pointer mode.
  • 1,050 hours in presentation mode.
  • Tracking of battery life in LCD display.
  • It allows a timer and silent vibrating alerts to let you know if you are running over.
  • Works on any Windows 7 or later windows PC.
  • The design of this remote is not as sleek as the Logitech’s other presenters.
  • There is a definite lack of simplicity when compared to other wireless presenters.

Logitech R400 (Best Mid-Range)

For a good and attractive presentation, look to the Logitech R400 for the best-in-class experience. With a set of user-friendly touch keys to easily control the flow of a PowerPoint slideshow.

It is used for short-range presentations because of its short range of 50-feet. This range is short as compared to the other wireless presentation remotes.

  • 50-feet range.
  • Connect to any wireless network without installing any software.
  • More than 20 hours of battery running.
  • Compatible with any windows system after Vista, including Windows 10.
  • Interfaces easily with most computers.
  • Affordable prices.
  • 4GHz RF wireless technology.
  • It only has one-way power, battery. It cannot be charged.
  • It cannot play or pause a video, it just moves the slides.

Microsoft Presenter Mouse 8000

          Microsoft’s presentation clicker mouse 8000 is one of the best thanks to the ingenuity of its combination laser mouse and wireless presenter design. Microsoft took two important parts of computer hardware and together with them in a compact, efficient PC peripheral.

This type of pairing of two devices allows a user to experience the best a mouse and a wireless presenter pointer can offer in what we feel a truly versatile tool.

The presenter 8000 has a comparatively short wireless range of 30-feet. 30-feet is the shortest wireless range. For most people, 30-feet is more than enough. In most presentation venues the computer will most likely not be more than 30-feet away. So it meets the need of a teacher, professor or a business professional.

The presenter mouse 8000 features a built-in laser light that is activated by pressing the button in the middle of the presenter.

  • 30-feet range.
  • Uses AAA batteries.
  • Low battery indicator.
  • Has Bluetooth technology

Kensington K72336US

The Kensington delivers the characteristics of elegance and simplicity in a well-designed smartly constructed package.

This presenter has many features that make it stand out from the competition, but a few flaws and high price keep it out of top spots.

The Kensington has a nifty design feature that helps in preserving battery life. When the USB receiver is placed in its bay, the presenter turns the unit off completely. That was a great idea, but there is a little bit of flaw in this idea. In order to get the USB receiver out of its bay, you need to push it in a little and it will pop out. As the receiver could easily get pushed in if the best presenter remote is in your backpack.

That would turn the presenter on and unlock all the buttons. For those who want a presenter with the ability to handle complicated presentation loaded with video and links, the Kensington K72336US will fall short of expectations. This presenter is built around one idea which is simplicity.

  • 30-feet range
  • Wireless presenter is larger than most other presenters
  • Two-year limited warranty
  • The support is very good from the company
  • Low battery indicator
  • In order to get the USB receiver out of its bay, you need to push it in a little and it will pop out. As the receiver could easily get pushed in if the presenter is in your backpack.

Satechi Bluetooth Smart Pointer (Best Presentation Clicker for Mac)

As you might have guessed from the name, the Satechi Bluetooth does not require you to remember any USB receiver.

It is smart and best choice for Mac users, as it can activate Siri, and has a full hidden compartment of the 0-9 number pad.

Chirs Funk, The Wonderist once said

“ My whole show rides on my presentation triggering properly, and the satechi remote has been the only one I have used that works every time ”

  • Has a mute button.
  • Volume control
  • Best for Mac books.
  • Can control media playback.
  • Wireless range is too short.

Targus AMP13US

The Targus AMP13US is a wireless presenter that is both simple in design and rich in features. It is a multi-purpose wireless presenter. It is simple so while maintaining a simplicity that leaves a little room for errors.

For the most part, this wireless presenter pointer succeeds in achieving that goal. It gives the range of 50-feet. Some wireless presenters confine you to a rather limited range, but this wireless presenter is different in this case. Instead of limiting you, it frees you.

  • Provides backup battery.
  • Multi-purpose wireless presenter.
  • It is simple so while maintaining a simplicity that leaves a little room for errors.
  • It has a built-in laser pointer but this laser pointer is not very bright when we compared it with other wireless presenters.

  • USB receiver stores on the device.
  • Fits easily into any pocket.
  • Bumps on buttons for eyes-free use.
  • Compatible with Windows and Mac books.

SMK-Link Presentation Pilot Pro

SMK-Link has created an admirable addition to the world of wireless presenters. The pilot pro is popular for its reliability, usability and functionality. In presentations, it is very important to know the wireless range of your presenter.

While using Pilot pro you almost do not need to think about the wireless range, as the presenter is effective within a 50-foot radius of the receiver. This means that you can freely walk around the room during the delivery of your presentation. Another feature of this wireless presenter is the low battery indicator.

Like other wireless presenter Pilot pro also a plug and play device. The USB receiver is housed within the presenter. It slides into a little bay at the bottom of the presenter. Once the receiver is in its bay all buttons on the presenter are locked down. This can help in saving battery life. Pilot pro uses a coin or button battery.

The laser light is one of the main and important features of the wireless presenter. The canon PR10-G has a bright green laser that is 8x times more powerful than the standard red laser light found in most of the wireless presenters.

There is no need for any software installation setup in both windows and Mac books, you can jump right into the presentation mode.

  • Best Compatible with windows and Mac books.
  • Green laser light with 8x times more visible than other wireless presenters.
  • Navigate your presentation easily.
  • LCD display.
  • Time alert for presentation.
  • The laser is 8 times bright, so if you use the laser pointer often, you may need to replace the battery more frequently.

Satechi SP600 Smart Pointer (Best Programmable)

The SP600’s universal support allows direct connectivity to both Mac and Windows system, including support for Windows XP all the way up through Windows 10.

This gives you the wireless range of 50-feet that is more than enough to move around a large room while giving your presentation.

  • Uses Two AAA batteries.
  • Downloadable smart keyMap software.
  • No need to aim the receiver.
  • No media control.

Amerteer Finger Ring Wireless Presenter (Best Ergonomic )

Like its name The Amerteer wireless presenter is just like a ring. The finger ring is slip-resistant, helping to avoid any embarrassing accident while presenting a presentation. Its adjustable design can be resized to fit a multitude of finger size.

It becomes a difficult task to control the presentation with access to five buttons, including the previous and next slide, black screen and launching and ending a slideshow presentation.

  • 36-feet range.
  • Built-in Li-polymer battery.
  • It becomes a difficult task to control the presentation with access to five buttons

LNKOO Laser Pen Presentation Clicker

It would simply look silly to carry a large object to whose only job is to control the slideshow of your presentation So, Wireless Presenters need to be compact. The LNKOO Ultrathin is one of the smallest wireless presenters we came across in our research.

It gives you freedom of movement within the 30-feet radius of its USB receiver. For many purposes, this range is enough to do everything you need to do. LNKOO squeezes a red laser pointer into presentation’s compact design. The laser pointer adds a new level of versatility to the Ultrathin, allowing you to highlight key facts and important figures during your presentation without resorting to a keyboard. This is best among the other presentation clickers.

  • Most thin presentation clickers.
  • Uses button battery.
  • It can be difficult to press the correct button due to its small design.
  • It does not help that the buttons are not spaced out over the surface area of the presenter, but rather are bunched together.
  • The chances of pressing a wrong button are much higher.

Best Presentation Clickers – Buyer’s Guide

A lot of people question the legibility of wireless presenters and have gone to the point of bashing them by stating wireless presenters don’t offer any real benefits.

Sure, the wireless pointers are not as good as their price, but to say wireless presenters aren’t any good is certainly wrong.

Presentation clickers are the basic need, if you want to engage your audience and want them to stay focused on the presentation.

To be fair, presentation clickers are very important for professional presentations than in the old days. We are going to take a look at some advantages of buying wireless presenters.

Those benefits will help you in understanding that Bluetooth laser pointers aren’t terrible. These presenters are for the people, who want to give the professional presentation in their professional life.

Read these carefully for best presenter clicker.

Increase Portability

The presentation clickers are portable. You can take them from one place to the other without any tension of wires. Wires can be jumbled which annoys most people. The main purpose of wireless presenters is to provide portability. You just need the USB receiver for the connection. These just plug and play devices.

Things you should look for in Presentation Clickers

Now that you have taken a look at all the major benefits of buying wireless presenters. We can look at some things you should look for in buying a wireless presentation pointer.

When buying a wireless presenter, the most important thing that you should look for is the presenter fit in your hand and you should hold in comfortably.

Some presentation remotes are too loud, especially for the presentation clickers who adopt the perspective that the more slides you have, the better your presentation will be. If the presenter has a loud voice each click of the button will irk your front row participants.          

Battery life

You should also consider the battery life when buying a wireless presentation pointer. The whole battery is dependent on the technology of the battery used by the pointer and the person who uses it.

Make sure you’re aware of these things when you go and buy yourself a wireless presenter.

Wireless Range and laser-quality

You must consider the wireless range and brightness of laser light when you are buying a wireless presenter. Wireless range is the most important thing in wireless presenter so, first, check the range offers by the presenter you are going to buy. The main purpose of a wireless presenter is to point out the major facts of a presentation so, it’s very important that the laser is must be bright. This is most important for presentation clickers.

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

By: Author Shrot Katewa

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

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!

best powerpoint presentation clicker

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]

best powerpoint presentation clicker

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.

best powerpoint presentation clicker

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.

best powerpoint presentation clicker

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]

best powerpoint presentation clicker

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!

What is a Presentation Remote

Presentation remotes are truly helpful gadgets for people who need to make presentations or reports quite often. This compact digital device allows you to switch the slides when you wish and, therefore, to control the time for each slide. Most wireless presentation remotes have a built-in laser pointer that helps you draw the attention of the audience to a certain important aspect. If you want to make a really successful presentation, no matter if it's at school, college, or at work, a USB presentation remote is a must-have device.

If you wish to use a versatile remote for controlling several digital devices at a time, read our review of the best TV remotes and get one of them.

What Features to Compare

The first thing you should pay attention to when making a choice of a wireless presentation remote is the design. Consider the shape and the size of the pointer as well as the material it's made of. You should use the device that you will be able to hold comfortably. If the material is slippery, you might even drop the device. Also, if the remote is too big for your palm, using it won't be convenient. Also, the best gadgets have a special storage place for a USB receiver. This way, you will never lose this tiny yet indispensable peripheral. If the model you choose has no receiver storage, make sure to check if it has a special case or a bag. The best wireless presentation remotes have light indicators, informing you about such important issues as the battery charge level and the signal strength. There's another highly important aspect we are going to draw your attention to - very often we prepare files for presentations and forget to copy them to a flash drive. Has this ever happened to you? Quite likely it has! And that's why the best presentation remotes have a receiver with a slot for microSD cards. Thanks to this important feature, you can copy all your presentation files to a memory card. That's particularly handy for busy people like teachers and professors.

Next, you need to know what each wireless presentation remote can actually do. It's self-evident that slide switch is not the only option these devices can cope with. There are many other handy capabilities that will make your presentations really interesting and efficient. Many presentation remotes support a Mouse mode which allows you to control the cursor on the screen of your computer. This way you can pick the files you need, open them, as well as launch apps/videos or even click on hyperlinks. Very often the audience can't get major points of a presentation and that's why a laser pointer comes in handy too. How does it work? You just need to push the button and a laser pointer will appear on the screen, so you will be able to highlight the most important features. Many people think that the laser pointer glows red only, but this is wrong. Today, some wireless presentation remotes glow green - a green laser is brighter. Moreover, some devices feature violet or blue laser pointers but they aren't widespread yet. Finally, when you are done with the slides, you may need to switch the audience's attention from a large glowing screen to yourself. How to do it without losing time? The answer is simple - turn off the screen completely. That's why most presentation remotes have a Black Screen button that allows you to do it in the blink.

We've come to the final features that are worth you consideration. Since nearly all presentation remotes are wireless, you should know their operational range. If the computer is too far, the signal from the remote to the receiver won't be strong enough. No need to say, the range is important if you are going to make presentations in large premises. If it's just a small conference room in your office, the range won't be important. Also, don't forget to check which operating system a USB presentation remote is compatible with. Most of them are compatible with Windows (usually, all versions are supported, though Windows 10 might be a trouble for certain dongles), but if you make lots of presentations and, thus, need to use different kinds of computers, choose the remote compatible with Mac OS as well. Some devices can also work with Linux and Android-operated computers. In the end, check what power source every device uses. As usual, it's either a built-in battery or 1-2 AAA batteries. The batteries can be replaced quickly but if a remote has a built-in battery, it should be charged in advance.

Microsoft Presenter+ review: Become a Teams and PowerPoint presenting pro with THIS

A necessity for presenters who live in teams and powerpoint.

Microsoft Presenter+

Windows Central Verdict

The Microsoft Presenter+ is an excellent peripheral for public speakers or team members who find themselves on stage (in person or virtually) in front of a PowerPoint presentation on a regular basis. With deep integration with Teams, it's a no brainer for managers and other roles that require presenting.

Sleek and discreet

Good battery life

Cool virtual laser feature

Limited amount of buttons

Can't click on things with the laser

Mute button only works in Teams

Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .

  • Should you buy

These days, Microsoft is all about enhancing your workflow with handy productivity-focused software and accessories, and its new Presenter+ remote embodies that philosophy very much so. I love gadgets are that designed for specific use cases, and while it’s certainly not the first of its kind, the Presenter+ is elegant, sleek, and easy to set up and use.

I've been using the Presenter+ for a little over two weeks to conduct presentations and enhance Teams meetings. Here's my review!

Microsoft Presenter+: Price & Availability

Microsoft Presenter+

The Microsoft Presenter+ is available directly from the Microsoft Store or Amazon and has a retail price of $80. Here are the specs of the product:

Header Cell - Column 0 Microsoft Presenter+
Dimensions3.7 x 1.16 x .37 in (93.86 x 29.5 x 9.4 mm)

Battery195mAh (6 days)

In the boxMicrosoft Presenter+Charging Dock

Microsoft Presenter+: Design

Microsoft Presenter+

The Presenter+ features a clean, elegant design that looks good on your desk and discreet in your hand. It's small, lightweight, and feels great to hold thanks to its premium smooth plastic enclosure. The buttons are tactile and easy to press and have a satisfying click to them. 

The buttons themselves consist of a large circular mute button at the top, followed by two smaller left and right navigation buttons below it, a pill-shaped "presenting laser" button below those, and a large circular Teams button at the bottom. On the back are a power toggle and Bluetooth pair button.

The back of the remote is covered in a slightly grippy texture, which makes it slightly easier to hold and reduces its ability to slide around on your desk when not in the charging dock. There's also a small Microsoft logo on the back, just below an indented area to rest your finger in as you hold the device.

On the bottom is a USB-C port flanked by two silver prongs, used for charging with the included charging dock. The charging dock itself is a nice inclusion, connected to a USB-A cable that plugs into your computer to supply power. The USB-C port on the remote can also be used for charging. 

Microsoft Presenter+: Features

Microsoft Presenter+

The Presenter+ includes several different features and modes, all designed to enhance your experience when presenting PowerPoint presentations or partaking in Teams meetings. We'll start with the presentation features, which unsurprisingly are a highlight for this remote.

This remote includes a built-in virtual laser function, which can be used to point at and highlight areas of a screen being used to present content. The virtual laser can be used anywhere, in any app by simply holding the laser button and pointing at your screen. 

It uses a built-in gyroscope to track the location of the remote, and relatively accurately display the laser where you'd expect it to be. It works very similarly to how LG's Magic Remote works on its TVs, with the ability to point the remote at the screen and use it as a mouse.

The laser button, when paired with the navigation buttons above it, makes for an all-in-one solution for presenting PowerPoint slides on a stage, or even virtually in Microsoft Teams. The only frustrating thing about the laser pointer is that you can't actually click on things with it. Within Windows, you can use it to highlight things, but if you want to click OK on a prompt, you can't. 

Microsoft Presenter+

The remote can also be used as a microphone toggle with the dedicated mute button along the top. This is great for scenarios where you might find yourself walking around a small office while in a meeting, with other colleagues interrupting you in person every so often. 

Now, there's no microphone built-in to the remote, so you can't use it as an on-the-go toggle mic, but the mute button will act as a toggle for whatever mic is built-in to the device you have it connected to. 

Lastly, the Presenter+ features a vibration motor for tactile signals, which buzz when a Teams meeting starts, you mute or unmute your mic, when the battery is low, and even when you raise and lower your hand. Yes, the remote also functions as a way of raising your hand virtually in Teams meetings. Pretty cool. 

Microsoft Presenter+: Customization

Many of the functions and features of the Presenter+ remote can be configured, which means you can dial in how you want to use the remote to your personal taste. For example, you can choose to use the microphone button as a toggle, switching between muted and unmuted states with a click, or use it as a push-to-talk button, only unmuting the mic when the button is held down.

The laser feature can also be customized, including the ability to change the size and color of the laser pointer itself. You can also configure the sensitivity of the gyro, which is great if you find the remote isn't doing a good job of tracking the laser pointer on the screen out of the box.

You can even customize the strength of the tactility motor, increasing or decreasing its strength to suit your preference. You can also turn on and off which features present tactile signals, so if you didn't want it to vibrate when you mute or unmute your mic, you can turn that off. 

All of these features can be customized using Microsoft's well-put-together Accessory Center app, which is automatically installed when you pair the remote to a Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC for the first time. The app also includes the ability to "find my remote" by buzzing the vibration motor inside it if you ever lose it. 

Microsoft Presenter+: Competition

Logitech R400 Clicker

There are countless clicker devices out there on the market that allow you to control a PowerPoint presentation, and some of them even have actual laser point pointers built in. Peripherals such as the Logitech Presenter R400 , which uses its own wireless receiver for functionality, can be had for just $32. But it doesn't come with any customization software or integration with Microsoft Teams.

There's also the DinoFire Wireless Presenter , which just like the Logitech, uses its own RF receiver for functionality, and a built-in level 2 laser. But again, no Microsoft Teams integration. And that's going to be the big differentiator between other clickers and the Microsoft Presenter+.

The Microsoft Presenter+ offers a virtual laser, in-depth Microsoft Teams integration, a wide array of customizable settings, and even a haptic motor. You're not going to find those things on other clickers on the market.

Microsoft Presenter+ Should you buy

Microsoft Presenter+

The Microsoft Presenter+ is an excellent peripheral, but only if you find yourself presenting PowerPoint presentations on a regular basis. For everyone else, I don't think it's a necessary investment, as it's pretty easy to navigate a PowerPoint slide without a dedicated accessory.

With that said, the Presenter+ is really only for the people who want or need to look professional on a stage or virtually. They won't want to be seen walking back to a laptop on the corner of the stage to advance to the next slide. They want to stay in their flow and present the next slide as they talk to their audience. 

If that's you, then you simply can't go wrong with the Presenter+. The other integrations with Teams are a nice addition, such as raising the remote to raise your hand in the meeting and using the mic button as a toggle. 

Microsoft Presenter+

The Microsoft Presenter+ is an excellent peripheral for public speakers or team members who find themselves on stage (in person or virtually) in front of a PowerPoint presentation on a regular basis.

I created an entire PowerPoint presentation using Copilot and Designer, here’s how it went

Thanks to a rich template library, themes, animations, and eye-catching layouts, we are long past the days of creating a PowerPoint presentation from scratch. As someone who frequently needs to create visually appealing pitches, I’m always on the lookout for tools that can speed up the entire process and streamline my workflow. Here is where I came across Copilot and Designer – Microsoft’s AI-powered tools integrated directly into PowerPoint.

I decided to put Microsoft’s tools to the ultimate test by creating an entire presentation from start to finish using only Copilot and Designer. In this post, I will share my honest assessment of how Copilot and Designer impacted my presentation creation process.

Copilot (24)

Copilot, Copilot Pro, and Copilot+ — breaking down Microsoft's confusing AI products

Confused by Microsoft's Copilot products? We're here to help.

Accessing Copilot and Designer in PowerPoint: Requirements

create-PowerPoint-presentation-using-Copilot-and-Designer 6-1

Before we start, let’s go over the prerequisites first. Copilot and Designer are available on PowerPoint web and desktop apps on Windows and Mac. They are not accessible on PowerPoint mobile and tablet apps.

Designer (previously known as Design Ideas) is a part of your standard Microsoft 365 subscription. It suggests several designs based on your text and images. It is available under the Home and Design tabs in PowerPoint.

As for unlocking Copilot in PowerPoint, you must purchase a separate Copilot Pro subscription from Microsoft. It comes with a free month's trial, and after that, the pricing starts at $20 per month. Your active subscription unlocks Copilot in other Microsoft 365 apps, including OneNote, Outlook, Word, Excel, and even OneDrive. Once you sign up for a Copilot Pro subscription, the chatbot should appear under the Home tab, as shown in the screenshot above.

4 reasons you should get a perpetual Office 2024 license instead of Microsoft 365

Subscriptions aren't for everybody

Leveraging AI in PowerPoint

Now that we have moved past the basics, let’s check out both tools in action. In the example below, my goal was to create a presentation on general financial literacy that covers the basics of finance like budgeting, saving, investing, managing debt, financial goals, planning, the power of compound interest, its impact on long-term wealth building, and the importance of emergency funds.

Let’s start our journey with Copilot first.

Generate slides using a text prompt

While PowerPoint comes with dozens of templates, I started with a blank presentation.

  • Open PowerPoint on the desktop and create a blank presentation.

create a presentation using Copilot

  • It opens a dedicated Copilot dialog box where you need to enter the text prompt. Here is where it gets tricky. You need to be astute and quite descriptive with your prompts to get the desired results. For this presentation, I entered the text below.

Understanding personal finance basics with financial goals and planning, the power of compound interest, and the importance of emergency funds

Copilot talking points for presentation

Copilot quickly generates talking points for your presentation. You can delete a specific section, rearrange it using the six-dot menu, and give your overall feedback.​​​​​​

check copilot talking points

And that’s it. In the example above, Copilot generated 15 slides with an introduction and conclusion. The AI chatbot also adds relevant images and animations throughout the slides to make your presentation more engaging. Check out the little star icon beside each slide that represents active animation.

Copilot also adds required speaker notes below each slide to help you during live presentations. Neat, isn’t it?

Insert Copilot slides in presentation

Your slides are still AI-generated, and accuracy may take a hit with specific complex subjects. I would always recommend checking the content once before you distribute it.

Change slide designs with Designer

Now, it’s time to see the Designer in action. While Copilot did a good job with generating slides, I’m not really fond of the introduction slide. Let’s use Designer to change its entire look with a single click.

  • Open the PowerPoint presentation and click the slide you want to change with Designer.

Open designer in Presentation

  • Check the relevant suggestions from the sidebar that uses your existing content and images.

Designer ideas in PowerPoint

I picked a better slide with a cool-looking background. You can use Designer to change all the required slides and elevate your presentation in no time.

Create and insert images using Copilot

Now, I would like to add a neat image into one of the slides called ‘The Power of Compound Interest.’ Instead of browsing the web as I would have done in the past, I quickly summoned Copilot and asked it to generate an image based on a text prompt. Here’s how.

  • Open a relevant slide and select Copilot in the top-right corner.

Generate an image using Copilot

Generate an image of A piggy bank overflowing with coins and bills, showcasing the importance of growing money with compound interest.

Copilot uses Microsoft Designer to generate four options. Select the one you like and click Insert .

Insert an image in PowerPoint

Check out the final slide below. It’s just one example of an image generated by Copilot. The possibilities are endless here.

How to get the most out of Windows Copilot

Microsoft's new AI assistant is incredibly versatile and powerful. Here's how you can leverage its capabilities.

PowerPoint just got a whole lot smarter

My presentation creation journey with Copilot and Designer was nothing short of eye-opening. Although there is a learning curve with text prompts and some occasional frustration, I was ultimately impressed with the potential of these tools to save significant time and effort.

Copilot and Designer aren’t without their limitations, though. There were instances where the AI’s suggestions missed the mark, requiring manual fine-tuning. Overall, I’m excited to see how Copilot and Designer will evolve and empower users to create more engaging presentations. Aside from PowerPoint, your Copilot Pro subscription unlocks the AI assistant in other Microsoft 365 apps as well. Check our dedicated post to read about my experiment with Copilot in Microsoft’s note-taking app – OneNote .
