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

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

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

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

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

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

⚠️Spoiler Alert⚠️

My top pick is the Logitech R800 .

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

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

A quick note of how we test each clicker

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

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

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

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

PowerPoint Clickers Reviewed

1: Logitech R800 (Best Overall)

2: Kensington Wireless Presenter K33272WW (Best Basic)

3: Kensington K72426AMA (Best Cursor Control)

4: Logitech R500 (Easiest to Use)

5: Amerteer Wireless Presenter (Best on Budget)

6: Amerteer Finger Ring Presenter (Best Ring Presenter)

7: NINJAABXY Wireless Clicker (Best Ergonomic Design)

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

1. Logitech R800 (Best Overall)

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

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

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

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

Specifications in the version we reviewed

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

Score on review parameters

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

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

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

2. Kensington Wireless Presenter K33272WW (Best Basic)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Kensington K72426AMA (Best Cursor Control)

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

Why? The list of reasons is a little long✌

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

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

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

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

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

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

4. Logitech R500 (Easiest to Use)

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

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

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

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

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

5. Amerteer Wireless Presenter (Best on Budget)

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

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

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

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

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

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

6. Amerteer Finger Ring Presenter (Best Ring Presenter)

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

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

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

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

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

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

7. NINJAABXY Wireless Clicker (Best Ergonomic)

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

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

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

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

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

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

By: Author Shrot Katewa

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

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

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

So, let’s get started!

How Does a Presentation Clicker Work?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Top 5 Best Presentation Clickers

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

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

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

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

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

1. Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote [Most Complete]

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

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

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

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

2. Beboncool RF Wireless Presenter [Most Budget Friendly]

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

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

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

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

3. DinoFire Presentation Clicker [Most Ergonomic]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Use a Presentation Clicker?

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

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

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

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

What Else is a Presentation Clicker Called?

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

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

Wireless Presentation Clickers

Wireless presentation clickers are indispensable tools for presenters seeking to deliver seamless and engaging presentations. With the freedom of movement they provide, presenters can move around the room, interact with their audience, and maintain a strong connection with their content.

Bluetooth Clickers

Bluetooth clickers offer a convenient and reliable solution for controlling presentations without the need for wires. By connecting seamlessly with your device via Bluetooth, these clickers allow you to navigate through your slides, pause and play videos, and even control the mouse cursor, all from a distance. With their wide range of compatibility, Bluetooth clickers can be used with different devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, making them incredibly versatile.

These innovative clickers offer a range of impressive features, such as:

• Ease of use, with simple pairing and setup processes
• Compact and lightweight design, ensuring portability
• Intuitive buttons for effortless navigation
• Long battery life, allowing for extended presentation sessions
• Strong wireless connectivity for uninterrupted control

Rf Clickers

RF clickers, short for Radio Frequency clickers, provide an alternative wireless solution for presenters. Unlike Bluetooth clickers that rely on Bluetooth technology, RF clickers work through radio frequency signals. This technology offers excellent range and reliability, making RF clickers suitable for large auditoriums and conference rooms.

RF clickers come with their own USB receiver that needs to be connected to the presenting device. Once paired, the clicker communicates with the receiver using radio waves, allowing for seamless control over your presentation. These clickers offer similar features to Bluetooth clickers, including:

• Simple setup and pairing process
• Ergonomic and user-friendly designs
• Durable construction for long-lasting use
• Responsive buttons for easy slide navigation
• Extended battery life for uninterrupted presenting

Whether you opt for a Bluetooth clicker or an RF clicker, both wireless presentation clickers provide unmatched flexibility and convenience. Their ability to free you from the constraints of cords and cables ensures that your presentations are smooth, engaging, and impactful.

Features To Consider

Choosing the right presentation clicker is crucial to ensure a smooth and seamless presentation experience. To make an informed decision, it is important to consider various features that can enhance your presentation. Here are the key features you should focus on:

The range of a presentation clicker refers to the distance at which it can accurately transmit signals to control your slides. A larger range gives you the freedom to move around the stage or the room without losing control. Look for a clicker with a long range, such as 100 feet or more, to eliminate any potential limitations.

Compatibility

Compatibility is another vital aspect to consider when selecting a presentation clicker. Ensure that the clicker you choose is compatible with the software you use for your presentations. Most clickers are designed to work seamlessly with popular presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, or Google Slides. Additionally, check whether the clicker supports both Windows and Mac operating systems to prevent any compatibility issues.

Battery Life

Battery life is a crucial factor that can impact the longevity of your presentation. You don’t want your clicker to run out of power in the middle of an important presentation. Look for a clicker with a long battery life, preferably one that can last for several presentations without needing a recharge or battery replacement. Additionally, consider whether the clicker uses standard or rechargeable batteries, depending on your preference.

If you want to take your presentations to the next level, having a reliable presentation clicker is essential. A good clicker gives you the freedom to confidently move around the room while staying in control of your slides. To help you find the perfect companion for your next presentation, we have compiled a list of our top picks. These clickers offer exceptional functionality, reliability, and ease of use. Let’s take a closer look at our top two choices: the Logitech R500 and the Satechi Aluminum Wireless Presenter.

The clicker is compatible with most presentation software and is incredibly easy to set up. For those who appreciate both style and functionality, the Satechi Aluminum Wireless Presenter is one of the top picks in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions On The Best Presentation Clickers

Look for models with strong connectivity, extended range up to 100 feet, and intuitive controls. These clickers ensure seamless presentation delivery and give you the freedom to move around the room effortlessly.

How Do I Choose A Presentation Clicker?

To choose a presentation clicker, consider its compatibility with your device, range, ease of use, and additional features like laser pointer or timer. Check customer reviews, compare prices, and select a reliable brand. Make sure it’s comfortable to hold and suits your presentation style.

But there are a few models out there are providing much more features, including the ability to go back to a previous slide, a timer to keep you on track, a start and stop multimedia function, a laser pointer that comes in handy when drawing attention to specific parts of your presentation, and so much more.

This plug-and-play remote features intuitively placed touch keys and comes with a cushioned carry case for extra protection and easy portability.

The Spotlight will also let you know when it is time to wrap up your presentation with gentle vibrations.

What to Look for When Buying Wireless Presenters

There is no doubt that the best wireless presenters can help you spice up your presentation by improving your delivery and time management. There are however a few things that you need to keep in mind when looking for a wireless presenter remote, including:

• Power: Most wireless presenters will either be rechargeable or use a battery. You need a clicker that makes good use of the battery power by automatically sleeping when not in use. Those that have LCD displays should make it easy to easily tell the battery levels even in the midst of a presentation.
• Pointer: Think of how you are going to use your clicker. If you are mostly giving presentations in a classroom a red laser pointer might be adequate to point at whiteboards, but if you regularly host business meetings and share presentations on screen you need strong green pointer.
• Range: What are your movement needs? If you typically give presentations in larger spaces and you like to move around, you need to go for clickers that have a good wireless control range.
• Compatibility: Do not assume that all clickers are compatible with all operating systems. Make sure your preferred wireless remote presenter can work on your device. Check if it is a plug-and-play device, or if you will need to download software to use it.
• Design: You need to keep this in mind when choosing your wireless presenter. How are the keys arranged? Are they easy to use? Does it have an ergonomic design that’s comfortable to hold?

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

Disclosure: When you buy something through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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:

Microsoft Presenter+: Design

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

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. 

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

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

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. 

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.

Steps To Create a Presentation

Skills that help make an effective presentation, how to make your skills stand out.

xavierarnau / Getty Images

Whether you’re a high-level executive or an administrative assistant, developing your presentation skills is one key way to climb in an office-based job. Leaders make decisions based on information shared in presentation format, and hardly any business changes its mind without first seeing a persuasive presentation.

It is important for any office employee to know what steps go into creating an effective presentation and what presentation skills are most important to employers. Highlighting these skills will also help you stand out during your job search.

Key Takeaways

• Presentation skills are what you need to know to be able to give an engaging, effective presentation.
• The steps to creating a successful presentation are preparation, delivery, and follow-up.
• Employers want to know you have the necessary skills to research, analyze, and create a presentation, plus the communication skills needed to deliver it and field questions afterward.
• You can highlight your skills to employers through your resume, cover letter, and interview.

What Are Presentation Skills? 

Presentation skills refer to all the qualities you need to create and deliver a clear and effective presentation. While what you say during a presentation matters, employers also value the ability to create supporting materials, such as slides.

Your prospective employer may want you to deliver briefings and reports to colleagues, conduct training sessions, present information to clients, or perform any number of other tasks that involve speaking before an audience.

Giving engaging and easy-to-understand talks is a major component of the strong  oral communication skills  that are a  job requirement  for many positions. Not all presentations take place in a formal meeting. Many presentation skills are relevant to one-on-one consults or sales calls.

Any presentation has three phases: preparation, delivery, and follow-up. All presentation skills fit into one of these three phases.

Preparation 

Preparation involves research and building the presentation. Consider the audience you'll be presenting to and what most interests them. This may mean crafting the entire text (or at least writing notes) and creating any slides and other supporting audio/visual materials.

You will also have to make sure that the appropriate venue is available, properly set up beforehand, and ensure the projector (if you'll need one) works and connects with your laptop.

You'll also want to practice your presentation as many times as you need to to feel comfortable delivering it with ease and confidence within the time allotted for the presentation.

Skills related to preparation include conducting research related to your presentation topic, devising charts and graphs depicting your research findings, and learning about your audience to better tailor your presentation to their needs. You'll also need to create digital slides, using statistics, examples, and stories to illustrate your points and effectively to persuade the audience.

Preparing handouts or digital references is an added courtesy that will help the audience pay attention because they won't be preoccupied with note-taking.

Your delivery is the part of the presentation that the audience sees. A good delivery depends on careful preparation and confident presentation and requires its own distinctive  skill set . 

Skills related to delivery include giving an attention-grabbing opening for a talk, providing a summary of what will be covered to introduce the presentation and provide context, and using  body language  and eye contact to convey energy and confidence.

Make sure you pause to emphasize key points, modulate your vocal tone for emphasis, and articulate your speech clearly and smoothly.

Don't be afraid of injecting humor or speaking with enthusiasm and animation—these techniques can help you in projecting confidence to your audience.

Summarize key points at the conclusion of the presentation, and be sure to have a plan for how you'll field any audience questions.

Presentation follow-up includes properly breaking down and storing any equipment, contacting any audience members with whom you agreed to communicate further, and soliciting, collecting, and analyzing feedback.

In some presentations, you may collect information from audience members—such as names and contact information or completed surveys—that you also must organize and store.

Skills related to follow-up include creating an evaluation form to solicit feedback from attendees, interpreting feedback from evaluations, and modifying the content and/or delivery for future presentations. Other follow-up skills include organizing a database of attendees for future presentations, interviewing key attendees to gain additional feedback, and emailing presentation slides to attendees.

To create and deliver the most effective presentation takes a variety of skills, which you can always work to improve.

You must be able to look honestly at your performance, assess the feedback you get, and figure out what you need to do to get better. That takes  analytical thinking .

More importantly, you need to have a firm grasp of the information you are about to communicate to others. You need to analyze your audience and be prepared to think quickly if asked questions that force you to demonstrate that you are fully aware of the material and its implications.

The kind of analytical skills you need to be an effective presenter include problem sensitivity, problem-solving , reporting and surveying, optimization, and predictive modeling. It also helps to be adept at strategic planning, integration, process management, and diagnostics. With these skills, you'll be better able to objectively analyze, evaluate, and act on your findings.

Organization

You do not want to be the person who spends half of their presentation time trying to find a cable to connect their laptop to the projector. Many things can and do go wrong just before a presentation unless you are  organized .

Presentation preparation also means keeping track of notes, information, and start/stop times. You will want to proofread and fine-tune all the materials you plan to use for the presentation to catch any mistakes. Make sure you time yourself when you rehearse so you know how long it will take to deliver the presentation.

A presentation that's finished in half the time allotted is as problematic as one that's too long-winded.

Some key organizational skills to work on include event planning, auditing, benchmarking, prioritization, and recordkeeping. Make sure your scheduling is on point and pay close attention to detail. Quick thinking is an important skill to have for when things inevitably go wrong.

Nonverbal Communication

When speaking to an audience, the way you present yourself can be just as important as how you present your information. You want to appear confident and engaging. You can do this through good posture, the use of hand gestures, and making eye contact with the audience.

Practice your  nonverbal communication  by filming yourself doing a practice presentation and observing your body language carefully. Your physical bearing and poise should convey a degree of comfort and confidence in front of an audience, while active listening , respect, and emotional intelligence will help you in facilitating group discussions.

Presentation Software

Microsoft PowerPoint is the dominant software used to create visual aids for presentations. Learn to use it well, including the special features outside of basic templates that can really bring a presentation to life. Even if someone else is preparing your slideshow for you, it will help to know how to use the software in case of last-minute changes.

Other software that is good to learn includes Microsoft Office, Apple Keynote, Google Slides, and Adobe Presenter.

Public Speaking

You need to appear comfortable and engaging when speaking before a live audience, even if you're not. This can take years of practice, and sometimes  public speaking  just isn't for certain people. An uncomfortable presenter is a challenge for everyone. Fortunately, public speaking skills can improve with practice . Some skills to work on include articulation, engagement, and memorization. You should be able to assess the needs of the audience and handle difficult questions. Controlling your performance anxiety will help you communicate more effectively.

Research is the first step in preparing most presentations and could range from a multi-year process to spending 20 minutes online, depending on context and subject matter. At the very least, you must be able to clearly frame research questions, identify appropriate information sources, and organize your results. Other useful skills include brainstorming, collaboration , comparative analysis, data interpretation, and deductive and inductive reasoning. Business intelligence is a skill that will help you evaluate what information you need to support the bottom line, while case analysis and causal relationships will help you parse and evaluate meaning.

Verbal Communication

Public speaking is one form of  verbal communication , but you will need other forms to give a good presentation. Specifically, you must know how to answer questions. You should be able to understand questions asked by your audience (even if they're strange or poorly worded) and provide respectful, honest, and accurate answers without getting off-topic. Use active listening, focus, and empathy to understand your audience. Skills such as assertiveness, affirmation, and enunciation will help you restate and clarify your key points as it relates to their questions or concerns.

You may or may not need a written script, but you do need to pre-plan what you are going to say, in what order you will say it, and at what level of detail. If you can write a cohesive essay, you can plan a presentation.

Typical writing skills apply to your presentation just as they do to other forms of writing, including grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and proofreading. The ability to build outlines, take notes, and mark up documents will also be useful.

More Presentation Skills

In addition to the skills previously mentioned, there are other important skills that can apply to your presentation. The other skills you need will depend on what your presentation is about, your audience, and your intended results. Some of these additional skills include:

• Summarizing
• Providing anecdotes to illustrate a point
• Designing handouts
• Recognizing and countering objections
• Posing probing questions to elicit more detail about specific issues
• Awareness of ethnic, political, and religious diversity
• Receiving criticism without defensiveness
• Refraining from speaking too often or interrupting others
• Anticipating the concerns of others
• Product knowledge
• SWOT analysis format
• Supporting statements with evidence
• Multilingual
• Working with reviewers
• Consistency
• Developing and maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Developing a proposition statement
• Creating and managing expectations

Include skills on your resume. If applicable, you might mention these words in your  resume summary  or  headline .

Highlight skills in your cover letter. Mention one or two specific presentation skills and give examples of instances when you demonstrated these traits in the workplace.

Show your presentation skills in job interviews. During the interview process, you may be asked to give a sample presentation. In this case, you will want to embody these skills during the presentation. For example, you will want to demonstrate your oral communication skills by speaking clearly and concisely throughout the presentation.

presentation clicker is not working in my surface pro 8. how to fix it?

Presentation clicker is not working in my surface pro 8. My keyboard does not work so I put it aside. I am using the surface pro 8 while I am presenting. The presentation clicker was working fine but all of a sudden it is not working (but I am sure when it started not working after the keyboard not working or before the keyboard not working). It makes tik sound when I press the clicker button but the power point slide does not advance. Is there any way that I can use the clicker for my presentation without the keyboard? I went through a lot of troubleshoot, none worked. I read somewhere when keyboard is detached or not working, it directly goes to the tablet mode in windows 11 which I have. Is it true tablet mode does not have the same function as the laptop mode? Please give me an advice, why my clicker is not working.

Hello prabin rai1,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

After I've fully read everything you've posted here, allow me to post a few thoughts in response to your question.

From your description of the problem, it looks as if the Presentation Clicker doesn't work in Surface Pro 8, but I noticed that it started out fine. When the problem occurs, the Typer Cover device that adapts to the Surface Pro 8 doesn't seem to be working properly either. So I might associate the problem with the Typer Cover not working, or perhaps at this point you Surface Pro 8 does have some anomaly.

Therefore, here is some information that I would also like to confirm, if it is convenient for you to add:

Which Presentation Clicker are you using? Can you share the model here?

Does the Presentation Clicker use a Bluetooth-connected Surface Pro 8 or a USB wireless adapter?

Has the Presentation Clicker been tested on another computer? This is to confirm that the Presentation Clicker is faulty.

Have you spoken to the Presentation Clicker support team on this issue to see if it can be used in tablet mode on Windows 11? ( This is only my guess as the device is not a Microsoft product and we don't know much about it.)

Can you explain in detail the case when the keyboard does not work? Because this may mean that the Surface has been abnormal, resulting in the Presentation Clicker is not working properly.

Please allow me to first share with you some information about keyboard recovery options that don't work, please refer to the information in the support link to try to recover your keyboard first:

Troubleshoot Surface Type Cover or Keyboard - Microsoft Support  

The link is not covered in the manual installation of the driver and firmware package steps, so please allow me to share the download address here:

Download Surface Pro 8 Drivers and Firmware from Official Microsoft Download Center

If it's an anomaly at the driver level, manually installing drivers and firmware packages may be able to fix this.

In fact this thread is still open, so if you have any information you'd like to add, you're welcome to keep replying to me and let's figure it all out.

Best Regards,

Mitchell | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

Sorry this didn't help.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for your response. Please refer to the information below for your questions:

I am using the Logitech R400 presentation clicker. I have two sets of these clickers; both do not work with my Surface Pro 8 but function well with other laptops and desktops.

The clicker does not have Bluetooth capability; it uses a USB wireless adapter.

As I mentioned, it works perfectly fine with other devices, so I don't think the clicker is faulty.

I talked to Logitech support, but the technician could not solve the issue after asking many questions. He replied, "I have taken your case to the higher level." I forgot to mention whether the presentation clicker can be used in tablet mode on Windows 11.

The backlight of the keyboard is off, and the keyboard is completely unresponsive. The Surface does not recognize the keyboard at all.

If there is any doubt about the Thunderbolt ports of the Surface Pro 8, my printer and mouse work well when connected to the Surface.

I could have bought a new Bluetooth clicker and keyboard after going through all this trouble, but I am curious to know exactly what happened.

I downloaded the Surface Pro 8 drivers and firmware from the official Microsoft link you sent, but the keyboard issue was not resolved.

Hi prabin rai,

Thank you for your reply and additional information.

It looks like Logitech Support has upgraded your thread to a higher level when you contacted them before, so I'm sure they will probably continue to contact you about this issue, so please be patient, or you can proactively contact them to see if there is additional progress on the issue.

However, in your supplementary reply, I noticed that you mentioned that your keyboard is in a backlight off and completely unresponsive state, so I recommend you to try to confirm whether your keyboard can work normally in UEFI after connecting the keyboard. Specific steps are listed in the link I provided to you before:

Troubleshoot Surface Type Cover or Keyboard - Microsoft Support

If your keyboard is not working properly in UEFI, it may be a hardware failure that needs to be repaired.

Considering that your Presentation Clicker is also not working in the Surface Pro 8 at this point, I think that if a live support can contact you one-on-one at this point and run some tests under their guidance, it may be able to confirm the cause of the anomaly. Therefore, please allow me to provide you with the contact information of Surface real-time support:

1. Use your personal Microsoft account ( not your organization account ) to access the following links:

Contact - Microsoft Support

2. Type Surface , press Enter, and click " Contact Support " at the bottom:

3. Select Technical Support and select the device model you are currently using in Produce family , then click Confrim :

4. You will see contact options for Chat support and Phone support , please contact them during business hours:

You can talk to live support, and I believe that they'll be happy to help you run some tests on the presentation Clicker. And if your keyboard needs repair, they can help you create a repair order.

However, please allow me to kindly remind you that currently we have received feedback from some users that they encountered errors when contacting through Chat support, and we are investigating this situation. Therefore, if you cannot contact the Surface technical support team through Chat support, please try Phone support and leave your contact information according to the guidelines. Surface support will call you back.

I wish you all the best.
