Logitech Spotlight is here to save you from nerve-wracking presentations

Anyone who’s given a presentation, whether at school or work, knows how hard they can be. To captivate your audience, you have to be confident yet calm, informative yet accessible, entertaining yet serious. You get the idea.

While learning to become a successful presenter takes practice, Logitech has announced a new remote, dubbed Spotlight, that should make your next presentation much easier.

“For most, the main stumbling block is a lack of confidence—we just get nervous,” said Marcel Stolk, senior vice president of the Creativity and Productivity business group at Logitech. “Spotlight is easier to use and, most importantly, gives you new ways to engage your audience versus a hard-to-see laser pointer.”

Spotlight is a tall, slender remote (it looks like it was designed for a set-top box) that fits comfortably in the hand, featuring just three buttons that are programmable thanks to software built specifically for the remote. If you’ve ever used a Logitech device—the MX Master is a good one to check out—you know how endlessly customizable its products can be. Spotlight is no different.

Out of the box, Spotlight’s primary focus is allowing users to easily control slides in their presentation. If there’s something you want to emphasize, the remote can highlight and magnify content. It comes in handy when you want to bring attention to specific sales figures, or if you want to highlight a route on an upcoming trip.

Other features include a cursor to play videos, a timer with a vibration alert, and a rechargeable battery, which support USB-C. Spotlight can be connected to a Windows or Mac over Bluetooth or an included dongle, with support for PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, PDF, and Prezi.
