The Logitech R500 lets you control presentations from up to 65' away. The compact remote control is compatible with PowerPoint, Keynote, PDFs, and Google Slides. It operates over an included USB receiver or over a low-energy Bluetooth connection. When using the receiver, the R500 works with Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, and Linux. When connecting over Bluetooth, it's compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

The remote is designed with a soft rubber surface and textured buttons that complement its ergonomic form. It provides three buttons in a simple arrangement, with the topmost button being a red laser button. The other two buttons are customizable for different needs. All the customization is done in the Logitech Presentation Software for Windows and Mac that's included as a free download. The Logitech Presentation Software also allows you to monitor battery life and set on-screen timers.
