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

I use my Gen 5 iPad to do presentations. It has a Lightning port, so USB adapters may or may not work. I tried several ‘wireless’ controllers with separate USB receivers, but none worked. This controller has built-in Bluetooth so you don’t need a seperate plug-in receiver. It paired easily with my iPad and functions perfectly. It is very robust with substantial weight. For that reason it feels good in the hand and is easy to keep track of the buttons. The next test will be to see how long it lasts. This is the second SATECHI brand controller that I have used. It replaces a different model that no longer takes a charge. I would have preferred that this one used replaceable batteries.

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

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

This was really good with my iPad and using PowerPoint. I can move anywhere in the room and change the slide that shows up on the projector.

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

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

Be prepared to charged it after every use. That's a huge downside. Unless you remember every single time, when you go to present you will find yourself with a dead clicker.

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

Per iMac e MacBook Apple è il massimo. Sia in termini di qualità, estetica e funzionalità. Praticamente è un prodotto APPLE

Muito bom. Um dos poucos que realmente funcionam com o IPADOS e o IOS

Pilot samoczynnie przerzuca slajdy. Bardzo duże opóźnienie w przełączeniu slajdu i nagle sam przerzuca o kilkadziesiąt slajdów. Duże problemy z połączeniem z MacBook Pro M1. Dramat. Produkt został zwrócony. Przyznaje jednak, ze wyglada bardzo dobrze, jest starannie wykonany i wygodny.

Funktioniert tadellos.

Good quality, however returned it because wasn’t compatible with the teleprompter app
