Modern Design Updates for Presenters
For those who regulary need to give presentations, often via PowerPoint and other software tools, Logitech brings us the Spotlight 2, a new remote control with some interesting features. It’s been upgraded from its 2017 predecessor with a far more modern and rounded aluminum housing, giving it a sleeker look overall that will better suit professional environments.
Pressure-Sensitive Button and Feedback
The large single button located at the top is actually pressure-sensitive, which is a clever touch. This allows Logitech to digitally highlight content when you push the button more firmly down, for example making a round magnifying glass appear to enlarge something or making that specific part of the screen brighter than the rest of the image. There’s also a vibration motor built in for haptic feedback, so you don’t need to look at the screen to confirm your action has been registered, it simply buzzes in your hand.
Alternatively, you can also point at elements in the old-fashioned way using a classic red laser pointer, which is still included. A programmable action button sits on the side of the housing, making it possible to do things like mute the connected computer or show a blank display with one quick press. Logitech Spotlight 2 connects to a PC via Bluetooth or using the USB dongle supplied, boasting a wireless range of up to 30 meters, which is good for large rooms. The battery life is rated for three months; Logitech claims just one minute on the USB-C cable will provide enough power for a full three-hour presentation.
Pricing and Colour Options
Logitech Spotlight 2 is available to buy imediately for $129.99, either through the Logitech online store or via Amazon if you prefer. The presenter can be had in four distinct colours, these being purple, beige, dark gray and black.
