IPAD APPLE LASER POINTER AND SLIDE PRESENTER
By Roger from Orlando on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025
I have a presentation with slides on a big screen. I have it on my IPAD. I needed a slide changing device to show my slides. You do have to buy an adapter to connect the R500 USB to the iPad. I have tested the R500 many times now and it works great; as represented. It is very simple to operate. I would like the instructions to be more clear about how to sink it and how to turn it off at the end. I had to sink it several times before it would stay on, which is me not doing something correct; not the R500. Also, I could never find out how to shut it off so I just remove the battery. I worry that it may go off on its own, but for an hour presentation that has 10 -15 minutes of inactivity I don’t want it to go off in the middle of my talk. That is a fear, not a fact; but that should be addressed in the minimum instructions. I trust LOGITECH brand so I will have to figure it out; but the above info would be helpful. Roger of Orlando

Not Truly iPad-Compatible, Despite Claims
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2025
Although the product specifies it is not compatible with iPad Pro models, it claims to support other iPads running iOS 8 or later. However, newer iPads—such as the iPad Air M3—run iPadOS, not iOS. That distinction seems critical, as the device does not function correctly under iPadOS 18.5. Before purchasing, I asked Amazon’s Rufus whether the device would work with my iPad Air M3. Rufus responded that it was compatible with iPads running iOS 8 or later. Technically, that statement is correct—but incomplete. Rufus did not mention that iPadOS is a separate operating system, and the device appears to lack compatibility with it. The remote connects easily to the iPad via Bluetooth or the included USB receiver, and the iPad recognizes it. Unfortunately, the Forward and Backward buttons (the remote has just three: Laser Pointer, Forward, and Backward) do not advance slides in PowerPoint or Keynote. Instead, they only navigate through interface elements like menus, making the device unusable for presentations on iPad. In contrast, the remote works as expected with an iPhone 16 (iOS 18.5) and an iMac running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1. If you’re using an iPad running iPadOS—especially a newer model—be aware that this product may not be compatible, even if descriptions (or digital assistants like Rufus) seem to suggest otherwise.
