Logitech Laser Presentation Remote: Do you have any instructions on how to program or set it up to work with the SSP kits?

The remotes are customised through Logitech's free app called Logi Options+. Download the app from logi.com/optionsplus and install it on the computer you will be presenting from.



Once it is installed:


  1. Plug the remote's USB receiver into the computer (or pair it over Bluetooth if you prefer). The remote should then appear on the Logi Options+ home screen.


  1. Click on the remote, then select Buttons (or Keys) to see all of the buttons you can program.


  1. Click the button you want to change. A menu will open on the right with the available actions.


  1. This is the useful part. Each button can hold two actions: a normal short press and a separate "press and hold" (long press) action. I leave the short press doing its usual job (moving the slides forward and back) and assign the long press to a keyboard shortcut instead.


  1. For the long press, click on the keyboard shortcut option, then record the shortcut you want. To move between open tabs in Chrome, I use Control and Tab together to go to the next tab, and Control, Shift and Tab together to go back a tab (remember the shortcut depends on whether you are on a Mac vs. PC and the browser you are setting it, a quick Google search will give you the right shortcut). I set one button's long press to each (enter that shortcut into the shortcut actions part, and it will set it up for you).


  1. Changes save automatically, so you can close the app and test it straight away.


That way a quick press still drives the presentation, and holding the button switches between your open tabs or kits without touching the keyboard.
