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:
- 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.
- Click on the remote, then select Buttons (or Keys) to see all of the buttons you can program.
- Click the button you want to change. A menu will open on the right with the available actions.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
