2026 TECH ACCESSORIES TESTED IN AUSTRALIA Logitech Tech Accessories ## Logitech Spotlight 2 Logitech's most advanced presenter, but only if you install the app. Connectivity Bluetooth LE / Logi Bolt USB-C Range Up to 30m Battery Up to 3 months/charge Weight 54g From $199.95RRPAUD * * * I almost didn’t accept the Logitech Spotlight 2 advanced presenter to review. While I’ve given my fair share of PowerPoint presentations in the past, my current role as the sole editor at BTTR doesn’t afford me many opportunities to pull out the old PowerPoint. But the pitch was too interesting to pass up. It uses haptics to help you regulate your breathing when you’re nervous, and help you manage your presentation time. It was certainly fascinating enough for me to get one sent out to test. I pulled it out of the box, set it up and then… promptly forgot about it. As I said, I don’t make too many PowerPoints these days. My wife, however, gives the occasional presentation for her work. So I tried to rope her in to writing a review. Unfortunately, her work laptop’s security policy prevented her from downloading the software that makes the Spotlight 2 special. It still worked as a presenter, but didn’t offer much more than a cheap $30 model without the Logi Options+ software to make it vibrate gently. So, I used it to present a random PowerPoint to myself. And I found that it’s exceptional hardware held back by its software requirement. 💡 __Logitech supplied the Spotlight 2 for this review.__ ## What makes the Logitech Spotlight 2 stand out? This is not only Logitech’s flagship presenter, but arguably the most advanced presenter you can buy with legal tender in Australia. Sure, it lets you move both forward and back through slides, but it also has its own laser pointer and a range of digital highlighting software tools to help you get more from your slides. What makes this _truly_ unique though is the haptics. Little motors in the presenter that vibrate to give you feedback, whether that’s a calming vibration to help you manage your nerves with breathing exercises, or just let you know when your allocated presentation time is running out discreetly. It comes with its own Logi Bolt USB-C receiver, conveniently stored in the bottom of the controller itself, or you can pair it to your laptop with Bluetooth LE. ### Logitech Spotlight 2 specs Price| $199.95 RRP AUD ---|--- Colour tested| Sand Also available in| Graphite, Light Lilac, Black Part number (Sand)| 910-007677 Dimensions (with receiver)| 145 x 30 x 13.5 mm, 54g Dimensions (without receiver)| 125 x 30 x 13.5 mm, 52.5g Connectivity| Bluetooth or Logi Bolt USB-C receiver Wireless range| Up to 30m Battery| Li-ion, rechargeable via USB-C.

Its sleek aluminium finish is solid enough you know it’s there, but lightweight enough it doesn’t become cumbersome to hold. I tested the “Sand” colour option and while I’m not sure why it’s called that given it’s more silvery bronze, it’s still a nice-looking piece of kit. In fact, my first thought when I unboxed the Spotlight 2 was that it reminded me of an Apple TV remote, but with a slightly rounder body. The controls are sparse but intuitive. There are three buttons on the Spotlight 2: left and right arrows on the front, for controlling your slides, and a side button for the laser pointer and shortcuts. There’s also an indented circle above the front buttons, and that’s the haptic centre of the presenter. It doubles as an extra button, giving a slight vibration for a mid-press and heavy press, as well as your breathing exercises and time notification alerts. Logitech intelligently included the Logi Bolt receiver into the bottom of the presenter, with a small rubber loop to help you remove it from the controller. The USB-C charging port inside does sit a little deep, so you may have some trouble charging the presenter if you have chunky USB cables, but the Bolt receiver itself is easy to pop in and out. The design is fundamentally built around intuitive design. At no point do you need to look at the Spotlight 2 to know what you’re pressing. You can use it in either hand, navigating the controls by touch easily, which is precisely what you want for a presenter. ## Performance As I said at the start, I don’t give many presentations these days. But to test this out, I opened up the BTTR Media Kit in Google Slides and hit presentation mode. Even through the Bluetooth connection, slide transitions are fast and responsive. You can quickly cycle through each slide with the front buttons, and I didn’t notice any delays or issues. The haptic circle gives a nice level of additional control. A mid-press will give you a digital laser pointer on the screen, while a heavy press will launch a spotlight view to really draw attention to the elements you want on the screen. You can customise these elements in the Logi Options+ app too, from the colour and size of the digital laser pointer to the ability to control an on-screen cursor to click links on the screen. A heavy press can be set to either a circle or square spotlight, a magnifier or an annotation tool. These all work really well, though I found the annotation challenging to control while firmly pressing down the haptic button. You can adjust the responsiveness of the haptic panel, though. You can also use the side button as a shortcut to start and end your presentation, with a single press placing the slideshow into present mode. A double click of that side button, meanwhile, launches the breathing exercise. If you get nervous before a big presentation I think this could be helpful. The vibration is subtle, and not obvious, but if it helps you focus on your breathing, it could definitely calm nerves. Arguably more useful on the haptic side is the timer alert. In the Logi Options+ app, you give the presenter how long your presentation time is, and then give yourself vibration alerts to warn you when you are running out of time. By default, there are 5 minute and 1 minute alerts, but you can set a custom time if you prefer. It only lets you set the timer in minutes though, so there’s no option for a 30-second warning. The alerts are discreet, though they don’t increase in intensity to remind you’re getting closer to the end. The culmination of all this is a device spectacularly crafted to serve its singular purpose. You can use it effortlessly without having to glance at it once. The catch is that many of the features require the Logi Options+ app installed on your machine to work. So if you are suddenly trying to present from a co-workers machine using the Logi Bolt, the feature count drops considerably. The forward and back buttons work fine, and the laser pointer continues to shine with a long press. But you can't use the side button to launch Present mode, and haptics largely disappear. Pressing and holding the central cirlce will let you control your computer's cursor, though. On the battery front, Logitech claims up to three months on a full charge, but it will depend on how much you use it. My review unit, having sat around my desk for the better part of two months, is still at 50%. If you find it suddenly empty right before a presentation, a quick one-minute charge should give you enough for three hours of presenting. ## Verdict The Logitech Spotlight 2 is a stunning piece of kit, designed extensively for the sole purpose of helping you give better presentations. The hardware is stylish, comfortable to hold and impossibly simple to use. And the addition of haptics, both the breathing exercises and the timer alerts, gives really useful extra functionality to what is fundamentally a single-purpose gadget. The catch here is the cost. At $199.95 RRP, it is expensive. If you only give the occasional presentation, then the Logitech is very likely overkill for your needs. For the price, this is targeted to those who live in PowerPoint, who spend their days making their pitches through slides. For those people, the comfort, style, and feature set make this a brilliant companion. ### Buy the Logitech Spotlight 2 if * **You present for a living.** If you're regularly building and delivering slide decks, the comfort, haptics and digital tools earn their keep. * **You get nervous before presenting.** The haptic breathing exercise is a small but genuine bit of support before you go on. * **You want to track your time without checking a clock.** The vibrating timer alerts mean you can keep pace without breaking eye contact with the room. * **You want a remote you never have to look down at.** Every control is identifiable by feel, in either hand. ### Skip the Logitech Spotlight 2 if * **You only present occasionally.** At $199.95, it doesn’t justify its cost if you only use it twice a year. * **You often present from someone else's computer.** Without Logi Options+ installed, you lose most of what makes this worth the price. * **You're on a tight budget.** A basic $30 clicker will handle forward/back navigation just as well, without the extras. * **You need finer-grained timer alerts.** The minute-only increments won't suit anyone wanting a 30-second warning. **** ### Quick verdict The Spotlight 2 is a stylish gadget built entirely around helping you give better presentations. It's comfortable to hold and easy enough to use without looking at it. The haptic breathing exercises and timer alerts add useful functionality. The catch is the $199.95 RRP, and the fact that most of what makes it special needs the Logi Options+ app installed to work. #### Pros * Aluminium body feels premium without being heavy, and every control can be found by feel alone * Haptic timer alerts let you track your time without glancing at the remote * Breathing exercise feature via the haptic button offers pre-presentation nerve support * Digital highlighting tools (Spotlight, Squarelight, Magnify, Annotate) go well beyond a basic laser pointer #### Cons * Most standout features stop working without the Logi Options+ app installed on the machine you're presenting from * At $199.95 RRP, it's expensive next to a basic $30 clicker * Timer alerts can only be set in whole minutes, no 30-second warning option * Annotation mode is fiddly to control while holding the haptic button down #### Where to buy the Logitech Spotlight 2 From $199.95RRPAUD * * * ### Latest tech accessory deals ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Does the Logitech Spotlight 2 need an app to work? It works as a basic slide clicker straight out of the box over Bluetooth or the Logi Bolt receiver. But the haptic breathing exercise, timer alerts, and digital highlighting tools all require the Logi Options+ app installed on the presenting computer. #### How long does the Spotlight 2's battery last? Logitech claims up to three months on a full charge. After roughly two months of occasional use on my desk, the review unit was still sitting at 50%. If it does run flat, a one-minute quick charge gives you about three hours of presenting. #### Can you set a custom presentation timer on the Spotlight 2? Yes, through the Logi Options+ app. There are 5-minute and 1-minute alerts by default, and you can set a custom time. The timer only works in whole-minute increments though, so there's no option for a 30-second warning. #### What colours does the Logitech Spotlight 2 come in? It's available in Graphite, Sand, Light Lilac and Black. I tested the Sand colourway. #### Will the Spotlight 2 still work on a colleague's laptop without the app installed? Yes, but with reduced functionality. It'll still move slides forward and back via Bluetooth or the Logi Bolt receiver, but you lose the haptic feedback, breathing exercises, timer alerts and digital highlighting tools without Logi Options+ installed.
