The device, which doubles as an optical mouse, uses Bluetooth technology to control presentations from up to 10m.
CSR first began working with Logitech by providing the Bluetooth technology for the Cordless Presenter and for the USB receiver module to deliver a robust remote connection to laptops or PCs equipped with Bluetooth connectivity.
