Satechi Bluetooth Remote Control, R2 Multimedia Remote Control in Presentation & Media Mode, for MacBook Air/Pro M5/M4, iPad Air/Pro M5/M4/M3, Not Compatible with Windows 10/11

I tested a bunch of remotes to work with my Samsung S25, since I am using the S25 to stream Qobuz to my home sound system (via FiiO K13 R2R DAC). I tested a bunch of remotes (bluetooth) to work with the S25 and all sucked. Latency with those bad ones was very bad. There is ZERO latency with this remote, the Satechi. ZERO! I kid you not. Even if you put it down for a whole day, you pick it up and it works immediately as if it was infrared remote. It looks amazing! Metal. Nice feel to it. Slick looking. Great looking on my furniture. But the functionality is AWESOME! It pauses/plays my Qubuz app, it next/previous, and of course volume control. Just awesome. Highly highly recommended. You will not be let down with this one. I want to buy one just in case they stop making it.

I bought this to operate YouTube videos on my iPad Pro. I watch videos while laying down and was tired of getting up to pause/play and control volume. It was very easy to pair and works great. I love that the buttons are simple and clear and don’t have to look to find controls. It has a good weight and feels like a quality product. I love that it’s rechargeable. It was exactly what I was looking for and would highly recommend.

This is the 5th Bluetooth remote I bought from Satechi (from version-1 I guess to date R2 version in 2021). I'm extremely happy with Satechi products so far (baring few improvements suggested here) Now coming to review of R2 Satechi Bluetooth Remote Control: Pros: 1. Overall quality of the material & product is awesome + it is very sturdy remote. 2. Technical support is always great and so is the warranty by Satechi. 3. Buttons on the remote have been redesigned and are very functional and handy. Cons (I would rather term this as improvements needed) 1. USB-C charger cable length is extremely small and should be at minimum 3-6 ft. 2. No charger provided in the package and the assumption by Satechi is that you will have the charger for a C-type cable. 3. It only connects to 1 device at a time and that is why I have multiple remotes since I bought the first one in 2007-2008. 4. Presenter doesn't work on LED, OLED TVs. 5. Cost $$ is slighter on the higher side but quality comes at a price. So I can live with it. 6. Slightly on the higher side with weight but acceptable due to its sturdiness. Thank you team @Satechi for making awesome products. Ashok

Solid build, quality materials. Extremely cumbersome to use, random buttons do random things, no instructions or guides. Doesn't really work with YouTube, cannot control volume, cannot skip anything, it is fiddly to point from a distance - it ends up being randomly pressing buttons to see which ones may get a response from the program being used. Too much effort and limitations for the price, returning it.

Intuitive and easy to setup and use. The remote works perfect for my apple device to remotely control my sons phone I use with youtube as a sound machine. This allows me to remotely play/pause and raise or lower the volume. It would however be a nice feature to have a sleep function so the power button is not needed allowing to press the button of the remote to wake it up. The remote feels solid and well built, and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a remote for an apple device such as an ipad or iphone!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5 stars Works flawlessly with Teleprompter Pro — smooth, reliable, and easy to use I bought the Satechi R2 Teleprompter Remote to use with the Teleprompter Pro app, and it has been a complete game-changer for my video setup. Pairing it was simple and took less than a minute — it connects seamlessly via Bluetooth without any confusing steps. Once connected, the remote instantly synced with the app and started controlling the scroll functions perfectly. The design feels sleek and high-quality, which is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Satechi. The buttons have a satisfying tactile feel — firm enough that you won’t press them accidentally, but responsive enough to react immediately when you do. The layout is intuitive, so even if you’ve never used a teleprompter remote before, it’s incredibly easy to get the hang of. Functionally, it performs exactly as I hoped: scrolling text up and down smoothly, pausing or speeding up with no lag or skipped lines. The Bluetooth connection stays stable, and I’ve never experienced any random disconnects mid-recording. The range is excellent too — I’ve tested it from several feet away and it still works flawlessly, which is perfect when I’m filming solo commentary videos. Battery life is impressive; I’ve been using it regularly for weeks, and it’s still going strong on the original charge. The USB-C charging port is another nice touch — no need to deal with outdated cables. It also feels lightweight but sturdy, and the compact size makes it easy to keep in a camera bag or even a pocket. What I really appreciate most is how seamlessly it integrates with the Teleprompter Pro app. The speed control, start/stop, and directional buttons all respond instantly, which keeps recordings smooth and professional. It eliminates the awkwardness of having to reach over to tap the screen or adjust the scroll speed mid-script — I can control everything discretely while maintaining eye contact with the camera. If you’re creating YouTube videos, doing public speaking recordings, or filming educational or commentary-style content, this remote makes the entire teleprompter process feel effortless. It’s especially useful for solo creators who don’t have someone off-camera managing the script. Overall, this is one of those accessories that quietly makes your workflow dramatically easier. It’s reliable, responsive, and thoughtfully designed — exactly what you want for content creation. I highly recommend it if you use Teleprompter Pro or any other compatible app. It just works.

This is so sleek, i love how it feels on my hand. And most importantly it works perfect. I was using a Targus brand for my iPad before i discovered this brand, the difference is so noticeable. With this brand or model, when I’m doing a presentation on my iPad it goes at a pace i want. Unlike the other brand of presentation pointers that goes too fast. This is highly recommended. Oh, one more thing, being that it is Bluetooth and you don’t need to plug nothing on your computer or device, you are not just saving money buying batteries you are as well enjoying convenience.

Bought for use with a MacBook Pro works for the most part. A few of the buttons don't translate over. Very good presentation mouse and can use to control YouTube and Spotify. Easy to fit in the backpack. Not too large.
