Genius’ Ring Pointer Review
Specifications:
Packaging:
The simple and transparent packaging is pretty standard for the past iterations of ring style presenters from Genius. For around $36, the Ring Pointer has a lot of potential.
In the packaging of the Ring Pointer, Genius has included a carrying pouch, USB charging cable, an instruction manual, the 2.4GHZ wireless receiver, and Ring Pointer.
The Ring Pointer itself is made of a nice black and brushed aluminum-like surface. The device itself exudes elegance and style. This made us wish that other Genius products like the Ring Mouse would have a similar look. The Ring Pointer certainly wins in the looks department.
As we see below, the Ring Pointer has a total of 5 buttons: Play/ESC, previous and next page, the laser pointer, blank page/power for the ring presenter. There is no real “software” for the Ring Pointer to customize the buttons on the presenter, but a user may change its options in Windows.
The Ring Pointer’s 2.4GHZ wireless receiver is extremely easy to use – simply plugging in the device will make the Ring Pointer work. The Ring Pointer’s lithium-ion battery may be charged with an included micro-USB cable.
There is also a blue LED battery indicator on the Ring Pointer that will flash when the device needs charging. The laser pointer on the device will work at a distance of up to 10 meters.
