Let me tell ya, I have owned my fair share of presentation remotes in my lifetime. One day I discovered I could use my phone as a remote and used that for quite awhile. I really did love using my phone and even wrote the blog post: How to Use Your Phone as a Presentation Remote.

But there was just one problem with both the regular presentation remotes and using my phone...
I would set them down (yes, even while presenting!) and forget where I left them! Just recently I discovered is guy...

It is a presentation remote RING that I WEAR and can't set down! I shared this gif on both my Facebook and Instagram pages and received a ton of questions so I thought I would compile everything in this blog post.

It's Affordable!

I stumbled upon THIS ring remote on Amazon. There are lots of different kinds but I opted for the DinoFire. I most likely decided on this one since it has a built in laser pointeršŸ˜‚. Below is my affiliate link, just click the image:

When I purchased this remote and at the time of writing this post it was $15.99. Within an hour of sharing it on my Instastories, Lesa Johnson (@MrsJohnsonZPS) discovered that it was on lightning deal for $11.99...YAHOO! Unfortunately that deal has ended but maybe it will happen again one day soon.

Compatibility

This remote works with a wide range of devices and programs (see image below). I have used it with both Google Slides, PowerPoint and Nearpod on my Mac laptop and Chromebook...worked beautifully!

Little Tip☝

Please don't laugh at me. For some reason I can't for the life of me remember which arrow advances forward and which one moves backward. Therefore, I added a small sticker next to the forward advancing button.

How it Works

First, charge the ring using the USB cable that comes with your purchase (charging time is about 1 hour). The listing claims that it will work for 7 days (I have yet to test this...). Plug the small USB chip into your computer and switch the ring to ON . As soon as I launched my presentation I was controlling everything from my ring. It really was super easy.

If you are like me and have a Mac that does not have USB ports, then you will need THIS thunderbolt adapter:

Someone asked me if it works with SmartNotebook files or Promethean flipcharts. Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to try it with either. However, @mac4teacher on Instagram shared that she ordered a ring remote and it works with her SMART Notebook files!
