This logitech controller is not Mac OS X compatable, ( from the spec sheet ) so it wont control Keynote properly. It is set up to controll Powerpoint.
With intuitive controls, red laser pointer and a 50 ft. Range, the R400 wireless presenter helps you make your point. In our previous review for the Canon remotes, we’ve come to the conclusion that the PR10-G is the best Canon presenter. As for Logitech, the R500 Presentation Pointer emerged to be far more outstanding than the R400 and R800. Today, we’re going to compare these 2 top-notch products and help you decide which presenter is best for you.
Logitech Presenter R400 Mac Setup
The keyboard commands 'F5' and '.' are not Keynote commands, I know they are used in Powerpoint.
in Keynote '.' is exit playback
Logitech R400 Pairing
alt cmd P is play
B is screen black
The K command is a system command for Quicktime so this does work in Keynote for QT play control.
The Logitech is a mouse device and uses mouse button control.
To change the control of the logiteck you would need Mac compatible mouse control software which isnt available for the R400.
