Quality


It is incredibly well made and works like a dream!


First the good: the build of this is very solid, the aluminum body has weight (and feet, so it stays put) and keycaps and knobs...  Read More


The fit and finish on this thing is immaculate and it's made out of all metal and has a fully mechanical keyboard along with tw...  Read More


The device works without any software installation and does exactly what one would purchase such a pad for.

Price


I'm not sure if this is something i'd pay $80 for again.

Packaging/appearance


The board comes in a nicely reinforced box and arrives pre-assembled.


It truly looks like something you would see being used to control ship commands in star trek.


Out of the box it simply shows what layer is currently being used, which could have just as easily been done with 4 simple led ...  Read More


No instructions came in the box, and the downloadable guide was a bit scattered.

Competitiveness

    You have 16 keys and two dials


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are no directions in the box which is a huge con because i had no idea how to set this up initially


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One layer on the pad works right out of the box but youll need to do some setup to customize any of the four layers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I came back to the amazon page and realized that the manufacturer included videos here on amazon that explain how to use the via app and where to download the 16key configuration file


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They really need to include directions in the box


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I imagine this would also be good for gaming and for people using 10keyless keyboards


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I thought it might also be possible to this pad up sort of like a logitech steam deck and you sort of can but its not even close to as easy as the steam deck is to use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If youre buying one of these for that purpose youre better off getting a steam deck
