I want to love this for the price, but the viewing angle is a real problem...
I really want to love this thing, and I use it constantly. It is easy to use and program, compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux out of the box, macros are straightforward, and it's a delight to assign them to keys and watch my menus of single button actions grow. However, the hardware does leave a few things to be desired. Keys are mushy, which is forgivable at this price, and it seems like the Elgato devices are similarly so. The main issue is that unless you have it on a stand/mount and angled up toward your face (for which there are no mounting holes or folding legs) and are sitting more than 20-30 degrees back (I feel like 45 degrees is pretty natural in most desk setups), you will be very disappointed with not only the color washout, but the basic legibility of many of your keys, especially those on the top row. This is because the mini LCD screens are actually placed fairly low down within the body of each key. I have read the Elgato devices suffer the same drawback, but it's still important to plan for if you choose this device. You WILL want to put it on a mount or attach some kind of aftermarket kickstand. It seems like a tough and well-built device with a metal plate under the back plastic that allows me to use a simple phone magnet stand (NOT MAGSAFE, which doesn't stick) to keep it propped up, though I have knocked it off a couple of times being too aggressive when fumbling for a button without looking. I am probably going to swap out the magnet stand for an old school 17 mm ball-based car cell phone mount (pictured), which it seems will stick it in place well. Basically the device is great for the price, but the viewing angle is a problem VSD should have been more proactive about helping users address, so I am subtracting a star.

Great for macro/hot keys
Wanted/needed to add some macro and hot keys for my computer to try and simplify my day job. Works well with my 2015 iMac running opencore legacy and Ventura and overall I am happy with it. Still writing some macros but even the basic sound control and webpage macros work well. I still don't understand the tab with the anime characters' purpose but alas. The weather tab is pretty cool.
