Great low cost sim racing button box
The media could not be loaded. I’m using this for my sim rig only and for that purpose it works great!Easy to set up the software on PC, and downloaded a bunch of premade icons from racedepartment. Did take me a few hours to get everything fully set up on it though as but that would be the same with stream deck ad well.Only thing I’d change is that I wish it was black, but happy with the quality and price!

software is a little funky
The software takes a minute to get used to and figure out how to work, but once you figure it out, I see a little to no difference Other than deck being a bit easier to use works just like a stream deck can do everything from open applications to run timers

Duro 1 mes!
tenia muchas expectativas del producto ya que veía que lo recomendaban como una gran alternativa al streamdeack de elgato, al principio no tenia problemas funciono bien muy intuitivo el uso de la app, hasta el día de ayer vi que funciono bien apague mi pc como de costumbre no tenia fallas, hoy al encenderlo me percate que la pantalla no daba imagen lo cual fue raro al intentar presionar un botón para ver si estaba apagada me doy cuenta que no reacciona, pero si miras la aplicación en el pc ves que esta funciona hace los cambios de escena y en si al presionar un botón si funciona, pero la pantalla no da imagen, no pude hacer la devolución y reembolsar por que preciso la garantía se cumplió hace 1 semana por lo cual me dejo un sin sabor muy grande y diciéndome a mi mismo lo barato sale caro, también pensé, bueno si es la pantalla busco la ref y la cambio, pero no lo hago ya que al destapar el producto para ver la referencia de la pantalla, me percato de un olor a quemado lo que me hace pensar que el daño no es de la pantalla si no de la placa, ya para terminar si realmente ven que necesitan un steamdeck y no tienen presupuesto recomiendo instalar macrodeck en un celular que ya no usen y el resultado es prácticamente el mismo

Straightforward Setup, Works Well, and the Info Display is Great!
I use this as hotkeys for a programming environment. I was able to add hotkeys for editing files, syntax check, compiling, debugging, etc.There are lots of options in the program used to set up the keys, but it only took a short while to figure it out. There are third-party plugins and icon packs available that can be installed in the setup program. I used one plugin and it worked well.I really like the "Info Display" feature, which is three additional displays (not buttons) that can show date/time, weather, and computer status such as CPU load, temperature, memory and disk usage, etc.I think this is a capable alternative to the Elgato Stream Deck with some additional features and a lower price.

I Really Wanted to Like This
I wanted to like this clone of the Stream Deck (not to be confused with the Steam Deck) as it seemed like a cheap(er) clone of the 15-button version 2 (50% cheaper if bought on sale), but it has some major flaws that I couldn't overcome to like it -- it may work for your workflow.For starters, the official Elgato Stream Decks are relatively simple in their build featuring an LCD panel, controller chip, a rubber membrane (for the button spring action), and a resistive film .. that's it. Nothing magical to it, each "button" is just a section of the screen graphically, but they are not individual screens as some may think. This configuration allowed the device to do what other devices in the past could not -- have changeable button graphics without the huge expense associated with individual mini-panels, while also giving the tactile feedback that users desired (compared to just using a tablet). This allowed Elgato (now owned by Corsair) to command the market and set the price.The AJazz device is constructed the same way (see attached screenshots), almost like it came out of the same factory in China. The software you use to configure the display appears to be a clone of the Elgato software version 5, hence why the Elgato plugins work if you know how to copy them into the folder. The LCD panel seems to be of the same quality, the feedback from the buttons is pretty close to the official, and the key plastic feels good -- the only minor difference I can see is the key tops are flat for the AJazz, but have a slight concave for better ergonomics on the Elgato. The spacing between the keys are identical on both my devices.That sounds all good, so what's the problem? The fact that the majority of this devices plugin ecosystem is likely to rely on the Elgato plugin ecosystem means that Elgato has every motivation to combat this practice and I suspect that's why some reviews have said the plugin store disappeared for them. AJazz could release updates and the cat/mouse game could proceed, but given the fact that they don't even make acquiring the English version of the software as easy as it should be leads me to speculate this device won't have a long support cycle. I expect Elgato will introduce some form of DRM/license check into their plugin API's going forward (if they haven't already). The negative of this is that your AJazz device has a good probability of being limited to a specific version.But I hear you .. the price is so good, I can live with using old versions and never updating. Sure, you probably can. Functionality wise, the device seemed to perform almost on par with my Elgato as long as you're running an action from the view (e.g. your current view -> button press -> send's hotkey) you are on, but if you start getting into nested profiles and folders, the AJazz falls behind performance wise (again, I suspect this is where many reviewers highlight a "delay" issue). I measured the delay to be upwards of 1-2 seconds to refresh to a folder in some instances. In comparison, the Elgato does this in about 200ms or less. For my workflow which involves using folders/profiles as mini-menu's (think a comma-rose or flyout menu) for nested commands, this is a deal breaker for me. For someone who just wants to have 15 hotkeys on the screen, this is probably a manageable limitation. It's possible they could fix this in a firmware update, but I would not count on it.3/5 stars for the value and build quality. It lost stars for the cumbersome way you have to acquire the software / chance you won't have long support, and the slow refresh.

Fit my need well
Needed a remote button for my laser cutter so I didn't have to keep running between my device and computer. With a 5 meter USB cable it works perfectly for that. I wish the screen could have a little more information in the non button area but that would just be an added benefit.

Some issues
DO NOT USE the USB cable that came with it.I was having many problems with the device, almost thought I got ripped off. It was freezing, I had to constantly restart the app or the device itself ( unplug and plug back in). Its performance was shoddy and I often missed the perfect chance to drop the right sound effect.I replaced the cable with a USB-C quality one, and plugged it directly into a USB-C port, all the problems went away. I think it has power issues with the default cable.Now it works perfect, and does everything I need it to do! Its been a blast making people laugh and/or scaring them half to death in horror games.This is an AWESOME deal even if you have to buy a $10 USB-C cable. I bought a second one for a present.

complicated
This thing works great once you have it working but good luck figuring out how to get it to work. itll not work for days and then randomly starts working and now that its working it works great. its just overly complicated for no reason and there is very little support or help or info out there for it.
