I'm pretty impressed with this device. It's main drawbacks is that it is not wireless and has no gyro / motion control. However, as a pure mouse and keyboard replacement device I think it does a pretty good job. The buttons are all well placed, with very clicky mouse-style switches. In particular the right bumper having a 2nd button you can click in with the bend of your finger is genius.

The default mappings are also clearly done by someone who is familiar with doing input mappings for m/kb games, and uses the right buttons that will work well for most games and they are positioned properly. For example putting Shift and Space by default on the back buttons which most games will use for sprinting and jumping, or the default bumpers being Q and E which are generally abilities. And since it is recognized by Windows as just a normal mouse and keyboard it is of course fully mappable in input remappers like reWASD, or you could just remap in games.

The touchpad itself feels like a normal laptop touchpad for me, it's not very precise and personally I wouldn't use it as my main controller for shooters. If this device had gyro built in I think it would be great for wide camera sweeps while using the gyro for more precision. However I think this can be a great option for lots of PC games that require cursor control and keyboard inputs; stuff like adventure games, isometric RPGs, strategy games, tactics games, etc.
