The triangular design looks good on my desk and it's easy to just face the card type I am using. CF on one side and SD on the next.
Transfer speeds are really good and I was pleasantly surprised to see USB-C on the actual device. It comes with a USB SS cable (super speeds for USB 3), but having a USB-C interface is a logical next step to have. These cards can't got to Thunderbolt transfers so SS is appropriate. In other words, the limiting speed factor is the card's read/write speeds. In a BlackMagic Disk speed, I got about 82MB/s in a CF card that is rated at 90MB/s, and about 255MB/s (read) on a SD card rated at 300MB/s. That's quite impressive.
Finally, the value for money is a no-brainer. 6 years ago, I would have had to spend at least $100 for a SanDisk equivalent (made with a robust metal enclosure). At almost a fifth of that price, if I knew about this product sooner, I would have purchased it already. Thus far very pleased.
I did see a review reporting issues with bent pins. That can happen with any card reader if the CF cards are inserted without any care. My gear is getting pretty old, but I still get amazing performance from them. That's largely because I treat my gear with care and respect and, in exchange, expect the best performance. I hope to have this card reader for many years to come.
