Great for editing in Final Cut which is obviously what it's made for. It's a little awkward for just typing if you aren't a good typist already. My only real complaint is that it requires two usb ports to operate. My Mac Studio only has two usb ports so I have to use both of them for this or use a usb adapter which neither is ideal but not a deal breaker. I also wish it came with a chart that tell you what the color codes are. Still love the product and it has definitely sped up my editing process which is what everyone wants. I do recommend this product I would just be aware of the two usb plugs.
