The key is done in a somewhat lightweight plastic. The purple button that lets out the USB port is very easy to sink, too, perhaps, if we keep the thumb on while wanting insert the key into a USB port, the port has a tendency to go. Aside from that, the overall performance look quite good. Some hundreds of pictures are written in rather short time (some of my old keys could take many minutes!), Both on Windows and GNU / Linux. My only regret, which unfortunately stems from the desire of all industrial, remains the lack of a switch to lock the key in reading (stop writing): in time it was done, but for many years the keys are devoid switch. It's a shame when we have to use his key on multiple computers, and some may very well be infected with a virus!
