The object is small (32 cm by 8 cm), super light, and all plastic. The interface is powered by USB. The finish is good and is not a gadget. It is clear as the strength will not be foolproof, but for use in home studio, no problem. I use it for several weeks with Reaper and everything works ok: all buttons and faders send midi CC commands, simply assign. The pink color you see on the picture Amazon appears only when you press a button, and only one who is in a hurry: screen is gray, readable yet discreet. The USB cable - supplied mini USB is short (just 1 m) and mini USB connector is bent. In my case it was not practical, I bought a 1.8 m cable not angled: Count 8 euros.
