Technically ok, but design and Haptikdisaster

Was looking for a dimmer for my bedside lamp, softly he must therefore be. Did not want to buy the cheapest and therefore have decided for this. Anticipation really regret I did not buy, the dimmer does a good job but some compromises have to take.

First a brief product description. There is a cable dimmer. That is to be mounted must be solved one screw on the case bottom, open the case, the (best with ferrules) Screw in the two screw two cable ends and the two enclosed plastic strap mount with 2 screws for strain relief. Then screw it and you're done. All screws are Phillips Kreuzschiltz.

Now for the evaluation:
The dimmer is surprisingly large 90x28x28mm and thanks to the transparent housing, he is also still incredibly ugly.
In addition, he does not really feels high-quality. Especially the wheel is extremely schamming up shaky and a haptic disaster. This is especially in a quite high price of> 20 really annoying and disturbs me the most!
Furthermore, as sollts be otherwise, the dimmer of course buzzing too, but really very quiet and discreet. I hear it only when I turn directly towards my ear dimmer when I lie in bed ~ 50cm next to the dimmer I never hear it almost, even if I concentrate.
And last but not least has me a "feature" of the dimmer very disturbed: It lights up when it is off, the dimming of the lamp, the small neon lamp is dimmed in entgegenläufig switch. Some may appreciate this feature in order to find the switch in the dark, I found it very disturbing and I unceremoniously the glow unbrazed and the problem was solved.

I was about to award only 3 stars, but in the end I'm relatively happy. Design and very faint humming sound is still ok only the big case and the cheap feel really bothers me and I can not accept at such a price, so the devaluation!
