I got this hoping it would be a perfect fit for my DIY projects, especially since I like tinkering with tech in my free time. The reality is it's decent but has its quirks. The touchscreen is generally good, but it's not flawless, and I've had a few hiccups where it didn't register touches accurately. It works well for basic stuff, but for someone like me who's a bit of a perfectionist, it falls short of being ideal. Still, it's a handy tool to have around, and I appreciate how easy it is to integrate with other components. Not bad, but could be better.
- Pros: The screen is super responsive and feels smooth to the touch, which is a nice bonus for quick interactions. It's small and fits easily into my projects without taking up much space, and the flexibility with different connections makes it adaptable to various setups. Packaging was intact when it arrived, which is always a relief.
- Cons: From what I feel, it doesn't always perform as expected; sometimes the touch response lags or misses inputs, which can be frustrating. It might not be the best for more complex tasks, and I wish it had better reliability out of the box.
