    Man I love your channel! I was just about to buy a Spotify Car Thing when it sold out, bummer. I am definitely looking forward to purchasing a macro pad, but my desktop setup is pretty much cableless, are there any wireless macropads that you've found to be good? Oh and just a nitpick, the repeated use of the exact same clip for B-roll is not necessarily bad, but once you notice you cannot unnotice. Otherwise your presentation and video production skills are superb. Great job.

    You're absolutely entitled to your opinion and I value your feedback. For my part, Ill say that I did take time to mention that the software experience was not great, and I even showed the translation issues as well. That said, for $25... the software performed as about as well as one could reasonably expect for something so cheap. If I paid 100.00 for something like this it would simply be returned and I'd never make a video covering it. I also want to make it clear that I made this video to share my experience of improving desk setup with a unique and affordable product, and nowhere did I describe this video as a formal review. I will consider removing the affiliate link for the product though, I'm not really focused on earning income that way, it's just a way for me to pay for video editing software. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
