Digital camera reviews of CH Multi Function Panel for All Windows Applications & PC Gaming
Digital camera Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
The CH Products MFP is an excellent hardware addition for anyone who uses software that has a set of regularly used input commands (photo or video editing programs, for example) or people looking for the ultimate gaming pad. The manufacturer's description does a good job of outling the MFP's function, so I'll stick to items that you will not find in that description.
The panel itself is fairly rugged, and mine has taken a lot of use and abuse. There should be no concerns about the adhesive keys - the adhesive is strong enough to keep the keys in place during use, but I have never had a problem prying the keys from the key tray to reposition them. The keys themselves are appropriately "springy," and offer good tactile feedback.
The Control Panel software (the user interface) is functional, but not as intuitive as one would like. You will have to read the instructions, which are provided in electronic form and not as a hard copy manual, in order to understand key programming. The instructions themselves are fairly detailed, but again, could be better. CH Products has released a Vista-compatible version of its software - if your MFP does not ship with that software, it can be easily downloaded from the manufacturer's website. Despite the software's shortcomings, the MFP is still a great product.
Additional "accessories" can be purchased for the MFP. These include additional key trays, which allow the user to quickly swap key sets, and keys 26-50 for those who need more than the standard 25 keys that come with the panel. I had a hard time finding retailers who sold the accessories, but they can be purchased online directly from the manufacturer.
There seems to be some confusion between the MFP and a similar product, Ergodex's DX1. Although they look nearly identical, they are not. Neither the hardware accessories (the keys, for instance), nor the user interface software are compatible or interchangeable. Also, as of the time of this review, Ergodex had yet to release Vista-compatible software, which may have caused some to believe that the MFP did not function with Vista.
Overall, the MFP is a great product.
