Anyway, this is the most popular page turner for Kobo e-readers. I bought it for use on one. It works quite well. I have a barely used Kindle colorsoft but I was getting bugged with not being able to use it with a bedside stand. I got a clip-on page turner and it doesn't work well at all. Page turns aren't reliable, can't move back and the clip on hides text on screen. Finally read about Kobo readers working well with these. So bought a Libra Colour and this controller. It's works surprisingly well. Am able to turn pages back and forth without issue.
Was even able to set it up with KOReader on the Libra Colour. Took me 2 days to figure that out. Third party KOReader plugins don't work with Libra Colour yet. Anyway, point is almost all compatibility efforts on ereader page turners focus around this device. It's pretty much perfect for that use case.
I really liked the idea of something small enough to toss in my bag for long travel days, but holy crap it hurts to use this for more than a couple minutes.
Seems like there are a number of non-gaming uses for it though, so maybe it's worth it if you're looking to repurpose it.
