Really good but not perfect

Let me start by saying that I recommend this device and I'm deducting a star just because I think for the price there are a few things that make it a little bit better could do. Good things: 1. Solid construction.2. Works well and solves a problem many home offices have: how to elegantly turn on computers on our desks, including USB lines, without a mega clutter.3. Adjusts left to right on the clamp as shown in my photo. You can loosen the set screw on the back and slide the band left or right to suit your location. This can make it easier to place next to a monitor stand, for example.4. The soft clip on the top helps to get more beautiful wooden top tables. Not so good: 1. No on/off switch or switch reset. The device has hundreds of joules of surge protection, but no circuit breaker with reset switch. It has some blue light. For the price I would like a switch. This would allow the user to turn off the computer system and accessories at night and save a few watts.2. I think there's room on the bezel to spread the AC plugs a little more - maybe another 1/2 inch or so. This would make it easier to install small AC power supplies on the device. See photo. It's now possible to use a short "Plug Saver" extension (6-12" extension) to get around this, but that defeats the purpose of organizing a table like this. All in all, I recommend keep it up and using this device Only Tam is frustrated at missed opportunities to achieve near perfection.
