I wanted to share my positive experience, so far.
I have to use this for work to read and write data into industrial equipment. The countless other cheap CF card readers I have used in the past have lasted a very short time, and I have wasted a lot of labor time trying to bend the pins back with a tiny screwdriver. But this one has the pins deep inside the card slot, with guides for the CF card, preventing bent pins. The time savings using this reader will quickly justify the price.
I chose the bright red version because it is easy to see in my black work bag.
I was surprised to see it comes with a nice composite package that can be used to keep it in, so debris don't fall into the slot while in storage in my work bag. It appears the package is laser engraved.
As soon as I plugged it in to a USB port, Windows 10 recognized it and it worked right away. It has small LED indicator lights that come on when you plug it into a USB port, and the card slot lights up slightly too, so you can easily insert a CF card in the dark.
The package says it is designed and built in USA, so that is good to know too.

It has a nice tactile finish, and though one might balk initially at it not being 1023 IN ONE type card reader, you have to ask yourself how often are you actually reading cards of all those crazy configurations. For me I am using SD, MicroSD and CF. MicroSD goes into the adapter for the 5D3 and into the SD slot in my macbook. I take it out of the adapter for the GoPro hero and back in to read it again.
So really I am covered on those, and all I really need is a reliable and fast CF reading solution. Apart from the no-cable design here, the reader features a very deep socket and advertises "no-bend" pins which is really quite great. Once you bend the pins on a CF card reader you know the pain of trying to fix it.
I tested this in a Macbook Pro, and was able to achieve 50MB/sec read and 100MB/sec write to my Lexar 800x card. Though the card is rated to "max speed of 120MB/sec", the read seems effectively capped at 50MB/sec inside the 5D3 so not really surprised to see the same result on the Macbook.
So, in summary:
1. simple design with no cables
2. performs to my hardware spec on fairly high performance card
3. has a reliable and robust socket
4. nice tactile feel
Also can't tell from the pictures but it does have a blue LED to show when it's powered. This turns on if it's plugged in, card or no card.
Highly recommended so far.
CF readers have pins that are easy to bend. Care must be taken to slowly and carefully insert the cf into the reader. If the card is misaligned, you must move the card around until the pins line up. Some people have less patience or unsteady hands that makes regular cf readers more difficult to use. This product with the no-bend pins is exactly what you want; ease of use. This device is also a high quality build that I would expect to last for many years of use.
