From my first play it was not as responsive as I would like, occasionally I would hit a different clip and nothing would happen. May need to tweek the set up or play around with it a bit more. Also you really have to be focused on the device when changing things to make sure you are touching the right thing, obviously because you cant do it by feel. It's pretty cool though to have it talk back and forth with live, all setting updated and all parameters for synths, and the sequencer as well, all wireless. But I don't think it really replaces the feel of hardware buttons(more adds to it), at least for me.

Are you not a fan of lives takeover modes as far as the non motorized value adjustments? I ment to ask this before is it annoying?

I bought the APC and ZeroMKII as I found them for a good price, also what sold me on the Zero as well is it has regular MIDI ports so I might have a go at making a template for my Mopho box, yay asdr sliders
