I was worried at first because it was cheaper but hey, I love it
Super impressed that you know it performs very well. It's easy to install. It's very durable. It was super affordable. It doesn't draw too much heat and I haven't had any point where it was like. Got unstable wattage where it could cause issues I think it's awesome

Great Potential, Difficult for Non-Programmers
It take me 2 days to program this usb from scratch and understand the memory so : IYou might get value if you: Are willing to learn embedded programming / firmware building (C/C++, SDKs, flashing tools) and want a cheap entry to IoT / mesh / wireless projects. Are comfortable with occasional hardware tinkering (maybe soldering, debugging with J-Link or SWD) — or are willing to get such tools. Intend to run or use community / third-party firmware that’s already built for nRF52840 dongles (e.g. Thread/Zigbee gateways, custom BLE devices), so you don’t need to write code from scratch.

Great nRF52840 dongle alernative, requires disabling DCDC to work
Great alternative to the nRF52840 dongle. Unfortunately the user guide instructions are not up to date with the latest version of nRF Connect but once the DCDC is disabled the device works exactly as expected.

Perfect, well packaged substitute for the nrf52840 dongle!
Great product if you would like a nicely packaged substitute for the OG nrf52840 dongle that also connects via type-c. I was able to easily program the nrf sniffer using nrf connect (and putting into program mode holding the button while inserting) and it works great! It’s exactly what I was hoping it would be. Also, the documentation on the raytac website is very thorough showing programming examples, schematics, etc.
