Sturdy build but lacking PSU
I use this to connect all my USB things to my MacBook (mouse+keyboard, ilok, external drives, controllers, phone, whatever).
The hub is a thin metal brick, extremely solid yet surprisingly light: the handling is very nice. Since it is obviously impossible to provide all these devices with adequate power from the one USB connection to the laptop, an external PSU is necessary.
However, the unusual 5V 4A rating in combination with a 3.5/1.35mm plug makes it extremely tedious to find a fitting PSU. I had to settle for one rated for 3A to get the other two factors right.
A fitting external power supply should definitely be part of the package and the fact that it's missing makes 60€ feel a bit expensive. The build quality partly makes up for that, but it's only a USB hub after all.

Does its job but not sturdy enough for the price
Works perfectly as a high-speed usb hub for Elektron's, or whatever you want to connect. But due to the pricepoint, I was expecting a more sturdy unit - the inner mechanics sits loose and rattles. Maybe I got a unusually loosely assembled unit, in that case I think the quality control should be improved.

Works as it should
I am using it with A4 and RYTM. Works fine, but I had to add an adapter to get the best out of it.
