Works well with Linux
Not officially supported, but it shows up as a keyboard so plain shortcuts work fine. You lose per-app profiles without the app.

Mixed feelings
Hardware is good. The app updated itself and reset my profile once, which was annoying. Back it up if you buy one.

Great for audio editing
Split, fade in, fade out, normalise. Podcast edits that took an hour now take forty minutes or so.

Recommended by a friend, glad I listened
He'd had his for a year and still uses it daily. Mine arrived well packed and works just as he said.

Cable placement is odd
The port is on the side instead of the back, so the cable sticks out towards my mouse. Minor, but I notice it every day.

Pays for itself in a week
I do product photos for a small shop. Batch export, crop presets and copy settings on keys. Hours saved over a month.

Is your Shopify reviews app slowing your product pages?
What shoppers see, and what changed
What shoppers see
Shoppers see the same stars and reviews, and the store keeps using its review app to collect and approve them. What changed is underneath: the reviews are stored in the store's own Shopify admin and built into the page by the theme, so the browser doesn't load the review app's code to show them.
Many Shopify review apps quietly add 50–500 kilobytes of JavaScript and multiple extra HTTP requests to every product page. In an A/B test at the online fashion retailer Zalando, a 100 ms improvement in loading time led to a 0.7% uplift in revenue per session. That's one retailer's test, so I won't turn it into a dollar figure for your store.
Writing a review
Click "Write a Review" and Judge.me's form opens in a new tab. That's intentional: Judge.me still handles submission and moderation. Only the display moved into Shopify.
Submission runs on Judge.me's page, so its form loads only for the visitor who clicks the button, not for everyone who views the product.
¹ Chrome DevTools Network tab, 25 October 2026. Chrome Incognito, no extensions, cache disabled, no throttling, five hard reloads; the request count was the same on all five. I filtered for "judgeme" on a copy of the store's theme with the Judge.me app embed on, then on the live theme with it off, which returned zero matching requests. The count changes when Judge.me ships a new build, so the date matters. On this page the Write a Review button is a plain link and loads no script.
What's in the build
- Built with
- The store's theme, no review-app code
- Review app files added
- 0
- Review app code added
- 0 kB
- Review app scripts on the page
- 0
- Where reviews live
- In the store's own Shopify admin
- Scope
- Text reviews. Photo and video reviews, verified-buyer badges and sending reviews to Google Shopping are separate work.
- What it relies on
- Judge.me, which still collects the reviews, and a sync that copies new ones into the store. No review-app code on the storefront.
- Cost
- The sync ran on Judge.me's free plan on fosterui.com, October 19, 2026.
- Replaces
- Judge.me's storefront embed and blocks, the part that displays reviews.
Trade-offs
- New reviews show up after the next sync. The store decides how often it runs: hourly, daily or weekly.
- The standard build syncs text reviews. Photos, videos and your replies I can build in, quoted separately.
- The review form opens on Judge.me, in a new tab, so its form code loads only for the visitor who clicks.
- The sync runs on GitHub, in an account the store owns, so no server of mine sits between your store and Judge.me. I can run it elsewhere, quoted separately.

I measured the review widget on this page.
Every file it loads is counted above; the native display loads none of them. I can build the same display into your store.
