There are obvious seams you can see, and it looks like the surface is made from 3 separate pieces, but it's only aesthetic; it's very solid.
There are 6 faces:
- Breathe: a simple, worn area for rubbing your thumb. The only face that is identical
- Click: a 5-button side, looking similar to a die face. All 5 are audible buttons
- Spin: like a flattened hand-crank. It takes a while to get used to spinning it; it's a very unnatural motion at first, but after a while, this became the thing I played with most. Very low profile.
- Glide: a joystick. It's a little crooked in its resting state and has a click to it like a joystick button. This is a pro and a con because it limits the range of motion when sliding the joystick around. You can slide it, but ultimately it ends up making it as much a big button to press as a joystick to slide around.
- Roll: 3 gears that audibly click and a ball that rolls around. The gears are very satisfying, but now and again will catch and must be rolled the other way to un-catch them. The ball slides more easily perpendicular to the gears direction; I don't know if that's a design flaw or feature, but I like it as I can roll two different ways and the resistance one way compensates for one's thumb's more limited lateral motion (compared to the easier thrusting motion).
- Flip: like a low-profile light switch. It has 3 different positions: "on", "off", and one in-between. I like the 3-way switch as it provides more variability, but it also means there's not a clean SNAP each way, but rather a ka-SNAP. I was expecting this one to not have a silent way to click it, but surprisingly, if you press down it flips silently. I find myself using this one a lot as well.
It's a great bargain, well-built, and even has some aspects that differ from others. (Review by Kindle Customer)
